World Exclusive:
Astounding Discovery with Body Hair To Scalp Transplantation,
A New Reality in Cutting Edge Hair Restoration Technique

Dr. Ray Woods & Dr. Angela Campbell, Sydney, Australia

Another world's FIRST from Dr. Woods & Dr. Campbell

Individuals with extensive thinning and limited donor hair may now be blessed with a second chance for a full head of hair again if they have sufficient body hair, thanks to Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell for pioneering yet another world's first in hair transplantation.

Why body hair?

Transplanting body hair to scalp has been a topic of interest for years. Traditional hair transplantation relies exclusively on donor hair from the back of the patient's head (see picture to the right). Individuals with depleted or insufficient donor hair are rarely considered as candidates for hair transplants. Being able to tap into body hair as a donor source for hair transplantation would certainly open the doors to thousands who would otherwise not be able to consider hair transplant as an option.

Scientific Studies

Over the years, researchers have studied the significance of transferring hair to different regions of the body. For example, at the 10th anniversary meeting of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, Dr. Tom Hwang reported on the yield and resulting characteristics of hairs transplanted to anatomically different regions of the body. It was reported that hairs transplanted to a completely different anatomical site take on the physical characteristics of the recipient site. Similarly, Jung Chul Kim, MD and his team of researchers in Korea showed that when scalp hair is moved to the leg or other extremity, the hair will not grow as fast or as long in the new site. Based on these studies, one might hypothesize that hairs transplanted to the scalp from the chest might take on the characteristics of hairs in the recipient site and begin to grow much longer.

Hypothesis Turned Clinically Proven Reality

Widely recognized for their micro-surgical hair transplant technique where individual follicular units are isolated without using scalpels or requiring any removal of surrounding tissue in the donor site, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell in Australia were also the first in the world to prove on actual hair transplant patients that chest hair can indeed be a viable donor source for hair transplantation. In 2002, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell unveiled a series of photos of Justin and demonstrated to the world first successful attempt to transplant chest hair to scalp with cosmetically acceptable results.

Justin: A Challenge

Prior to becoming Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell's patient, Justin had undergone several large punch graft hair transplants as well as artificial hair implants which caused severe infections. The back of Justin's head had been severely scarred and depleted of usable donor hair. His frontal hairline was sparse with a noticeable and uneven scar from previous procedures. The rest of his scalp was predominantly bald. With little scalp donor hair to work with, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell decided to use Justin's chest hair for the purpose of the corrective procedure. In December 2000, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell transplanted 1,200 grafts of chest hair to Justin's scalp. Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell first performed this type of body hair transplantation in 1998. Since then the technique has been refined and improved on several other patients. Justin was the first publicly documented case of body hair transplant patient in the world.
