Body Hair Transplant (BHT) Treatments

What is a Body Hair Transplant (BHT) Treatments?

A Body Hair Transplant (BHT) is a procedure where hair is taken from various parts of the body (other than the scalp) and transplanted to areas of hair loss or thinning. It is commonly used when the scalp lacks sufficient donor hair, such as in advanced cases of baldness.

Common Uses of BHT

Scalp Hair Restoration:

To restore hair in cases of severe baldness where scalp donor hair is insufficient.
Hair is taken from the chest, back, arms, legs, or beard.

Beard or Mustache Transplants:

Body hair is used to create or enhance facial hair density.

Eyebrow Restoration:

For individuals with sparse or missing eyebrows.

Scarring or Alopecia Treatment:

Filling in areas affected by scars, burns, or alopecia.

Procedure Overview

Donor Hair Selection: The surgeon identifies suitable donor areas, such as the chest, arms, legs, or beard, based on hair texture and growth patterns.
Hair Extraction: Hair follicles are removed from the donor site using techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
Preparation:
The extracted follicles are cleaned, sorted, and prepared for transplantation.
Transplantation: The follicles are implanted into the recipient area, following the natural growth direction.
