Development history of hair transplantation
The first medical report on improving baldness by autologous hair transplantation was found in the medical paper written by Wurzburg Diefenba in 1823, and Norman Orantreich reported in 1959 that 4mm round transplanted embryos were successfully used for hair transplantation, which made the hair transplantation technology to improve the appearance of baldness fully enter the clinic.

According to scientific research, hair in this area is called "permanent" hair. Hair follicle transplantation is to take out a part of hair follicles in this area and transplant them to bald areas or other parts of the body to grow healthy and normal hair. The transplanted hair retains all the physiological characteristics of the original hair.

The founder of hair transplantation was a Japanese doctor, Okuda. He transplanted skin including hair follicles into the back of a burn patient's head, and as a result, new hair unexpectedly grew at the transplanted site. After that, HajimeTamuna successfully transplanted 1-2 hair follicles for female patients with hairless genitalia, and made detailed records. At that time, because he was in the middle of World War II, his research results did not get the attention of the world medical community.

1960, American cosmetic surgeon Orentreich described the perforation transplantation, published the principle and surgical method of modern hair transplantation for the first time in the west, and pointed out that the advantage of transplantation donor area is that the transplanted embryo (retrooccipital hair follicle) still maintains its continuous growth characteristics when it is transferred to other parts. A hair transplant suitable for treating male baldness was created. This "permanent" hair follicle redistribution, scalp relaxation and flap transfer are the basis of all hair replacement operations. In this way, modern records about hair transplantation have a history of at least 50 years. Autologous hair transplantation and regeneration surgery has become a safe and reliable cosmetic surgery method, which can fundamentally solve the problems of baldness and alopecia.

After entering the 1990s, the transplantation of several small hair follicle units not only greatly improved the survival rate of transplanted hair, but also made the transplanted hair grow naturally. This new transplantation method, which combines Microsraft and Minigragt, has been widely popularized, and hair transplantation has entered a new stage.

There are Ford and FUE hair transplant techniques used in China. Let's compare the differences between the following techniques in preoperative detection, hair removal area, hair removal method and hair transplantation method.
