I'm pretty certain you guys are confused about Hitzig's technique (okay, I'm probably confused about that, I'm skimming ). He doesn't extract the beard hair leaving a scar. He plucks the beard hair with tweezers and implants the plucked hair in the scalp. His claim is that 80% of the implanted hairs grow in the scalp, and 100% of the hairs that were plucked from the beard grow back. Gho tried this with scalp hair, and it didn't work. The plucked scalp hairs have plenty of stem cells to make it work (see Dr. Gho's study in the BJD), the problem is the hairs must have some surrounding tissue to interact with the stem cells on the plucked hair to make it work. Apparently beard hair has some of this tissue surrounding the bulb when the hair is plucked with tweezers.

Here is how to do the procedure:

1) pluck the most robust beard hair, and immediately soak the graft in a keratinocyte based culture medium.

2) Transplant the plucked hair into the scalp skin using a very small needle to make the hole.

3) Wait and observe. You will find that some of the implanted beard hairs will grow, and others will not grow.

Why does it work?

The hair does not actually grow. It works because the hair has follicle stem cells, ORS cells, and other important signaling cells clinging to the large white bulb (you have to use a robust bulb in anagen). The combination of cells actually cause a new follicle (in some cases multiple follicles) to form in the skin. The new follicle supports hair that is reminiscent of the beard hair it came from but has some scalp hair characteristics (less kinky and grows longer). This technique results in unlimited donor hair and is very noninvasive. The main drawback is that you end up with beard hair in your head (okay if your a fan of BHT), and the plucked hair does not always result in a new follicle, so you have to have numerous procedures to achieve good density.

This is a neogenesis technique and is actually quite similar to what Aderans is currently experimenting with using scalp hair.
