That page does not inspire much confidence. I will concur that plucked beard hairs regrow. I had some folliculitus in my shaving area in my early twenties and sometimes would pluck several of the large beard hair follicles up there in the infected affected area to relieve some of the tension, and there would be a bare area for a while on my chin, that would completely be filled in with beard follicles about six months later. Ive plucked the left side of my chin in small areas repeatedly and the beard hairs always came back. My derm finally gave me a medication to put up there that cleared it up. The internal anti-biotics she tried at first were not very helpful.



If Hitzig's idea worked, hell any guy could try it. He could make a vertical slit on his hairline, carefully tweeze out a beard hair, put it in the slit, and close it, maybe put a band aid atop it for a couple of days. It would shed in a week or two, and then grow back in a few months....

The problem is, Ive never seen ANY MAN come on these forums and say "hey look at my beard hair transplant from Dr. Hitzig" and how "I completely restored my bald spot with beard hair that looks astonishgly much more like head hair, etc.". Ive seen nothing and heard nothing.
BUT WHAT I HAVE HEARD are a couple of different men complaining about how they were dealt with via Hitzig. I remember reading about one guy who went to a consultation with Hitzig and came away thinking "slippery salesman" afterwards who opted to go with someone else.


Also, if this did indeed work, Dr. Umar in California, Dr. Cole in Georgia, Dr. Arvind Poswal in India, and Dr. Woods in Australia would have certainly have been using it by now. If a guy was willing to keep a buzz cut all his life, theoreticall speaking you could make a headfull of hair with beard hair that would actually "LIKE" testosterone. It would be wavy if grown out very long though....thus would have to be kept short to be cosmetically pleasing....
