Body Hair transplant (BHT) is the effective procedure for the patients that have lack of donor follicles on scalp. The technique used for transplanting the body hair is derived from FUE and it basically involves extracting body hair.

BHT-FUE method is basically for the patients whose donor areas have been used badly or who have lack of donor hair follicles. If the physical requirements are met then follicular units are extracted from the body parts such as arms, legs, chest, armpits and beard.

Specific conditions for BHT- FUE patients

Candidates for this follicular unit extraction procedure must meet the certain physiological requirements such as Body hair must be suitable to be cultivated as head hair. Generally body follicular units are different from the scalp follicles in texture and type. Body hair exists with one hair per FU whereas scalp hair exists in natural grouping of 1-4.

For example the 50 FUs per cm2 density mean body hair are 50-60 per cm2 whereas same density means that density of head hair 90-120 hairs per cm2. It means for BHT there is needed to obtain natural looking hair density twice as many grafts are needed. So this surgery can be used to improve the density of head hair.
