A method of treating baldness is disclosed which includes the implantation of strands of natural or artificial hair beneath the scalp and into the subcutaneous tissue. The method contemplates pre-forming the strands of hair into a U-shaped loop which can be implaced beneath the scalp by means of a penetration instrument in an arcuate or concave configuration with respect to the scalp for improved retention properties. Apparatus is also disclosed for carrying out the method which will facilitate engaging and implanting the hair in the manner just described and which is also capable of readily disengaging the hair from the penetration instrument for removal of the instrument and which is further capable of injecting tissue adhesives and hemostatic agents into the tissue surrounding the hair to stabilize it and assist the healing and anchoring process. It is also possible to perform the method of this invention without pre-forming the strand except to the extent that it is formed when placed on the penetration instrument.
