BODY HAIR TRANSPLANT

---

One of the most embarrassing things for a man to hear is ‘Oh he does not hair on is head, he is growing old.’ For the modern male, the ability to maintain a hair full of scalp is often associated as a sign of masculinity. Early signs of hair loss such as a receding hairline or a bald patch on the scalp results in emotional trauma of being called ‘uncle’ even by your peers. No man likes being judged for his lack of hair and for this reason, we offer body hair transplantation treatment in India for men looking to rein in the hair loss and regain their masculinity and ultimately their confidence.

Body hair transplant in India essentially means using hair from the other parts of the body and transplanting them on the scalp. Usually in simple hair transplant or hair restoration procedures the donor hair is taken from the back of the scalp and implanted in the balding areas but in some cases when there is not enough graph available from scalp area, then hair transplant surgeons take donor hair from alternative areas of the body such as the beard and chest and use them for the purpose of transplantation on the head. By harvesting hair follicles from other parts of the body, the hair transplant expert gets a large number of grafts that can be used to implement a higher density of implantation.

Body hair transplant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure with short recovery time. The expert team at The Skin World India uses robotic tools such as the third generation tools that reduces the surgery time considerably and ensures precise micro grafting.

Are you eligible for Body Hair Transplantation?

When determining the eligibility of body hair transplant (BHT) in India the prime concern is the reason of hair loss and the second is your expectations from results of the BHT procedure. There are many reasons because of which you might not have enough hair on the donor area of your scalp such as

1. Trauma: Physical Trauma to the scalp such as road accident, burns, and surgical procedures can cause permanent damage to the hair follicles and expend the hair loss phase.
2. Genetics: If you are genetically predisposed to hair loss just like your forefathers then it can one of the reasons that you are looking hair from scalp and other parts of the body.
3. Stress: Change of jobs, a personal life upheaval, sudden changes in diet and routines unbalance the body hormones and can lead to changes in hair growth cycle and affect the quality of the hair.
4. Medication: Some medications can cause hair loss but in most cases, it is temporary.
5. Nutritional deficiency: Not eating the right nutrients can also cause the hair loss. Nutritional deficiency in vitamin A, B-12, C & D, iron and zinc can cause the hair to weaken and the follicles to shrink.

Different between scalp hair and body hair

The hair on the scalp is not the same as the rest of the body hair and therefore body hair transplantation requires special attention and skill on the part of the physician to match the density of the scalp hair and still retain the natural look. Body hair differ from scalp hair in the following points:

1. Out of the 5 million hair follicles on the body only one hundred thousand are on the scalp
2. Scalp hair grow longer than the rest of the body
3. The rest phase of the hair on the scalp is highest in the body
4. The hair on the scalp is thicker than the rest of the body.
5. Body hair follows the same hair growth pattern as that of the scalp but they have short hair growth phase and therefore the results of BHT take some time to be visible.

2. The donor area will be anesthetized locally before beginning the extraction.
3. If the recipient area is the chest, then the surgeon cannot extract more than 1500 grafts per day and therefore you might need to prepare for a surgery split into several days.
4. While extraction the hair transplant surgeons in Kanpur play a very close attention to the angle of the chest or beard hair otherwise transection can lead to wastage of follicles.
5. The extracted hair are cleaned, separated, and implanted in the donor site.

7. The transplanted hair at the recipient site will undergo shedding after about three weeks of the body hair transplant surgery in India and then the new hair growth will start after about third month and by the end of the fifth month you will be able to start noticing the new hair growth.
