rechargable donnor area ?

Postby apgr » Wed Oct 18, 2006 3:02 am

i would like to ask about the term 'donnor area rechargable' i read in a forum . I refer to fue method . What if the patient take out 3000 head
hair with fue method and later 'load' the thinner safe donnor area with body hair . So the body hair even have different texture ,can 'hide' inside
native hair till have same character .Is that option logical ?

body hair transplant and fit farming

We re-charge the donor area all the time with body hair. The rationale is that body hair will take longer to grow and it may take longer to gain length. It also will help fill in the gaps in the donor area when we remove it to take it to the top. By refilling the donor area we have more hair that can be taken from this area at a later date. we call this fit farming. also, it can take some time for hairs to cycle into a longer growing period. the duration of the growing period makes the hair grow longer. therefore, by moving the hair to the scalp now, we might increase the growing period and the duration of growth. this primes the body hairs so that if we might need them for the bald scalp later on, they might be longer already.

you mean , at the same time we extract the head-hair , right after we add body hair to donnor area ? If that is correct , i think is very good and probably the solution of no thinning donnor area .

yes, this is what i mean. we take out one scalp hair graft by FIt method. We then transplant this to the scalp. Then we take a graft from the body. this is transplanted back into the scalp donor site on the same day.
