Body Hair Transplant
Body Hair Transplant (BHT) uses hair follicles from areas like the chest, back, arms, or beard to supplement scalp donor hair. This technique is particularly useful for patients with limited scalp donor supply or those needing additional grafts for coverage. Body hair has different characteristics and is typically used to add density.

Can body hair be used for head transplants?
Yes, hair from the chest, back, beard, or other areas can supplement scalp donor hair, especially for patients with limited scalp donor supply.
Does body hair look natural on the scalp?
Body hair has different characteristics than scalp hair and is typically used to add density rather than create hairlines. Skilled surgeons blend it naturally.
What areas can donate hair?
Common donor areas include the chest, back, beard, and arms. The beard often provides the best match for scalp hair characteristics.
