Body Hair Transplant In Seattle, Washington

Hair loss does not play fair. Some of us have thick, fast‑growing follicles on our chest or beard, while the scalp becomes a thinning pasture. A body hair transplant turns that frustrating imbalance into an advantage by moving strong, healthy strands from the body to the head. At Allure Esthetic in Seattle, Washington, Dr. Javad Sajan and our hair‑restoration team use advanced FUE tools and an artist’s eye to create density that can look and feel natural. Whether you need extra grafts after earlier surgery or simply lack robust scalp donor hair, a body hair-to-head transplant may offer the fresh start you have been looking for.

A body hair transplant (BHT) is a specialized form of follicular unit extraction (FUE). Instead of collecting grafts from the traditional donor zone at the back of the scalp, Dr. Sajan may harvest follicles from the beard, chest, shoulders, or even the legs. Each follicular unit—typically one to three hairs—is removed with a tiny punch device under local anesthesia. The grafts are then implanted into thinning or bald areas on the scalp, just like a standard hair transplant. Because body hair often has a different growth cycle and diameter, careful selection and placement are essential for a blended, natural result.

• Donor Source: Traditional FUT or FUE uses scalp hair exclusively. A hair transplant from body hair leverages non‑scalp follicles when the back of the head is limited or exhausted.
• Graft Texture: Body hairs can be curlier or finer. Our team assesses which regions pair best with the recipient zone (for instance, beard hair can mimic crown density, while finer arm hair may soften a hairline).
• Extraction Pattern: Scalp FUE allows a wide harvesting field; body harvesting is more dispersed, requiring meticulous mapping to avoid patchiness.
• Session Length: Because grafts grow in mixed directions on the torso, the procedure can take longer than standard FUE.

A BHT may be the right call when:

• The scalp donor supply is depleted from prior surgeries or advanced balding.
• Scar tissue limits traditional harvest zones.
• Higher graft numbers are needed for full coverage.
• Camouflaging scars from previous FUT strips or injuries is a goal.

With these advantages, a body hair transplant to the head procedure can restore options to candidates who were once told they had “no more donor hair left.”

Success depends on surgical skill, patient physiology, and realistic expectations. Studies and clinical experience suggest that body‑derived follicles typically have a survival rate between 60% and 80%, slightly lower than pure scalp grafts but still capable of meaningful cosmetic improvement. Dr. Sajan’s refined FUE technique, combined with platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) therapy offered in many cases, can enhance graft take and early growth, delivering results that patients feel confident showing off.

• Consultation & Mapping: We review medical history, photograph the scalp and potential body donor sites, and simulate expected coverage.
• Donor Hair Trimming: Body areas are shaved discreetly so follicular units are visible.
• Local Anesthesia & Harvesting: Tiny 0.8‑1mm punches gently score and lift grafts. Discomfort is minimal, and patients often enjoy watching movies or listening to music.
• Recipient Site Creation: Dr. Sajan creates microchannels in the scalp that follow natural angles and swirl patterns.
• Graft Placement: Technicians place each unit with forceps or an implant pen, paying attention to direction and density.
• Breaks & After-Care Review: Snacks, stretch breaks, and a take-home kit are provided for your comfort.

The full-day session may last six to ten hours, depending on the graft count.

Recovery Process

• Days 1‑5: Tiny scabs form; gentle saline sprays keep the area clean.
• Week 1: Most patients return to desk work; body donor spots usually look like small pin pricks.
• Weeks 2‑3: Transplanted hairs shed—this “shock loss” phase is normal.
• Months 3‑6: New growth emerges, often wiry at first.
• Months 9‑12: Hair thickens and blends; styling freedom returns.

How much do 3,000 hair grafts cost in the USA?

Prices vary widely, but using our transparent Seattle pricing of about $5 per graft for FUE, 3,000 grafts may run roughly $15,000 before anesthesia or travel. National averages range from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on surgeon expertise, technique, and geography.

What is the BHT procedure?

BHT stands for Body Hair Transplant. It harvests follicles from regions such as the beard, chest, or legs and implants them into thinning scalp zones to boost density when scalp donor hair is limited.

Why aren’t hair transplants worth it?

For some, cost, multiple sessions, or unrealistic expectations can outweigh benefits. Choosing an experienced surgeon and understanding recovery timelines can improve satisfaction.

Does anyone regret a hair transplant?

Yes—usually when results look unnatural or scar visibility was underestimated. A carefully planned procedure, modern FUE tools, and body hair options may reduce regret by creating softer, more natural-looking coverage.

Why do most hair transplants fail?

Common reasons include poor graft handling, overly aggressive harvesting, unqualified practitioners, or inadequate after‑care. At Allure Esthetic, strict graft viability protocols and personalized recovery guides can dramatically improve long-term success.
