Body Hair Transplant

A body hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from an area of your body with dense hair growth, typically the chest, back, or scalp sides, to a bald or thinning area on your scalp. This procedure is similar to traditional scalp hair transplants, but it uses hair from outside the scalp.

Causes: Body hair transplants are chosen by individuals experiencing hair loss on the scalp due to various reasons, including:

• Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)
  
• Female pattern baldness
  
• Scarring from injuries or surgeries
  
• Burns
  

History: Body hair transplantation is a relatively new technique compared to traditional scalp hair transplants. It emerged in the early 2000s as a way to address limitations in donor hair availability on the scalp for some patients.

Treatment Solutions: The procedure typically involves two main steps:

• Follicle extraction: Hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
  
• Follicle implantation: Extracted follicles are then implanted into tiny recipient sites created in the balding area.
