Abstract
A human hair implant procedure involves inserting a length of barbed surgical thread through a cannula so that a first portion including a distal end of the barbed surgical thread is near a distal end of the cannula and a second portion is outside the proximal end of the cannula, then inserting the distal end of the cannula through an entry point of the skin of the human and advancing the cannula under the skin until the proximal end of the cannula is near the entry point of the skin. Then, removing the cannula from under the skin, leaving in position under the skin the first portion of barbed surgical thread which secures a hold to tissue under the skin, and finally, attaching hair to the second portion of barbed surgical thread.
