He states he invented the follicular unit 15 years before others.
QUOTE "In the early 90's (prior to any other doctor), Dr. Larry Shapiro noticed that cutting the hair into their natural bundles or groups (either 1 hair, two hairs or three hairs) was the most natural way to place these back in the head. Then with the special blades that Dr. Shapiro developed he was able to take these bundles or follicular units and place them back in the scalp for a natural appearance. It is only recently that other doctors (15 years later no less!) started using the term "follicullar unit" and of course trying to take credit for something that he has been doing since 1990."
