What is the Lateral Slit Technique?
The Hasson & Wong Lateral Slit Technique is a method of creating recipient site incisions that allows for far more accurate control of hair graft angulation and direction. In addition, the coverage of bald scalp is increased on average by two hundred percent. When closely examined the transplanted hair will grow in exactly the same orientation as found in nature. Hasson & Wong have also introduced the concept of custom sizing incisions precisely to the size of the follicular unit. These incisions are smaller and greatly reduce trauma to the recipient scalp. Healing times are correspondingly much shorter. Read more about lateral slit technique.
