Regular Member lisa Posted February 22, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2012 I just saw on the news that a dr is using leg hair instead of the scalp-it isn't supposed to fall out. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted February 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2012 Dr. Umar, who is world renowned and reccomended on this site, specializes in using body hair for scalp transplants. He uses chest, leg, and beard primarily. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted March 13, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yes, it certainly sounds like the Dr. Umar article. We announced this on our Q&A Blog a couple of weeks ago also.

stevemadden23 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Dr. Umar asserts that leg hair is able to produce a finer and more natural appearance in the hairline than hair harvested from the permanent donor zone at the rear and sides of the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member 2yrcoverup Posted March 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2012 thats what im looking into after my donor hair has gone as not much left and need more, but he charge 8 dollars a graft, anyone know any other surgeons that transplant leg or beard hair bit cheaper on here or know of any scarring with legs as head hair covers donor site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
