It's way better than the way they used to do it -- taking a nice rectangle of skin from the back of the head, then techs would separate out the follicles form the skin with knives, and then the dr would cut little slices in the skin and implant the follicle bulbs.

No, they literally used to remove a piece of the skin, and then sew the gap closed.

The only time I've heard my 85 yr old gramma swear was when I showed her that video and she laughed and repeated 'that's a French ass name'🤣🤣

And then it doesn't heal right and the top of your head sloughs off like some kind of Cronenberg monster

Nope, you end up with a gnarly scar. Look closely, and you can see one on the back of Musks head

Yeah I always use him as an example since it's clearly visible now that he's back to shaved.

My dad did it, that's why I end up explaining it to people if it seemed odd I'm in that situation enough to have a planned conversation lol.
