I think I can answer the "recipient site influences the hair growth" assertion.
The body hairs may grow longer on the head than they do the body (up to six inches long on one man), BUT THEY DONT GET THICKER or change their wavyness or curl. They still look like body hairs, albeit they might be longer----usually about two times longer according to Dr. Arving Poswal. So if your chest hair is an inch long, it might grow 2 inches or slightly more on your head usually. It may get longer.............but then again it may not even grow up there at all. A few men move the hair, and get little or no yield. Docs do not know why.
They usually look pretty bad though. Ive watched them for a long time. Its best used as "filler hair".
Also (IMPORTANT), its been found by a density study done by John Cole that no more than 30 grafts per centimeter needs to be implanted for maximum yield. Cole put little centimeter square patches of grafts on a guy a couple of years ago in varrying densities. He found that 60 grafts per sqare centimeter only seen a couple of hairs even grow, but he got very good yield from 30 grafts per cm. The problem is that 30 hairs (body hairs are usually in only one hair grafts) is quite thin coverage. WE are talking comb-over looking hair at best. Cole speculated that body hair could be used between regular grafts for the best effect as real head hair seems to aid the growth of body hair on the scalp, and postulated that some of the pro-growth signalling in growing head-scalp transplants would help the body hairs grow.
But even he admitted that was conjecture based on some mixing he'd done in a few patients. We really dont know.
Wook, I should have taken a pic or two of my wrist when I did the revivogen on it....................................but its easily retestable for anyone (like you) who wants to do it. Buy a little vial of revivogen, and put it on your body hair for three months.....................you will have less hair where you put it. Not to be selfish but I wanted to know if it worked for ME to be honest, and my webcam is all fucked up----I'd have to buy a new one.
