How to Have a Body Hair Transplant to cover male pattern baldness

If you have less hair on back of the scalp that can be used for transplant then body hair has be used to increase the density of hair. The success of the body hair transplant from chest, beard and shoulder is not the same as the occipitalpart. One of the commonhair issues that men suffer are male pattern baldness.

When men suffer from male pattern hair loss they have two options which are FDA approved one is finasteride and the other is Rogaine which is a topical treatment. Rogaine is said to improve the scalp in patients that have diffuse hair loss in the crown area by prolonging the growth circle of the hair follicle. Finasteride reduces the dihydrotestosterone and helps hair that is thinning to become thicker.

Different Types of body hair transplant procedures

There are two different procedures for transplanting body hair to the scalp to cover the baldness and body hair transplantation of the hair to the chest, pubic region and other areas where more hair is desired. In most hair transplant cases donor hair is used from the scalp. Many patients use body hairs to increase the density of hair on the scalp.

Hair from the body can be used for additional hair transplants if the hair from the scalp is already used in transplants and there are no available scalp hairs for transplants. When hair from any part of the body is transplanted into the scalp it takes the characteristics of the scalp hair as well as the texture.

Body Hair Transplant to treat male pattern hair loss

Transplanting body hair to the scalp for male pattern hair loss can be a challenging task. The best areas for donor hairs are the beard, chest and back. In a single procedure 500 to 4000 hairs can be extracted in a day or two. The grafts containing one or two hairs from the body are cautiously extracted by using specialized FUE technique.

As chest is a sensitive area many patients like the hair from the chest to be grafted under twilight sedation in the presence of an anesthetist/anesthesiologist. After extraction these grafts have to be treated further to remove extra fat and or skin for best anesthetic results.

These grafts are then transplanted into the scalp in carefully preparedrecipient sites. They may also be transplanted into old donor sites scars to make them less visible.

Beard Transplantation

Beard transplantation is restoration of beard hair and transplanting in the scalp using Follicular Unit Extraction. Beard transplant is also referred to the reconstruction of a beard. For beard transplants the doctor grafts hair from the scalp in the area of the beard as required on case to case bases. Transplanting hair from the scalp to the beard is not used by many clinics and is referred to a fringe procedure.

In most of the cases the doctor removes hair from the back of the scalp which is known as the donor area and transplants it to wherever needed. Hair from the back of the scalp is resistant to hair loss and strong enough to withstand transplant.
