Hair transplant surgery was introduced in the United States by Dr. Norman Orentreich in 1959. He showed that hair taken from the permanent zone in the back of the scalp would continue to grow even if transplanted to the balding area in the top of the head. This characteristic of hair, which he called “donor dominance,” is the basis for all hair transplants.
Hair Transplant surgery was revolutionized in 1995 with the publication of Dr. Robert Bernstein’s landmark paper “Follicular Transplantation”. In it, he asserted that hair should be transplanted exclusively in its naturally occurring groups called follicular units, in order to achieve the most natural results. This idea, together with the extensive micro-grafting methods of Dr. William Rassman and the stereomicroscope, brought about the procedure, Follicular Unit Transplantation that is used today by physicians around the globe.
