What is body hair transplant?
Body hair transplant is an innovative procedure. Here the doctor extracts hair follicles from different parts of your body and transplants them into the bald area of your scalp. It helps in getting maximum density in your hair.
The process is widely accepted because sometimes people do not have sufficient hair follicles in the backside of their scalp. As a result, your doctor needs to extract the follicle from other body parts.
Body hair transplant includes extracting hair follicles from beard, chest, pubic area, arms, legs and axilla to utilize for covering the scalp. The treatment is mostly possible for men as they have more body hairs.
The features of body hairs are very different from that of your scalp hair in respect to quality, texture, length and life cycle. However, these differences do not affect the result. Nowadays many people are opting for this procedure as it can provide density in your hair.
What is the cost of a Body hair transplant?
Chest hair can work most effectively for body hair transplant. Along with that, the men have more hairs on their chest area. It requires a higher level of skill to extract hair from your chest.
The harvesting of these body hair grafts consumes more time than usual. It needs high knowledge and skill to perform the surgery. Thus, body hair transplant cost is much higher than standard excision from the scalp region.
The cost will be decided by the doctor itself after complete examination from where and how much follicles you need to extract.
Types of body hair transplant:
Finding the best donor area is challenging work if your scalp does not have enough hair grafts. In that case, Dr Shankar Sawant chooses the following regions as a donor.
- Beard- Scalp hair is very similar to the hairs present in your beard. Both of them have Long anagen phase and the same type of life cycle etc. Even the availability of hair grafts is also higher than others. So, beard hair is the second most suitable donor for body hair transplant.
- Chest- Though chest hair is not so similar to the scalp hair, yet doctors use these hairs for a suitable donor. Chest hairs are the third option for after beard hair follicle. The life cycle and growth phase are also relatively short in comparison to your beard hairs.
- Pubic area and underarms- Other than these two central donor regions you can have graft excision from underarms and pubic area as well. If the number of the hair follicle is not sufficient in your beard and chest, only then our Dr Sawant will use these areas as donors.
