History Of Hair Restoration Surgery Transformation And Latest Developments

Hair transplantation has gone through major transformation over the past years. The earliest reported hair transplant was reported in the late 1800s, and since then hair restoration has transformed into one of the most sought after cosmetic surgical procedures. Over the years more sophisticated methods has emerged and in the 1980s and 1990s the procedures allowed for more number of grafts to be transplanted at one time which lead to mega-sessions and follicular unit hair transplants of today.

Today's mega-sessions of Follicular Units involves high power microscopes which allow for thousands of follicular units of different sizes to be transplanted at one session, transforming hair restoration surgery into an art. patients receiving hair transplants now enjoy exceptionally natural results if their procedure is done by a qualified and experienced hair restoration surgeon.

Hair transplants of today have also been developed both in the harvesting techniques and placements of grafts into the scalp area. With FUT and FUE hair transplant harvesting techniques, patients can enjoy harvesting of thousands of units at one session, without worrying about huge scars. These harvesting methods if done by a specialized hair restoration surgeon can have leave very minimal scarring that can hardly be detected.

The recipient area preparation and placement of grafts has also gone though a transformation. Most qualified hair restoration surgeons use customized needles to make the incisions following the patients own orientation and direction of native hair. The different zones are mapped out for distribution of one, two and three hair units. Each unit is placed according to the size and orientation of hair. With this method a more dense packed hairline can be achieved using very small customized needles to make thousands of one and two hair units in the front.
