Body Hair Transplant

Beard and chest hair as supplemental donor sources when scalp donor supply is limited or depleted.

Body hair transplant

Overview

Body Hair Transplant, especially beard hair, can be an extra donor source for patients with limited scalp donor availability.

Beard hair is usually the best body source because of its caliber and biological behavior; chest hair is a secondary option.

AEK often combines scalp FUE with body hair transplant from the beard and/or chest over two or three consecutive sessions.

What matters in the plan

  • Body hair supplements scalp donor hair; it does not fully replace it.
  • Beard donor zones can heal with minimal visible scarring when handled carefully.
  • Session yields are usually strategic, commonly around 1,000 to 2,000 body grafts.
