Its origins are traced to be found out from Japan in 1930s by Dr. Okuda. At that time, Japanese dermatologists did not use transplant for scalp. They used to transplant eyebrows and eyelashes. This method didn't have initial recognition due to WWII. Later in 1950s, a dermatologist in New York performed a successful hair transplant on a person who was suffering from male pattern baldness. He modified the method given by Japanese dermatologists. After this for thirty years, there was a huge advancement in filed of transplantation. After development of follicular unit transplant in late 1990s, transplantation became a practical option for bald people. When follicular unit transplant was emerged, it became the most painless method of hair restoration.

Before transplanting them, surgeon will make circular small cuts of one millimeter on recipient area with a hollow needle.
Patients who go through transplantation are required to take care of their treated scalp. It is recommended to change the wound dressing daily.
