Body Hair Transplant (BHT)
Bigmac. Sometimes body hair seems to work quite well and sometimes it does not. Results vary from one patient to another, as well as the source of donor body hair. We've also seen good body hair growth in certain areas on the scalp, and not so impressive results in other areas of the same patients scalp.
Leg, chest, and beard seem to work best depending on each patient’s goals. We prefer to perform a test first to see how patients respond to body hair. Sometimes the growth is good, but the result is subtle and produces a limited aesthetic improvement. Some individuals will be thoroughly excited about subtle improvement, while others will not. It is better to evaluate how each patient responds and how each patient perceives the results prior to having a larger procedure performed.
In our experience body hair seems to almost always produce growth, but one cannot predict who will get a good result, who will be satisfied with their procedure, and who will get a poor result. There are still unknowns with regard to using body hair on the scalp.

Thanks for that, i would hazzard a guess that more docs will be venturing into BHT once they learn and see more results.

Benefits & Limitations of body hair transplatation (BHT)
Bigmac,
Yes. In the right hands, body hair transplantation can be beneficial for a large number of patients. Patients who have extensive scarring, over harvested donor supply, or major hair loss may benefit most from BHT. Since we began BHT, our primary focus has been to increase the overall aesthetics and yield of each patient’s results. By extensive study and testing, we have been able to focus on improving our approach and technique of harvesting body hair. We have implemented several key steps within our BHT preparation method of BHT which have been shown to be beneficial for our patients. Although BHT can produce results, we would much rather use scalp donor resources to produce more predictable results and yield of growth. BHT should be a LAST OPTION for patients who understand that the results are unpredictable and have several limitations.
