About History Of Hair Transplant

• The field of hair restoration is a dynamic
  specialty whereby advanced technologies enable
  surgeons to achieve more aesthetically pleasing
  results. Hair loss seems to have troubled
  humanity since the dawn of history evidenced in a
  prescription for restoring hair that was included
  in the 1500 B C. Ebers papyrus of ancient Egypt.
  The success of modern hair transplantation
  depends on a phenomenon first described by
  Orentreich in 1957 as donor dominance. With this
  phenomena, hair taken from the permanent
  hair-bearing rim of patients with androgenetic
  alopecia (donor area) and transferred to
  non-hair-bearing areas of the scalp (recipient
  area), continues to grow in its new site for as
  long as it would have in the area from which it
  was taken.

The history of this field is summarized below

•    1804 - Baromio transplants hairy areas in
  animals
•    1822 - J. Dieffenbach performs
  auto-transplantation of hair into skin
•    1939 - Okuda uses 2- 4 mm punch grafts for
  restoration of alopecia
•    1943 - Tamura implants single hair grafts by
  injection for restoration of the skin overlying
  the mons pubis in the female
•    1959 - Orentreich utilizes hair-bearing
  auto-grafts for the correction of male pattern
  baldness
•    1980 - Limmer uses microscopes for the

•  1992 - Uebel performs the excision of a linear
  donor strip
•    1994 - Limmer single-strip harvests using
  stereomicroscopic dissection of individual
  follicular units, known today as FUT or the strip
  procedure.
•    1994 - Unger creates limitations of the
  donor-harvesting site by delineating the safe
  donor area
•    1995 - Woods harvests single follicular units
  using smaller circular punches (1 mm) with an
  acceptable aesthetic appearance and low
  transection rate
•    1997- Bernstein and Rassman describe their
  follicular unit transplantation technique,
  contributing the term "follicular unit" to the
  nomenclature
•    2002 - Rassman and Bernstein describe FUE as
  a surgical technique in medical literature

Hair

• Hair varies among the different ethnic groups and
  among singular individuals. It has two separate
  structures the follicle in the skin and the hair
  shaft, which is visible on the body surface.
  There are various hair types.
• The majority of hair shafts emerge from the
  scalp as single-4 hair groupings . The groupings
  are the visible superficial portion of the
  follicular unit (FU). The FU generally consists
  of one to four terminal hair follicles and one
  vellus follicles.
