A rapid micrograft implantation technique.
OBJECTIVE
A rapid and simple method for the implantation of micrografts is presented.


METHODS
A 14-gauge needle is used to deliver the micrograft to the recipient hole created by the needle. Jeweler's forceps are used to seat the graft once it is in place.


RESULTS
The needle-guided implantation technique described here is a fast and effective method for insertion of one- or two-hair grafts at the frontal hairline or over extensive areas of hair loss.


CONCLUSIONS
The technique described can be readily learned and produces excellent cosmetic results.
