This FUE Body to Scalp Hair Transplant (BHST) procedure entails taking hair from the chest, abdomen, and other parts of the body and transplanting them to the thinning and balding areas of the scalp. Minimal discomfort. Great for clients with limited donor hair. No sutures or linear scarring.
TECHNIQUE
A typical case would involve the harvest of both the back and/or sides of the head, and 1 to 2 body parts (typically chest and abdomen). We can extract from the clients beard, chest, abdomen, or quads. The area is determined by which location has the best quality hair and the client’s personal preferences as well. The preferred technology used for extraction is the WAW FUE device which is the most advanced Belgian, FUE Technology in the market. A special hybrid punch and oscillating motor allow our clinicians to penetrate the skin at appropriate depths with minimal trauma, yielding plump grafts and an ultra-low transection rate.
The typical Body to Scalp FUE Hair Transplant procedure takes place in 8-key phases:
Anesthesia to numb the area of the scalp where we extract the donor hair from
Harvesting of the area on the scalp
Anesthesia to the recipient site
Phase one of recipient site making
Body anesthesia
Body hair harvest & implantation
Verify design and make additional recipient sites (if required)
Resume final stage of implantation.
This Body to Scalp Hair Transplant procedure requires a highly skilled team of clinicians and Techs to maintain proper time management to ensure health of the grafts and more importantly, the client. It is also a very safe and comfortable procedure when performed by the right hands. This technique enables many clients who have traditionally been told they are not a candidate to receive a successful hair transplant. It also empowers individuals who want a larger session to safely receive one, so long as it is clinically necessary to achieve their desired goal.
It is also a great procedure for those who wish to preserve the density at the back of their heads in case they decide to shave it closely.
