GuyManDude Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 In a recent meeting with a doctor I had explained to me that using an injection needle is used instead of the traditional tool for creating graft incisions when performing dense pack sessions. The reasoning was to avoid damaging existing hairs. Can anyone confirm this is true or just marketing on the doctors part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dakota3 Posted February 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2010 Sounds like it would make sense. The smaller the needle the less chance for transecting in dense packing it would seem. Care to share who this doctor is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted February 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes needles are used. However, blades are also used in dense packing. And it was my understanding that the blades are able to produce more densely packed slits and thus allow for more densely packed graft implants. (Unless of course, this needle is newer technology that is smaller than the blades) Jotronic has posted a wonderful video of this showing the comparison between needles and blades. The entire exercise was done on a melon. take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
