Body Hair Transplant to Head Turkey
Body hair transplant is a relatively new application in Turkey. However, hair transplant from body hair has opened a promising door for hair loss treatment and has shown successful results in our centres.
Body hair has different characteristics from scalp hair in terms of length, colour, diameter, and growth time. Since not all body hair can be suitable for hair transplant, there are specific criteria when using body hair as a donor. These criteria, called Torso Donor Index, are the following:
- Density
- Similarity
- Number of Roots
- Width of Donor Area
- Body Hair Length
Depending on the quality and thickness of your hair, the results may vary. Therefore, you can make an appointment with our centre, esteGrande, for more detailed information.
