FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 25, 2009 --

Body hair transplantation, or BHT, is the transplantation of body hair from various parts of the body and implants them onto an individual’s scalp. Hair follicles are extracted one at a time and transferred to balding areas of the scalp or any other area of need. All body hair can be utilized including those in the back of your chest, back, stomach area, legs, arms, armpit and pubic areas. A person with extreme thinning of hair and with limited donor hair can use the BHT technique to restore their hair on the head. With this method one can hope to have a full head with hair provided they have sufficient hair on the body.

However, this technique is still in its developing and research stages and very few surgeons specialize in it. Transplanting body hair to scalp for hair restoration has been a topic of interest for years. Individuals with depleted or insufficient donor hair are rarely considered as candidates for hair transplants. Being able to tap into body hair as a donor source for hair transplantation would certainly open the doors to thousands who would otherwise not be able to consider hair transplant as an option. Body hair transplant is performed like any traditional hair transplant with a purpose to increased volume and density on the scalp. The surgeon takes a donor FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) from the various parts of the body and then implants the graft in the scalp in the area that is affected by baldness. The challenge lies in the extraction of these grafts and whether or not the follicles will be damaged during the procedure. Body hair transplant is relatively new in the hair transplant field and as mentioned earlier there a very few clinic and surgeons who practice this technique worldwide.

Therefore, the body hair transplantation is in its initial stage and it needs to be further studied for better techniques that can be implemented to make this procedure for hair restoration a success every time. If you are planning to have BHT done then it would be best to do a thorough research about the clinic and the surgeon before spending hundreds and thousands dollars.
