Transplantation From Body Hair
Does body hair work for hair transplantation?
There are no survival reports or good data on the subject so there is little to report that is reliable. There is one published case with scant data from an unreliable source so I can not feel comfortable about recommending it.
This is an issue that particularly bothers me. Body hair generally grows one at a time, rarely are there two or three “body hair groups” as it is in donor from the head where groupings of one, two, three and even four hair is not uncommon. For those doctors who are offering it, I wonder if the offering is accompanied by “informed consent” documents that reflect the experimental nature of the process. It would seem to me that for those who are considering it, they should first be sure to consult a competent, ethical doctor capable of doing all of the types of follicular unit transplants including FUE / FOX techniques before going any further.
Are there any doctors who can clone donor hairs so that the amount of available donor hairs is no longer an issue with transplants?
Only crooks and some doctors are crooks.
Only dishonest doctors
