A comparison of graft implantation techniques for hair transplantation

J M Whitworth et al. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 1999 Jun.

Abstract

Modern hair restoration surgery involves moving hair-bearing grafts from the posterior scalp into areas of hair loss for correction of androgenic alopecia. Over the past decade, this procedure has been refined in multiple ways for the creation of increasingly natural results. The following is a comparison of commonly used graft harvesting, sectioning, and implantation techniques currently in use for hair restoration today. This comparison includes data on total procedure time, graft cutting time, graft insertion time, labor requirements, and cost.
