    Glossary Body-to-Scalp

    body hair is transplanted to the scalp for hair restoration

    Body-to-Scalp refers to the technique of transplanting hair follicles from body areas, such as the chest or legs, to the scalp to address hair loss. This method is particularly relevant for individuals with insufficient donor hair on the scalp due to conditions like androgenetic alopecia. Key distinguishing characteristics include the potential for different hair texture and growth patterns, as body hair may not match the scalp hair in terms of thickness or curliness, which can affect the overall aesthetic outcome of the transplant.
