Hair Implants The New Hair Plugs

Back in the 1050's a new technique for hair restoration was developed in the US involving hair transplanting from one portion of the scalp to another. Actually it was not discovered so much as rediscovered because there had been hair transplantation work done in Japan during the 30's but most of the information was lost during World War II. In Japan a lot of the procedures revolved around hair lash replacement and augmentation but in the US it was male pattern baldness that was more lucrative.
Originally the results of this hair procedure were known as hair plugs because that is what they looked like. A surgeon would remove a section of scalp with good hair growth and then make an incision in the bald spot. The removed hair plug was then placed in the opening and both incisions were sutured up. This resulted in little islands of hair sticking up in all different directions from the formally bald spot. The results were not very good.
The new hair implants techniques work with individual hair follicular units and thus you don't end up with a bunch of small clumps of hair. Instead, the surgeon can place the individual hairs in a way that matches the surrounding hair perfectly. This give a very nice look which is almost unnoticeable.
