What is Body Hair Transplant?

For those with total baldness, the traditional method of using donor follicles from the back of the scalp is not an option. Body hair transplant (BHT) is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are excised from other parts of the body and transplanted into areas of the scalp with hair loss.

The Body hair transplant procedure involves selecting donor areas on the body, such as the chest, armpits, back, or legs, from which hair follicles will be extracted using a technique called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The extracted hair follicles are then prepared for transplantation and carefully inserted into the recipient areas of the scalp using tiny incisions. To achieve the texture and the appearance of scalp hair, a surgeon who specializes in BHT may blend follicles from different areas of the body in a natural growth pattern on the scalp.

What are the benefits of Body Hair Transplant?

For our patients in Washington, D.C. Body hair transplant can provide long-lasting, natural results for patients who do not have any scalp hair available to transplant. However, this specialized procedure should only be performed by a surgeon with experience performing BHT. Experienced providers like the surgeons at Scandinavian Hair Institute know how to select the best follicles for transplant and create excellent results that look like natural hair growth. In the hands of an inexperienced hair transplant surgeon, BHT may not provide the authentic texture, fullness, and hairline the patient is seeking. We take time to analyze your case and plan a procedure that gives you the high-quality results you are seeking.

Your Body Hair Transplant Procedure

Your surgeon will begin the process of collecting donor follicles for Body Hair Transplant by thoroughly numbing the donor area using a local anesthetic. They will then use the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique to excise healthy follicles for transplant. Next, they will numb the treatment area before transplanting the follicles into a set of tiny incisions placed to replicate your scalp hair’s natural growth pattern. Our surgeons take time planning your procedure and work meticulously to create authentic results with a high rate of success.

Within a week or two, patients can usually return to work and resume their normal activities. The transplanted hair will begin to shed within the first few weeks after surgery—this is a normal part of the process! The new hair will begin to grow in a few months later, and patients can expect to see full results within nine to fourteen months.
