Can body hair be used for a hair transplant to fill my beard?

Mateo28
Hello Doctor: I want to have a beard transplant, but my donor area is limited, because I have already used it in a previous hair transplant, therefore I do not have hair to donate from my head to my beard. I want to know if I can take hair from my armpits to fill my beard. I have noticed that the hair of my armpits like the pubic have the same texture of my beard.
