Many men with premature hair loss do not dispose of sufficient donor areas that could ensure needed results, i.e. hair-covering that would be perfect or at least adequate for the patient’s age. In such cases we can resort to body hair transplant (BTH).
Result of Body Hair Transplantation
The body hair transplant is a special variant of the FUE method in which beard hair and/or body hair can be transplanted into bold areas of the head. Moreover, the observations have shown that the transplanted body hair in time adjusts its structure and length to those of the hair around it, i.e. with the course of time, visual difference between native head hair and transplanted body hair almost disappears. Like in FUE method the body hair units are extracted with help of special hollow needles. Owing to a very small diameter of the hollow needles (0,6 mm) and precise extraction technique, no visible scars are left in the donor area.
The body hair transplant method is also suitable for planting hair into scars that were caused by an accident or a strip hair transplant method. Although the growth rate of the hair transplanted from the body is not as high as that of the hair transplanted by FUE head hair transplant method, it stays within quite satisfactory limits of 60-95 %. The results achieved by beard hair transplant can be as good as those of head hair transplant. Also should be taken into account that ultimate success depends on several factors, such as the healing capacity and conditions of the skin into which the hair is transplanted (skin tissue)
