Body hair Transplant

Body Hair Transplantation (BHT) involves a specialized method where hair from different body parts like the chest, back, arms, or legs is used to regrow hair on the scalp or other areas. At Folliderm, our expert surgeons have perfected the art of BHT, providing a viable solution for individuals with limited scalp donor hair and helping them achieve their desired look.

Conditions

Who is a candidate for Body Hair Transplantation?

  • Individuals with insufficient scalp donor hair who require additional grafts for hair restoration
  • Patients seeking to enhance density in areas where traditional scalp hair grafts may be limited
  • People who have undergone previous hair transplant procedures but still desire more density
  • Individuals looking to restore hair in areas such as the beard, chest, or eyebrows using body hair.

Body Hair Transplantation involves the extraction of hair follicles from different parts of the body, typically using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. This technique allows for the harvesting of individual hair follicles with minimal scarring and is ideal for areas where the scalp donor hair is insufficient.

The characteristics of body hair, such as texture, curl, and growth cycle, can vary significantly from scalp hair. Therefore, selecting the right donor site and understanding these variations is crucial to achieving natural-looking results. At Folliderm, our experienced surgeons meticulously plan and execute each procedure, ensuring that the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the existing hair in terms of appearance and growth patterns.

It is important to remember that while body hair can be used as an alternative when there is limited donor hair on the scalp, not all body hair is suitable for transplantation. It is essential to have a detailed consultation in order to determine the most suitable approach.
