The technique known as Body Hair Transplant uses body hair, mainly from the beard region, to complement the traditional donor area in patients with more advanced baldness. Many men with extensive baldness face the doubt of whether there is enough hair in the donor area to recover large regions of the scalp, and this approach offers an alternative for these cases.
Beard hair has different characteristics from scalp hair, being generally thicker. For this reason, they can be used strategically to complement coverage in certain regions, contributing to a sensation of greater density in the final result of the transplant.
According to the technique, the beard can be an excellent donor area for certain patients. Depending on the density, it is possible to extract up to 4,000 follicles from the beard alone, considering regions such as the face and areas below the chin.
The technique emerges as a solution for patients with advanced stages of baldness who do not have sufficient donor area on the scalp to cover all necessary regions, expanding the treatment possibilities for these more complex cases.
