Abstract
A novel and simple approach to single hair follicle transplantation for alopecia is a hair threaded on a curved needle with the follicle attached. It is the best aesthetically acceptable procedure in certain areas, namely the eyebrow, the sideburn, the hair margin, areas requiring precise grafting following face lift procedures, and the eyelash. The presented technique simplifies the precise, oriented placement of single hair grafts and has been time-tested by the senior author for the last 20 years.
