Body Hair Transplant

Transplantation of body hair upon the scalp is often used to treat extensive cases of baldness where the donor scalp is itself poor, and is devoid of abundant hair. The chest, abdomen, arms, thighs are the most preferred areas of hair follicle extraction for their final transplantation on the patient’s scalp. In this aspect, it will not be an exaggeration to call BHT as a revolutionary procedure, because it appears as a boon to the patients with no donor area, weak donor area or who is not willing to undergo FUT or FUE procedures. Thus, BHT includes body hair extraction, harvesting and then implantation. BHT involves 0.1% bleeding and 99.99% low and minimal scars.

BHT is done after the administration of local anesthesia (in spite of being a day care procedure), as it involves a lot of expertise, time and skills. One can go for unlimited hair for transplantation. At our centre, we always have skilled and well trained professionals for carrying out the procedures.

In fact, there are more than 1 million hairs on an average human body while the head region contains only one hundred thousand hairs. Person having major loss of Class 7 (almost 75,000 out of 1, 00,000 hairs may be lost) may not have enough donor hairs at the lateral and posterior sides of the head. This situation can be effectively handled by body hair transplantation.

Body hair transplant has its own advantages as it can be effectively used to treat major cases of male pattern baldness. It is especially valuable when scalp donor region is exhausted or limited to minimal evidence of scarring. It can also prove to be a better choice for eyebrow reconstruction where one can have better matching hair than the fast growing scalp hair.

Body hairs are also not very strong shafted, and thus create hindrances during extraction.

All body hairs are not of very good quality; some may take a long time to grow, and some may not even grow long and thick enough. This may leave pigmented and/ or hypo-pigmented marks in donor site especially in dark skin.Please contact us for more information.
