Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted January 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 23, 2021 It depends what part of the body you're getting it from. Beard hair will grow more quickly and will usually be more thick too. What area of your body are you getting the hair from? My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted January 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2021 I always hear that one reason you don't get as much density from body hair grafts as you do with scalp grafts is because body hair grafts are almost all single hair. Here's an enlarged picture of my abdomen about a week after having body hair grafts removed. I circled some of the two hair grafts still remaining and this is after a lot of grafts were removed. You can see all the redness from the FUE. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted January 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2021 For me I feel like it's maybe a month behind scalp grafts. Whatever growth there would be if it was scalp grafts then the body grafts will be at that point a month later, so it's not that big a change. I can say after 13 months I was still seeing some minor improvement. 2 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
