Transplanting Body Hair to a Balding Scalp – Is it Effective?

Is it true that, when  transplanted to [tag]balding[/tag] areas of the scalp, that body hair can grow like “head hair”?

[tag]Body hair transplant[/tag] ([tag]BHT[/tag]) surgery does exist and may be a viable surgical option for a select group of patients however; it is often overhyped and there is a lack of compelling evidence that BHT is consistent in quality results for all [tag]hair loss[/tag] patients.   I have heard and seen cases of patients shoveling out tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars with very little if any [tag]hair growth[/tag], while some repair patients have experienced a significant cosmetically pleasing result.

In my opinion, it is better to consider scalp [tag]hair restoration[/tag] surgery via follicular unit transplantation ([tag]FUT[/tag]) in the hands of a skilled physician which has been proven to be highly effective. Follicular unit extraction  ([tag]FUE[/tag]) in my opinion has a long way to go to show that all hair loss patients are FUE candidates but some [tag]hair transplant[/tag] clinics seem to be doing some quality work in this area as well.
