» Here is an update on a patient who recieved approx. 4800 body hair grafts
» via CIT from the chest and the back over an 8 day span. The patient has a
» very thin donor area and huge scars all over the back of his head. It was
» almost impossible to take grafts with a strip procedure. Because the
» patient could not allow us to shave a large area of his scalp we were
» limited to only 1000 grafts with CIT from his scalp donor area. This
» patient’s only solution was to transplant his body hair. Fortunately, he
» had an abundance of hair on his back and chest. As you can see from these
» photos he is healing fast.
»
» It is important to note that we have not always had good results grafting
» the hair line with body hair. Sometimes it seems to work quite well and
» sometimes it does not. It varies from one person to another. We’ve also
» seen good body hair growth in the crown with an individual, but poor body
» hair growth on the frontal hair line.
»
» Based on our findings, it is best to perform a test first to see how you
» respond to body hair and how you perceive these results. Sometimes the
» growth is good, but the result is subtle and produces a limited aesthetic
» improvement. Some individuals will be quite pleased with this subtle
» improvement, while others will not. It best to see how you respond and how
» you perceive the results prior to having a larger procedure performed. This
» patient responded quite well to a high density of body hair, but not all
» patients have as good a response to higher density body hair. Therefore,
» we recommend a lower density and more passes or sessions to help improve
» the chance of a higher yield.
»
» Body hair growth can also be poor in some individuals. In our experience
» body hair seems to almost always produce growth, but one cannot predict
» who will get a good result, who will be happy with their procedure, and
» who will get a poor result. Larger sessions can produce a poor yield in
» some individuals. There is still much to learn with regard to body hair
» transplantation.
»
» Whenever possible you should utilize your scalp hair first and body hair
» as the last line of defense against hair loss.
