Hey Guys,

What do you all think about Dr's Angela and Ray woods? Is it overhyped or do you think that they really can pull off this BHT perfectly without all the problems one typically reads about this procedure..
Anyone out there ever done this with successful results, that can match FU's? Ive only ever seen crap results in my limited research.....

wanthairs,

There have been a lot of claims about BHT, but like you, I have yet to see any consistency in results. Personaly, I'd hold off on considering BHT until there is at least some consistency with it. I think I've seen ONE good result so far out of the 10 cases or so I've followed. There are some I'm following now, but they are not at maturation yet, so I can't make an evaluation.Bill

To learn about how I restored my hair, view my my hair loss website.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

The woods technique is nothing other than their method.

Regardless of the extraction and implantation methods, no doctor can guarantee body hair growth, nor can they forecast or assume the length of time between resting and growing phases for body hair.

My personal feeling about body hair is that AFTER scalp donor is exhausted through strip/fue the patient/doc have a few choices:

Test BHT in the donor region--- if successful and appropriate, perhaps over-harvest scalp donor through fue and replace with body hair grafts.

Decide to use BH as filler between existing scalp hair in order to give more body to transplanted hair.

ANY bht patient who has what could be termed as "decent/good" results has a substantial number of scalp grafts transplanted 4-5000.

Dr. Umar, Woods, ******, C.ole, etc.... etc... have FAILED MISERABLY to provide consistant results over the past 3 years.

I suggest you really research this and meet 5-6 patients of each doctor in person before making a decision.

Take Care,
J

Wise advice

I am soo confused about BHT.. I have been on this forum for over 2 years and I have read about several BHT procedures.. My questions are

Does it work or not?
What are the year end results?
Photo's?

At this point I'm sure some docs who have done it know it is either effective or not..

I mean, either it grows or doesn't??

My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor.

Total - 5621 FU's uncut!

I agree with Mrjb. It seems that there are many that post their immediate post op results and then disappear. What gives?? My assumption is that it is usually unsuccessful or we would see more posters showing off their results. Just my opinion--and apparently Jobi's.

Hi

I am just clueless on this subject. I see many posts without closure or a final conclusion.. Either it is a viable option or not.. Seems like there have been enough procedures to benchmark?

I am still not clear on how body hair takes on the same Texture, appearance & legnth as scalp hair.?????

Guys, i admit i dont know much about BHT nor seen results bUt thought id chip in with my 2 cents nonetheless....

From what ive read, bht typically takes longer to grow, are mostly singular follicular units so not great for density and terminal lengths are shorter. Therefore at best they could be used to dilute traditional scalp supply in less cosmetic areas. Also not seen many final results.

I would also say that as someone just embarking on the HT journey, i do not look on bht as a source of additional grafts at this stage. In other words I wouldnt get a HT in the first place if i thought i would need to rely on bht to complete the process. Having said that I realise it does offer hope to many who have exhausted their scalp donor withot the desired results (for whatever reason).

Anyway, waffled on a bit!!

Folica, most body hair will never grow more than 1/2 to 1 inch in length.

Body hair is a most infuriating and potentially disastrous undertaking.

Again, where are the patients?

1 year?
2 years?

Body hair also NEEDS DHT so what do patients who use a combination of scalp/body hair do?

I am disgusted an saddened by what I feel is an ethical compromise by some doctors who continue to tout their skills and charge for a surgery that cannot even produce 20% of its patients as a success.

Take Care,
J
