Body Hair Transplant Testing – Rationale

There are some good reasons for sometimes opting for test BHT:

Results derived in others may not represent the kind of result you would get. Testing outcomes on yourself (while not full proof) could offer an objective indication of what BHT will do for you from the same doctor that performed the test patch using the same protocols.
In test patch scenarios, especially where donor healing is at issue, this discussion highlights the importance of sample extractions from representative body donor areas. Areas known for their predilection for the worst scarring (e.g. mid chest) could be included in the test when in doubt. When in doubt, it is prudent to keep the number of extractions per test patch to a minimum, lest you end up with too many keloidal “test” scars. A case in example is the following patient who has an equivocal history of wound healing concerns from past surgeries.
