The history of hair transplant surgery

Hair transplant surgery has come a long way since its introduction in the 1950s. The earliest hair transplant procedures used punch grafts, which involved removing small circular pieces of skin from the back of the scalp and transplanting them to the balding areas. Over the years, the technique has evolved, and more advanced methods have been developed, such as the DHI hair transplant. In this method, the hair follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialised tool called a Choi implanter. Another popular method is the FUE hair transplant. FUE, which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the balding areas. These modern techniques are minimally invasive, require less downtime, and produce more natural-looking results.
