Background Hair transplantation is a continuously evolving era towards a more natural style and micrografting in greater quantities is becoming an unmistakable trend. Objective A rapid, simple method to make a micrograft implanter with low cost and a case of total micrografting using this new hair implanter are presented. Methods A rapid, simple method to make a micrograft implanter with low cost and a case of total micrografting using this new hair implanter are presented. Methods: We devised a simple method to make a micrograft hair implanter using a spinal tapping needle and did total micrografting with this device 3 times on 1 patient. Results Cosmetically, hair transplantation using our device produces hair that is slightly less dense in a normal individual. However, our technique gives a good balance in distribution of hair with no scarring which contribute to a natural style appearance. Conclusions Total Micrografting with our new implanter produces a natural appearance without the artificial look and scars typical of the minigrafts or punch grafts in Koreans. So we consider this device as a another alternative device in hair transplantation.
