The chart below shows that the scalp hair has the longest growth cycle of any hair on the body. That makes it the best hair for hair transplant. Beard comes in as a close second, but may not last as long for a growth cycle. Chest and hair on your back are very poor with […]

Leg hair has a different hair cycle than head hair. Some body hair has 70% of its life cycle in telogen (sleep) and does not appear on the recipient area transplanted therefore but 30% of the time. So a successful eyebrow transplant with body hair, will keep to its growth cycle. It will disappoint the […]
Snippet from the article at MSNBC: Read the full text — Hair here, then there: Odd transplants take root I guess it is still news that hair from the scalp can be transplanted to any part of the body, but we’ve been doing this for many years. There are some examples of transplanted eyebrows and […]
I believe Dr. Robert True in New York does body hair transplants (BHT). I am generally not an advocate of BHT (see I Want Body Hair Transplants for my reasoning).
This man has a heavy distribution of hair on his body. Fortunately, he has no balding at this time. Can this man use all of this hair for hair transplants? The hair thickness of body hair is about 20-25 microns, while the hair of the scalp ranges from fine (25-45 microns), medium 45-60 (microns), and […]
I’ve been reading about the history of hair transplants recently and I’m baffled by how in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and at least early 90s getting those awful plug procedures were the norm. I’ve also read that in Japan they started experimenting with hair transplant techniques in the 1930s and 40s, and one pioneer […]
So I’ve tried finasteride and minoxidil the past years but both substances had side effects for me. I also want to clarify that I still fully recommend these products. I was just unlucky because they weren’t compatible with my body chemistry, but I recovered from the side effects as soon as I quit the drug. […]
This man developed keloids or extreme hypertrophic raised scars possibly from some infection on his chest hairs or some injury like a burn. This is highly unusual in a Caucasian. Nevertheless, there are treatments for this which he will need to seek out. Doctors who perform hair transplants must be aware of the keloid or […]
Anybody considering a hair transplant must have a Personalized Master Plan because balding is progressive. You must know your donor supply, your hair mass index and these two factors will tell you a great deal about your ability to keep up with the balding and not run out of hairs to move around. A good […]
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9989033/Italian-man-mysteriously-dies-heart-attack-hair-transplant-operation-Turkey.html I hope that when his body is home, that the cause of death will be identified. It is easy to call it a heart attack, when it could have been something else. There have been other deaths during hair transplants, one in Los Angeles was due to an overdose of an anesthetic drug, for […]
I had a horrible experience with biofiber hair transplants since 2 years and since that say I didn’t have one day without pimples and small abscess , I had traveled 2 times and lost too much money with no benefits. I searched everywhere to find someone Can remove it and even the part inside the […]
Yes, it can be done but should you do it? Body hair has a very short growth cycle, usually between six to eight months, which means that it not only will look like your body hair but it will be short (no more than one inch). That does not give you either bulk or length which […]
What is important to note, is that the top patient had wonderful medium weight hair and had a good shape and body to it while the bottom patient had super fine hair. We solve the see-through look with Scalp Micropigmentation
I agree he got a really good result so if he went to a different surgeon maybe he would get a bad result. So if he had a bad result, would it be because of the surgeon’s crappy artistic skills? or the patients hair quality? or is it because of the technicians that plant the […]
I had my fourth FUT around 11 months ago and I’ve seen zero improvement. Shock loss kicked in 3 months after the surgery and hasn’t stopped ever since. All kinds of hair (native/transplanted/vellus) are shedding. My body can’t tolerate finasteride so I bought a laser helmet which I’ve been using for 3 and a half […]
