Why can’t I get more hair follicle grafts from another person?
Why Can’t I get hair transplant using hair follicule grafts from another person ? Hair transplantation is a process of taking live hair grafts from one part of the head or body to another. It is an autologous hair transplantation since the donor grafts come from the same individual and not from another. So is it possible to take hair grafts from another individual and transplant it into an entirely different person? The answer is No. Hair follicule grafts for a transplant procedure must be your own. Although they are referred to as “donor” follicles, this does not mean that they can literally be donated by other people.
Transplanting hair follicule grafts from another person, is it realistic ?
Hair follicles are very small and delicate structures, unlike the kidneys, heart and liver. The immune system is designed to detect foreign protein that is unique to the body. And it will launch attacks to kill or get rid of these threats. Therefore, hair follicles from other individuals cannot be expected to survive.
Although there are immunosuppressant drugs, they will be detrimental to your own immune response. And your body will be less able to defend itself from pathogens.
