ABSTRACT:
A method of treating baldness by securing hair fibers to a person's scalp is disclosed. A base filament is implanted into an incision in a subcutaneous layer of a scalp. A plurality of monofilament anchors extend perpendicularly from the base filament. With a length sufficient to span the dermis and epidermis, the anchor filaments terminate in an eyelet with the tip of the eyelet exposed at the surface of the scalp. Hair fibers are attached to the anchor filaments by threading hair filaments through the eyelets at the scalp surface.
