A male patient aged 30 had a 3-year history of hairline vitiligo (Figure 2a). The grafts were transversely sectioned, parallel to the epidermal surface (Figure 2b). Sectioned grafts were placed into the chambers for transplanting with forceps (Figure 2c). In the area of the hairy areas within the hairline, growing hair shafts and repigmentation were observed, without hair loss (Figure 2d). The patient was followed up with calcipotriol and betamethasone ointment, and significant improvement after 7 weeks (Figure 2e).
