Abstract
Steel pins are used to stabilize hair transplants by preventing transplanted plugs from becoming elevated, depressed or turned in the wrong direction. The pinning procedure is less traumatic to hair follicles than is tight bandaging and bleeding is more easily controlled. Patients so treated have improved final appearances. The authors' technique of using steel pins is described.Keywords
