Hair Transplantation has come a long way since it
began in the early 1950s. Thanks to numerous technological advances, what was
once fueled by superstition and old wives tales has slowly been replaced with
scientific progression. The “corn row” or “doll’s hair” look that was
previously associated with hair transplantation has evolved into modern-day
follicular unit procedures with robotic assistance and non-surgical
alternatives including Laser Hair Therapy and even more recently PRP, or Platelet
Rich Plasma therapy.
In the early 50s, Dr. Norman Orentreich began to
experiment with the idea of relocating hair on the back and sides of the head
to areas of thinning hair or balding. Dr. Orentreich’s experiments showed that healthy hair that is harvested from the back and sides of the scalp that is transplanted to balding areas of the top of the head will continue to grow as if it were still in its original location. This “Donor
Dominance” principle laid the foundation for modern hair transplantation.
During the 60s and 70s, hair transplants grew in
popularity. Surgical techniques began to change with the use of large grafts
known as “plugs” that were removed by round punches.
Mini-grafting, the use of small grafts cut from a
strip of donor tissue was introduced in 1984. Combinations of mini and micro-grafts created fullness and density and softened the frontal hairline. Procedures that used larger grafts in the center
of the patient’s scalp with smaller grafts around them to make their results
look more natural were called Mini-Micro Grafting.
The introduction of Follicular
Unit Transplantation (FUT) by Drs. Bernstein and Rassman in 1995 increased the
skills required by the surgeon and staff performing the hair transplant. During Follicular Unit Transplantation,
stereo-microscopic graft dissection is used to transplant a patient’s hair in
its naturally occurring groups. By the year 2000, FUT was considered the “gold standard” of surgical hair
restoration.
Today, some of the leading hair restoration surgeons
perform an ultra-refined follicular unit hair transplant procedure, using
extremely tiny incisions that allow them to “tightly pack” tiny grafts when
it’s necessary. This ultra-refined follicular unit procedure allows patients to
achieve their desired density in a given area of their scalp in only one
surgical session. PAI Medical Group is proud to offer Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™, producing natural appearing results that are age and gender specific.
PAI Medical Group Indiana is also proud to offer the ARTAS Robotic FUE Procedure, a seemingly futuristic, minimally invasive hair
transplantation solution that leverages digital imaging and precision robotics
to harvest healthy grafts for transplantation. Unlike previous methods, there
is no need for the surgical removal of a strip of the scalp, no linear scar
left after the procedure and no need for stitches or staples to close the
wound. The benefit is a tremendously fast recovery time and the ability to
return to normal activities and work sooner.

years, our dedication towards restoring your confidence and ensuring your
comfort throughout the hair restoration process has never wavered. At PAIMedical Group Indiana, we’re here to help you. If you are suffering the effects of hair loss and need a solution
