I had planned on undertaking my first hair restoration procedure overseas with a deposit paid but have since decided to cancel this thanks to your educational videos. I realised my knowledge of the subject was lacking considerably prior to watching your videos.
There wasn't much information when I had mine done 7 years ago. Sure, I wish I had more knowledge at the time, but in all honesty overthinking it would have probably have prevented me from getting it done. My procedure turned out well and I'm glad I just went through with it.
I have limited donor area on my scalp and I refuse to consider grafts from my beard area as it’s thankfully lush and I don’t want to risk decreasing it. Therefore, body hair is my only option.
Using body hair as donor hair for hair transplantation is an option for individuals with insufficient scalp donor hair. This technique is often referred to as Body Hair Transplantation (BHT). Here are key points about this method: 1. When is Body Hair Used as Donor Hair? Scalp Donor Hair Depletion: When the scalp lacks sufficient hair for transplantation, typically in advanced cases of hair loss. Extensive Hair Restoration: For covering large bald areas or enhancing density. Scar Repair: To camouflage scars from previous surgeries or injuries. 2. Common Body Hair Donor Areas Beard Hair: Preferred for its thickness and similarity to scalp hair. Chest Hair: Commonly used but often thinner than scalp hair. Other Areas: Arms, legs, abdomen, and back can also be considered based on hair quality and availability. 3. Procedure The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is commonly used. Hair follicles are extracted individually from the body and transplanted to the scalp. The procedure requires careful planning to ensure natural results. 4. Challenges Hair Characteristics: Body hair often differs in texture, growth rate, and curliness compared to scalp hair. Limited Availability: Some individuals may have insufficient body hair. Longer Growth Phase: Body hair typically has a shorter growth phase (anagen) and may provide less consistent results. 5. Advantages Increased Donor Supply: Expands the donor pool for individuals with extensive baldness. Versatility: Useful for filling in scars or adding density in small areas. 6. Considerations Expert Surgeon Required: Only highly skilled surgeons should perform BHT to avoid complications. Realistic Expectations: The outcome may not match traditional scalp-to-scalp transplants. 7. Suitability Ideal candidates are those with good-quality body hair and realistic expectations. A consultation with a hair restoration specialist is essential to evaluate feasibility.
Hi doctors, what about the "surgery hair clonation" theres a doctor Who say if the grafts with 2 or 3,or 4 hairs are divided in singles, they grow in 2 or 3 or 4 hairs. He say he did it". He divided grafts with 2 hairs to singles, and each one grew in dobles... He called that process "surgery hair clonation " it could be true?
I had a HT in my front and temporal area a year ago and have been happy. Even though they did an amazing job with the naturalized hairline using single or double hairs towards the front, I feel it's quite noticeable that the hair shafts are thicker than they normally would be in the front of someone's hairline. I've also noticed since starting finesteride and monoxodil that my arm hair has gotten quite long and it's the closest match in my body hair to the hair on my head. What would you think about using some of those arm hairs to slightly fill out the front and intentionally give it some finer, whispier hairs?
Dr Felipe Pitella uses some where between 500-1000 chest hair and more than 1000 beard hair for patients who are NW 6 or 8. Some of his results look impressive, but do chest hair ever fall out?
My last doctor told me the same thing. I didn't use my chest hair, but he said that when other patience use chest hair it would grow another inch more due to the recipient area theory. I can say that I have notice my donor beard hair becoming softer over time.
@@Jim-hv6ql Yes bro, I ve heard that too, althoght the hair is insensibity to DHT damage, when is transplanted to the Scalp, take some characterístics of the recipient zone...
So I have been considering waxing my chest but don’t want to destroy hairs if someday I might want them. Any reason I shouldn’t just have them transplanted onto head? Considering I don’t yet need the thickness in scalp yet
Hi ı am 25 yo male from turkey my hair thinning its depressing for me. I started finasteride 10 days ago 1.25mg for day can ı also add topical dutasteride to my hair care does anyone have experience about using both.
Don't use both. 1mg finasteride is the recommended dosage. Anything beyond it isn't gonna help you but will increase your chances of getting sides manifold. Keep taking finasteride because it'll take a minimum of 6 months to show results. Pair it with dermarolling and rogaine and you'll start seeing great results
Could you please clarify the 50% for chest? Are you saying that for example, an extraction of 300 grafts only about 50% will survive after HT? And about beard rates? Thanks
I think they talk about the growth cycle, the rest phase of the hair Is about 50% of the entire cycle so if you plant 300 chest graft you Will see only 150 growing cause the other 150 are resting and viceversa
@@teotessaro1800interesting enough there is a study where bodyhair on head actually adapt and change their growth cycles. It was done on multiple pacients and it worked amazing.
They are talking about the anagen (growth cycle) and telogen (rest cycle) beard hair is a good option for the right person, I did this with may last transplant 2 years, I used 500 beard graphs to see how it would blend in. So far, no issues.
What if someone grew a good amount of their hair back using rogaine and then started propecia and then 6 months later stopped taking the rogaine......would the propecia still keep most of their rogaine gains??
If you still had your hair but it was starting to thin and your hairline was getting a tiny bit farther back would you first start rogaine or finasteride? @@senpai1628

Regarding the statement "the hair can only be moved once": Could you please make a video regarding Verteporfin?
Thanks for all your great content!

Very informative. Thanks.
Hello, do you have any opinion on ducray neoptide expert? It was recomended by my dermotologist. Info about this it effectiveness are limited.
What about the "recipient dominant" theory... Is it could be true?
My last doctor told me the same thing. I didn't use my chest hair, but he said that when other patience use chest hair it would grow another inch more due to the recipient area theory. I can say that I have notice my donor beard hair becoming softer over time.

Hi ı am 25 yo male from turkey my hair thinning its depressing for me. I started finasteride 10 days ago 1.25mg for day can ı also add topical dutasteride to my hair care does anyone have experience about using both.
1mg fin is enough when it comes to hairloss. You do not need anymore than that. Stick to fin. Dut has severe side effects compared to fin.
Don't use both. 1mg finasteride is the recommended dosage. Anything beyond it isn't gonna help you but will increase your chances of getting sides manifold. Keep taking finasteride because it'll take a minimum of 6 months to show results. Pair it with dermarolling and rogaine and you'll start seeing great results

But1 hairs are better they are longer and thicker than chest hairs

I wonder if every other country is "overseas" for Australians? 😅
yes
What if someone grew a good amount of their hair back using rogaine and then started propecia and then 6 months later stopped taking the rogaine......would the propecia still keep most of their rogaine gains??
Nope, as soon as you cut off the extra blood supply to those new hairs, they'll shed. There's no way around taking them forever
If you still had your hair but it was starting to thin and your hairline was getting a tiny bit farther back would you first start rogaine or finasteride? @@senpai1628
