Body hair transplants work, but the body hair has a short growth cycle. This means that for every 10 hairs that are transplanted, they will cycle about every 6-8 months meaning that only half of the hairs are growing at any one time as the sleep (telogen cycle) is also long. If you don’t have […]

It is more than possible as many people have this done. The problem is the growth cycle of body hair which is about 6 months and the telogen cycle is 6 months. That means that if you are transplanting 100 hairs, only 50 will be growing at any one time. Because of the short hair […]
How long does it take for body hair transplant to grow? It is now six months and on the part of my head where scalp hair transplants were placed there is very good growth but the part of my head where 500 body hairs were placed, only about 10 hairs grew. The growth from body hair […]
Body hair transplants don’t have the staying power as you get older and drop your DHT levels as body hair is dependent upon DHT for growth. This also applies to beard hair as well. That is why some men who take DHT blockers like finasteride or dustasteride lose their body hair over time and some […]
At NHI, we do not recommend body hair transplants (BHT), as the results are highly variable and unpredictable. We do have patients in our Photo Galleries that were Norwood 7 and had great hair transplant results from using scalp hair, but I must point out to the readers curious about hair restoration that every patient […]
Body hair transplants (BHT) are not considered a standard method of hair transplantation and may not give you a normal amount of bulk. I realize some doctors perform BHT with success (depending on how you define it), but the visual appearance of the hair that grows is clearly not normal. Body hair simply does not […]
I personally do not believe in performing body hair transplants and have written about the problems with this type of procedure many, many times. The body hair transplant results that I’ve seen in person were not flattering, but these do look good. I can be a skeptic at times and if it sounds too good […]
Body hair transplantation is not a gold standard method to transplant hair to the scalp, because body hair looks and behaves different than scalp hair. Damage isn’t the problem — hair growth cycles are. Only about 50% of the body hair is in growth stage at any one time, so the hair-for-hair yield is 50% […]
I have discussed body hair transplants before (see posts about BHT). I would want to know why you felt that body hair was better than scalp hair. The growth success reflects the growth cycle and the sleep cycle of body and leg hairs such that far less than 90% growth occurs at any one time. […]
I know how you feel. You just want to be normal again. The problem is that when you have had these old type of hair transplants, you may have given up the ability to be completely normal. Keeping your hair longer and use styling to augment any problems in your look may be critical to […]
Thank you for the faith that you expressed in my skills. To answer the first part of your email about DHI, please take a look at FUE / FIT — Minimally Invasive Hair Transplants. It sounds like although you did your research, the “Buyer Beware” axiom still failed even after considerable research. If you are […]
Chest hairs and pubic hairs can be harvested for hair transplantation. However, you must realize that body hairs are not ideal for transplants because they tend to be shorter than hairs from your scalp, there are not many of them despite the sense that a very hairy chest is hairy by density, and these hairs […]
Hair can be transplanted from most parts of the body to other parts of the body. Some of the best work in this area was done by a Dr. Kim from Korea, who transplanted head hair to his leg as part of his PhD project where he tried to get more than one hair from […]
Body hair is being transplanted by a few doctors, but there has not been any real follow-up on the results. The few that I have seen did not meet my standards on density or quality so I have not jumped on board to do body hair transplants. FUE is possible from your remaining donor area, […]
The crown isn’t a styling area, mostly just need the look of fullness over there. It’s common just to get that area micropigmentation. So why not just use some body hair to fill it in? I know there’s a reason why, otherwise it would be done more. But what is it? Body hair donor sites […]
