Can I use other people's hair for hair transplant?

April 26, 2023
For those who have frequent hair loss or baldness, doctors usually recommend using hair transplant surgery to solve the problem, which will not have hormonal effects and can be maintained for a long time, but some patients do not have enough hair of their own and want to use other people's hair for transplantation.

Can you use other people's hair for hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is generally not possible to use other people's hair follicles because it may cause rejection, allergy, sepsis and other reactions and health problems.

The best way to get a hair transplant is to use your own hair

The best way to get a hair transplant is to use your own hair follicles from the back of your head, which is generally recommended by hair transplant surgery hospitals. The main reason for hair loss in middle-aged men is the influence of androgens in the endocrine system, because the hair follicles in the back of the head will not shrink due to the influence of androgens and can be maintained for a long time.

How to do if there are too few hair follicles on the head

If the hair on the head itself is thin and there are very few healthy hair follicles in the back of the head, you cannot use head hair follicles for transplantation. The hair follicles in the beard area are also not affected by androgen stimulation, healthy and stable, and similar to the hair quality, but due to the special nature of the beard, the beard can only be planted on the top of the head to ensure the post-operative effect.

Can you use armpit hair or leg hair for hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is generally not recommended to use armpit or leg hair because the stability of the hair follicles of armpit and leg hair is poor, the survival rate of the planted past is low, and the surgical result is not good.
