Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is becoming an increasingly popular method for hair restoration. As FUE leaves behind no linear scars, it is more suitable to harvest from various body areas including beard, chest, and extremities in hirsute individuals. Body hair characteristics such as thickness, length, and hair cycle may not completely match to that of the scalp hair. The techniques of harvesting body hairs are more time consuming, requiring higher degree of skill than regular scalp FUE. Body hair transplantation can be successfully used either alone or in combination with scalp hair in advanced grades of baldness, for improving the cosmetic appearance of hairlines and in scarring alopecia when there is paucity of donor scalp hair. Harvesting of body hairs opens up a new viable donor source for hair restoration surgeons, especially in cases of advanced Norwood grades five and above of androgenetic alopecia.
毛囊单位提取（FUE）正成为一种越来越受欢迎的毛发移植方法。由于FUE不会留下线性疤痕，因此更适合从多毛个体的各个身体部位取材，包括胡须、胸部和四肢。身体毛发的特征，如粗细、长度和毛发周期，可能与头皮毛发并不完全匹配。采集身体毛发的技术更耗时，比常规的头皮FUE需要更高的技术水平。在晚期秃发中，身体毛发移植可以单独成功使用，也可以与头皮毛发联合使用，以改善发际线的外观，在供体头皮毛发稀少的瘢痕性脱发中也可使用。采集身体毛发为毛发移植外科医生开辟了一个新的可行供体来源，尤其是在雄激素性脱发诺伍德5级及以上的晚期病例中。
