A method of implanting artificial hairs in human tissue is disclosed. An artificial hair has a root at one end which is set under the epidermis with a needle means. The needle means has its point shaped for holding an artificial hair at the neck of the root. The root is thrust into an upper region of the hypodermal layer with the needle means. Withdrawing the needle means leaves the root in position, with its tip end turned back, thus permitting the hair to be firmly implanted.
The present invention provides a dilator/hair implanter device comprising a wedge-shaped hollow body, said body having one end for engageably penetrating the scalp of a patient and wherein said body contains hair grafts for implantation into the scalp of said patient. Further provided is a dilator/hair implanter device comprising a body having at least two parts, said body having one end for engageably penetrating the scalp of a patient and wherein said body contains hair grafts for implantation into the scalp of said patient. Also provided are various methods of transplanting hair.

A method and apparatus for artificially implanting hair in human skin tissue is disclosed wherein a strand of hair is folded upon itself to define a pair of strands joined together by a U-shaped bend at which an enlarged anchor element is provided to be implanted in the skin with the strand of hair exposed above the surface. The apparatus includes a plurality of needles carried in a side-by-side relationship on a base member each needle having an interior bore in which the anchor element is held with the hair strands held by a hair clamp on the enterior of the needle. The needle is inserted into the skin and the anchor is dislodged therefrom whereupon withdrawal of the needle leaves the anchor implanted with the hair strands exposed above the skin surface.
A method of implanting hair into skin tissue comprising the steps of forming an open loop on the end of a hair; passing the open hair loop over the tip of a needle and into hooked engagement within a notch formed in the needle periphery; inserting the needle and hair loop hooked thereto into skin tissue; releasing the hooked hair loop from the needle; and extracting the needle from the skin tissue.
A method for prosthetic implantation which is effective to provide for a partial or total prosthetic implant of hairs, and which utilizes at least one natural hair which is terminated with a pseudo-bulb or loop intended for insertion into the subcutaneous region of the scalp, wherein the looped pseudo-bulb exhibits elasto-rigid properties.
