can be restored through transplantation
A high-difficulty surgical method that selectively expands
the scope of harvesting to necessary areas
What is Body Hair Transplant?
It is a surgery to reinforce areas of the body such as arms, legs, chest, and pubic region where density is low or follicles have not developed by transplanting body hair.
But why is it unfamiliar?
Because it is a complex surgery with many factors to consider.
-
Low Density
Body hair is mostly single-follicle
Compared to multi-follicular scalp hair, it may appear less dense.
-
Slow Growth Rate
Scalp Hair > Body Hair
Since the growth cycle of scalp hair is longer than body hair, the growth rate also differs.
-
Diverse Characteristics
Surgical methods vary
depending on the donor siteTransplant plans must be tailored based on thickness, skin firmness, and growth direction.
-
Small Quantity Harvesting
Avg. 1,000 hairs possible
It varies by person, but only about 500 to max 2,000 hairs can be harvested.

MOMO's Unique
Scar Prevention Points
We check every detail so you don't have to worry about even small scars.
-
1
Consideration of Skin Tone
If the skin tone is too dark, hypopigmented scars (white spots) may remain after harvesting,
so we check the client's skin color during consultation. -
2
Selection of Harvest Site
We minimize scarring by thoroughly considering
skin characteristics and recovery processes of each area during harvesting. -
3
Use of Small-Sized Punch
We use only small punches under 0.8mm to preserve existing follicle tissue
as much as possible and shorten wound recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are questions and answers regarding body hair transplant. For more details, consultation with a specialist is recommended.

q.
Which areas can body hair transplant be performed on?
a.Body hair transplant is possible on various areas lacking hair, such as chest, pubic area, arms, and legs. Customized transplantation is performed according to individual body hair conditions and desired style.
-
q.
Does the transplanted body hair continue to grow?
a.Yes, once engraftment is complete, it continues to grow through a natural growth cycle. However, growth rate or shape may differ depending on the characteristics of the original body hair.
-
q.
Does body hair transplant leave scars?
a.Scarring is minimized by using the FUE (non-incision) method. Micro-dot marks may remain at the donor site, but they become barely visible over time.
