What happens here

Following the follicle extraction, the recipient area of the scalp (the forehead/hairline) is numbed with local anesthesia. The feeling of numbing is compared to wearing a brimmed hat that makes touching the forehead feel distant and fake. Technicians then create 1500 tiny incisions (corresponding to the number of extracted grafts) where the new hair will be planted. Both technicians work simultaneously, implanting each sorted graft into its designated incision. The entire process, from extraction to implantation, started at 7:30 AM and concluded by 2:30 PM.

Goal: After extraction, the recipient area of the scalp is numbed again, small incisions are made, and the sorted hair follicles are individually implanted into these incisions.

What they say

Hide

a natural look I fell asleep very quickly and I was probably maybe awake for only 30 minutes now the technician started poking holes the same 1500 holes where they'll be planting all those follicles into place of course they numb me up as well and I felt nothing the numbing actually feels like as if you have a brim hat and whenever they touch the forehead it feels so distant and so far and so fake thank God for local anesthesia airpods in listed a book on Genghis Khan by the way wild wild story and at this point both the technicians are Off to the Races like as a NASCAR pit crew one is working on one side the others work on the other side and they're planting each graph into each of the holes they just bored out we start at 7 30 we were done by 2 30. play some
