at a rate of 700 grafts per hour, mostly 3 and 4 hair grafts. Dr.
Jones was able to get a 4 or 500 from lower on the neck for the
patient’s hair line (finer single hair grafts ). Dr. Hussain was
attending a one week FUE training with Dr. Jones when this
procedure was performed.

Hair Transplant Case Study: Body Hair to Scalp Transplant – Dr.
Arvind Poswal
Dr. Arvind Poswal provides in-depth documentation, photos and
discussion about one of his patients who had body hair
transplantation done. The grafts were taken from the chest of his
patient and transplanted on a small vacant area of scalp to be
able to easily observe the growth without confusing them with the
scalp hair. That was done on the right side of hairline.
Simultaneously FUSE (FUE) grafts from scalp were placed on the
left side of the hairline.
According to Dr. Arvind Poswal, the questions that need to be
answered for BHT:
1). Yield--how much %age of grafts will survive and at what
duration post op will the growth start.
2). Will the body hair assume characteristics of scalp hair.
3). Donor area scarring.
Dr. Arvind Poswal’s findings:
1.Yield- The yield of the transplanted body hair and the time
taken for them to start growing is at par with the transplanted
scalp hair.
2.The body hair have grown longer on the scalp than they grew on
chest.
3.The donor area -chest-shows mild hypertrophic scars (whitish
spots).
Though the patient was not concerned about that scarring but Dr.
Arvind Poswal has now adopted the policy of using donor sealant to
minimize/ get rid of this too in all body hair cases.

Hair Transplant - Donor Sealant for FUE Transplant – Dr. Arvind
Poswal
Dr. Arvind offers pictorial comparison of the FUE donor area 7
days post op WITH and WITHOUT use of donor sealant. Donor sealing
is a new approach some FUE doctors are using. According to Dr.
Arvind Poswal, while at present he does not think that donor
sealing is a must, but it is beneficial in people with whitish or
darker complexion.
In these patients, the pinpoint hypopigmentation may be visible
(on close scrutiny after shaving the donor area) In people with
fair skin it will probably be immaterial.

SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) are enzymes which destroy superoxide
free radicals and prevent the cellular damage that free radicals
cause. Some studies have shown that SODases can stimulate hair
growth and decrease hair loss. Here is a study which confirms that
SOD can penetrate the skin.

Topical – Is liposomes/nanosomes a superior and cost effective
vehicle for delivering minoxidil ?
A study by AmorePacific R&D Center, Yongin-si, Korea showed
that “there was no significant difference in the activity of
anagen induction of C57BL/6 mouse between 3 % minoxidil solution
(propylene glycol and ethanol) and 0.5 % minoxidil nanoparticle
solution.”. Bryan raised an interesting issue as to whether
liposomes/nanosomes are uniquely able to do anything that ordinary
vehicles can't do, when simply used in larger amounts and/or
concentrations.
