I hope your dad is also conceiving of the powerful acting antibiotics to mop up after the raging infections that such a procedure would cause.

You may or may not recall the procedures done in the '80s where synthetic hair was being sutured into the scalps of unfortunate clients. The results were predictably calamitous.

He believes that at some point it will actually be a cosmetic surgery. You will have a plastic surgeon that simply 'peel' your scalp skin back (like they do for a face lift or other procedures), and the base (like the lace ones here) would actually be placed underneath your skin.

At that point a machine (or a team of specialists) would insert the hair through your skin and into the lace base. The hair would obviously totally appear as though it was growing out of your scalp.

For maintenance you would revisit annually to replace hair that is lost, or even replace the system itself.

He thinks it will be laser tools that make this feasible, as well as the technology to create items that our bodies will not reject immediately.

Who knows? That is much more his field than mine. I can't see it happening next year however. lol
