The hair transplant profession dates back to the early 20th century, when surgeons began experimenting with hair restoration techniques for patients suffering from baldness. The first attempts at hair transplantation were quite simple and often did not give long-term results. However, in the 1950s, Dr. Norman Orentreich developed a method of hair transplantation that became the basis for modern techniques. This breakthrough made it possible to create a more natural look and opened up new possibilities in the treatment of baldness.
