I really can not answer your question properly. First, I have not examined you so I can not confirm what you are reporting. Second, if you are losing your donor hair, then you probably have some condition that is not genetic patterned balding. Do you have diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA)? It’s not usual to have […]

Leg hairs do look similar to eyebrow hairs and can grow to about the same length, so it may be an option. The major problem with leg hair is the length of the telogen portion of the hair growth cycle. The telogen component (the period where the hairs are not growing above the skin and […]
My trip to Antarctica was interesting, to say the least. Lots of penguins of all sizes and colors, a few seals and whales, and some very nice scenery. There were long periods at sea, so I sat down with a good set of books on my Kindle and filled the days well. As for body […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest at the NY Times — A New Approach to Treating Hair Loss The article is about Dr. Sanusi Umar’s amazing work as a pioneer in body hair transplants (BHT). He has privately reported procedures of 10,000 grafts in one sitting using body hair. These procedures are done through […]
At NHI, we do not perform beard hair transplants to the scalp unless the donor supply is depleted. We therefore do not endorse this treatment. Another way to put it is, we do not recommend surgery that we would not want done on ourselves. I realize there are other doctors and clinics that advertise and […]
We do not generally recommend beard hair as a donor supply for transplanting to the scalp unless the donor supply in the back of the head is badly depleted. I realize there are doctors who specialize or advertise in these type of procedures, but it is something we do not recommend. What is making your […]
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 […]
That’s a good question. Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer for sure. On the scalp, I have seen patients with great (practically unnoticeable) FUE scars, as well as some not-so-great FUE scars. Of the few patients I’ve seen that had follicular unit extraction using beard hair, I’d agree that the FUE scars have been less […]
I have seen some good results reported from body hair transplants (BHT) so there may be instances where it could be an option, but I don’t generally recommend it due to the variability in texture and growth cycle. I’ve previously written about using scalp and body hair together in transplantation, and remain neutral. My opinion […]
Why would you bother with body hair transplants (BHT) when you can use your scalp hair? Body hair tends to be texturally different. If you truly want a stubble look with real hair, using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) with scalp hair extracted with FUE is a good way to accomplish this. On the flip side, patients […]
I have done several beard to hair transplants and they are relatively easy, but I really don’t know if the beard contains 7600 movable grafts. Is it possible? I suppose. Some people may have very high density hair in their beard.
Body hair transplants are possible, but the texture of the hair will be different and arm/leg hair doesn’t grow to the same length as scalp hair. So while it is possible, the results aren’t as natural looking in my opinion. Person to person transplants are also possible with anti-rejection medication, but the health risks from […]
If pubic hair were transplanted to the head, it would grow and be very curly. I actually performed a pubic hair transplant to a patient. The pubic hair was mixed in with scalp hair and placed into the crown in a person who had a very limited donor area. It worked well. I have also […]
“Donor recharging” is an interesting term I have not heard before. I do not buy into recharging the donor area from the scalp with hair from the body. I am just not convinced that the quality of the body hair will make for a good substitute for the donor hair that has been transplanted earlier. […]
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 […]
