I am a victim of androgenic Alopecia. Its been 3 years since i have seen myself with hair. Planning for a HT in a year. I have heard that body hair transplantation to head is being done in a few cases. So, how successful is that? And can i go for it rather than going for FUE or FUT?
Answer: If you think you're a victim of alopecia, don't be a victim of FUE or FUT If you keep your hair buzzed, a hair transplant surgery will look crappy. Hair transplant surgery is basically rearranging your hair. FUE or FUT is just a method of harvest. Neograft, ARTAS, SAFE system, drills, etc are instruments.Body hair can be used but for every body hair you remove, you'll have a scar (about 1mm in diameter)

Answer: Body Hair to Head Transplantation Body hair is certainly capable of thriving long term on the scalp and actually flourishes in the presence of DHT. Successful growth, however, will depend on the use of the right advanced FUE extraction technology to avoid damaging the grafts. Body hair grows at sharper angles and these donor regions are more exposed, requiring higher wound healing standards. FUT cannot be done on the body and also will leave a permanent linear scar on your scalp. Regular FUE punches are best for straight scalp hair, but not the angles of body hair. The Dr.UGraft Advanced Hair Transplant System, featuring the Intelligent Punch, enables the extraction of viable, quality grafts from all hair locations while leaving a minimized wound footprint.

Answer: Body hair transplantation Body hair is a potential donor area for hair transplantation, but should generally be used as more of a last resort. The donor areas on the back and sides of the scalp are much better options when it comes to hair color, texture, and availability, and these should be the first line options for donor areas.Be sure to see a hair transplantation expert. All the best,

Answer: Body hairs can transplant to increase the density Body hairs are an option for hairtranspant. But the success rates with body hairtransplant (beard,chest,shoulder) is not the same in compare donor area on the temporal-parietal and occipital part. Body hairs can transplant to increase the density on the middle –vertex part or behind the frontline.

Answer: Body Hair Transplantation to Head The best donor source for transplanting scalp hair is the scalp. It has the same curl, color, thickness, and other characteristics making it the ideal first choice after natural regrowth with medication. Neck beard hair is a reasonable option once donor supply has been exhausted from the scalp if it is similar enough to scalp hair to easily blend in. In your case, your beard matches your scalp in color but due to your haircut and photo detail, curl and thickness are unable to be determined. I advise focusing on managing your current loss by visiting with a hair restoration surgeon, initiating medical (medication) management, and, based on your current hairstyle, consider scalp micropigmentation (tattoo) as a third (non-surgical) option to increase apparent follicle density.
