Hair Transplant Basics
The Dermatologist, Dr. Norman Orentreich, introduced hair transplantation in the United States in the late 1950's. Although the basic concept behind hair transplantation is rather simple, self-proclaimed "experts" have shrouded the field in mystery and these myths have been perpetuated over the years.
The hair growing on the sides and lower part of the back of the head is permanent hair in most people. It persists even in the face of the most extreme degree of Male Pattern Baldness. This permanent hair can be redistributed to cover the areas of the head where the hair has thinned or that have become bald. All hair restoration procedures work through the redistribution of this permanent hair.
