The world of celebrity cosmetic surgery wouldn’t be the same without Pixee Fox. The queen of extreme body modification has pretty much done it all in the name of beauty. Botched on E! plans on featuring her in an upcoming episode this December. In a recent promotion, she shocked the world by revealing one of her more unusual cosmetic procedures. The big reveal? Her fake eyelash implants were sourced from none other than her pubic region.

The Benefits of a Pubic Hair to Eyelash Transplant Hair Restoration

We know what you’re thinking – you just can’t make this stuff up. Long-time fans of Pixee Fox know that she is no stranger to outrageous and extreme cosmetic restoration, but is this just a publicity stunt? Dr. U thinks not. In fact, he can personally speak to the value that pubic hair possesses when used for the right body hair transplant.

The benefits of using body hair in a head hair restoration are well-known and widely-accepted. Pubic hair is naturally curly and closely resembles the texture of real eyelash hair, making it an ideal donor graft candidate in some cases. It also does not grow indefinitely the same way that nape or hair from the scalp does. It will require less frequent grooming, such as trimming and curling.

Other Recipient Areas That Can Benefit From a Pubic Hair Transplant

A pubic hair transplant is good for more than just eyelash implants. Those seeking to restore coverage elsewhere on the face may be interested in the possibility of a pubic hair to beard transplant, a pubic hair to mustache transplant, or perhaps a pubic hair to sideburns transplant.

Pubic hair BHT can be used for more than just facial hair restoration. Another notable use of BHT surgery is to restore the appearance of the hairline, greatly increasing graft count in patients with depleted resources in more commonly-used donor areas. Another common application for pubic hair and body hair in general is also eyebrow restoration.

Pubic Hair Transplant and the Dr.UGraft™ Advantage

Dr.UGraft™ is completely one-of-a-kind in its versatility when it comes to body hair transplant surgery of any kind, including pubic hair transplant. The system is able to extract even deeply textured hair from all possible donor areas.

Dr.UGraft™ utilizes a flared punch tip. This feature allows the operator to navigate the often-unpredictable path that curly body hair grows in underneath the surface of the skin. This dramatically reduces rates of transection and increases graft yield exponentially. No other suite of FUE tools can match the incredible dexterity of Dr. U’s intelligently-designed Dr.UPunch™ tip.

Frequently-Asked Questions About Pubic Hair Eyelash Transplant and BHT FUE

Why would anybody use pubic hair for an eyelash restoration surgery?

Pubic hair is naturally thick and curly, making it a great option for some patients seeking permanent eyelash implants. It requires less maintenance than nape or head hair. It is more malleable and capable of holding a curl for longer when styled.

What else can pubic hair be used for?

Pubic hair can be used to craft an extremely convincing beard restoration, mustache restoration, eyebrow restoration, and sideburn restoration. In addition to facial hair, a pubic hair and body hair transplant in general can be used to restore the appearance of a receding hairline.

How will I know if my doctor is using the right type of FUE tools for my permanent eyelashes surgery?

When in doubt, it never hurts to ask. Dr. U can personally vouch for the effectiveness of the Dr.UGraft™ system for all types of hair from any donor area on the body. He’s always happy to set up a consultation for those interested in undergoing eyelash replacement surgery with Dr.UGraft™, or any other type of BHT, for that matter.

Latest Hair Transplant Technique Uses Ultrasound

The latest hair transplant technique makes use of ultrasonic frequencies to bypass problems in extraction for “challenging” patient cases. Dr. Sanusi Umar, the creator of the Dr.UGraft Revolution of advanced hair transplant tools, debuted the world’s first ultrasonic hair transplant procedure for afro-textured hair — a hair type commonly considered challenging in FUE surgery. This is due to both the curve of the hair follicle underneath the skin, as well as its strong attachment to the surrounding skin. Watch the video below to see how these issues appear to be minimized.

How the Latest Hair Transplant Technique Came to Be

The ultrasonic hair transplant procedure above is an innovation on a previous breakthrough from Dr. U’s Clinic — the manual Dr.UPunch Curl™. With its sharp, curved, two-pronged tip, this punch was designed to overcome issues of coiled follicular growth by following the curve underneath the skin. Additionally, the sharp tip cuts away the stronger skin attachments to the scored follicular unit.

A 2016 study, published in PRS – Global Open compared the use of this tool in 18 patient cases with other graft extraction devices and found the Dr.UPunch Curl™ to be 100% successful where others had failed. However, Dr. U kept the kept the idea of further improvements in mind as he continued to pioneer the use of non-rotary tools in FUE surgery.

Discovering the Potential Use of Ultrasound in FUE 

After years of research and development, the inspiration behind the latest hair transplant technique came from the unlikeliest place — the dentist’s office. While Dr. U questioned his dentist’s use of an ultrasonic scaler, he realized he could harness ultrasound not dissimilarly for afro-textured hair.

The latest hair transplant technique , Sonic FUE, uses ultrasonic frequencies to enable an easier extraction process.

Ultrasonic frequencies, tuned appropriate for a given patient, enable a more effortless extraction process by minimizing the issue of tough skin and strong attachments.

Future of FUE 

Many individuals seeking hair loss help have reservations about shaving their donor area for a procedure — particularly when this area is on the back of the head. The success of adding ultrasound to the manual Dr.UPunch Curl™, however, bodes well for the Dr.UPunch Stealth™, a manual punch designed for unshaven FUE procedures.  The potential combination of ultrasonic frequencies and the non-rotary Dr.UPunch Stealth™ could help make non-shaven FUE a more widely available procedure.

FAQ – Latest Hair Transplant Technique Using Ultrasonic FUE

Who benefits from the use of ultrasound in hair follicle extraction? 

Patients who were previously considered challenging due to their hair or skin types, such as African American patients with curly, afro-textured hair and tougher skin, can benefit from Dr.UGraft ultrasonic hair transplant. Additionally, the possible future application of ultrasound to the manual Dr.UPunch Stealth could stand to benefit patients who cannot shave their head for a hair transplant, due to work or anxiety about their appearance.

Which doctors or clinic offer ultrasonic hair transplant procedures?

Currently, the latest hair transplant technique of Sonic FUE is only available at Dr. U’s Hair Clinic in Los Angeles. However, Dr. U is working on making this available to other doctors and clinics as well. In the meantime, the Dr.UGraft™ System, which features the manual Dr.UPunch Curl™, is available to all hair transplant doctors.
