The process of body hair transplant (BHT) is the process that involves the transfer of hair grafts that are found in any of the body to the area of recipient. It is the most suitable procedure for facial hair transplantation, such as moustache, Beard, Eyebrows reconstruction or in certain cases the accidental and burnt marks, mostly on the beard, moustache or the eyebrows that can diminish a person's appearance and beauty. The transplanted hair develops naturally and conceals the imperfections visually. Hairs can be removed from the abdomen, armpits or chest or any other part of the body.

​

The hair of the body may be transferred to regions of the scalp if one has a low amount of donor hair, i.e., the sides and the back of the scalp contain little hairs, so extractions aren't feasible to the extent that you would expect hair transplants.

Hair transplants for the body on the scalp are not preferred and are recommended in rare instances only if the patient does not have enough hair on the scalp from donors for hair transplantation. In certain cases, such as Alopecia areata or skin conditions burned or accidental instances in which the patient loses hair, even from the sides and back of the scalp. This causes the donor supply to be restricted. In such instances doctors and surgeons are forced to remove hair from other areas of the body to satisfy the requirements of the area to be treated.

When the Body to Scalp Hair Transplants are Needed

 

The body hairs are not just transferred to the scalp balding areas, but they are also used to repair donor site scars, where they will improve the coverage. The body hair transplant can be utilized to protect the scars of the donor site also. Dr. Sareen is among the few Surgeons worldwide who have experience and expertise in this field.

 

What is the reason why Body Hair not preferable on the Scalp?

 

The distinctive properties of Hair differ in the different parts of your body

The body hair differs from scalp hair and the less noticeable vellus hair that are more fine and lighter in the color. The hair on the scalp is completely distinct from hair of the body, as it is different in quality, length, and thickness and also the density in hair i.e. it is the amount of hair follicles that are per square inch of skin. The scalp hair typically expands in a range of between 3 to 4 follicular units per hair graft. However, the graft for body hair has one follicular unit which distinguishes the hair's characteristic in the density of their hair as well. This is the primary reason for the limitations on the extraction of body hair to serve the purposes to transplant hair from the scalp.

The identical Growth Pattern, but with a different range of hair growth phases

​

The body hair is growing in the same pattern that hair develops on scalp hair, however with less of an anagen phase and a longer the telogen phase. The anagen phase of the hair that grows on your head can last for a while and the body hair growth phase only lasts for about a month. The shorter growing time prolonged to a dormant (telogen) phase is what explains why the hair on the scalp tends to be longer than other portion of the hair on the body. It is therefore not recommended to use your body hair or scalp hair transplantation since it is different in length characteristic and is not suitable until you have a compelling necessity for it in a few specific instances of not enough hair on the scalp that is a donor.

Scalp to Body Hair Transplant

The procedure of body hair transplantation (BHT) by using scalp hair is typically done to restore the abdomen and chest hair, and can also be applied to pubic hair, axilla, and any other location in which hair is required for its thickness and development of hair where there isn't any. In certain situations where maximum density is needed this second method of BHT may also be carried out to satisfy the aesthetic requirements of restoring body hair.

A lengthening of different lengths

Hair transplants for the body are not recommended, specifically for hair transplants to the scalp because the hair roots of the body differ in lengthening times, and may take more than 60 days to get the length within 1 inch. The hair on the scalp only requires 50-60 days required to reach the length of one inch, while the beard hair requires 5-6 months to grow in a single inch. Chest hair is all different, taking all of a year to grow within a one inch. Therefore, when the body hair is transplanted onto the scalp area, it does not look attractive and is considered to be at best preferable in the event of a sufficient donor source of the hair on the scalp.

​

It is the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is employed for Body Hair Transplant

​

The FUE method used in body hair transplants. This involves the use of punching machines to remove hair roots. Hair roots are removed randomly, as each punch needs an aesthetic distance to allow for the next round of punching. The FUE is suitable only for body hair transplants since there is no need of strip-off option. The other aspect that is associated with body hair transplants is the restrictions on hair root extraction and the small quantity of body hairs that isn't enough to cover the specific degree of scalp hair loss.
