Why did humans evolve to have less body hair while retaining scalp hair? Discover the science behind human body hair evolution, from thermoregulation and the differences between vellus and terminal hair to the hormonal and genetic mechanisms that influence hair growth.
Some individuals living with overweight or obesity may be suitable candidates for hair transplantation following an appropriate medical assessment and individualized risk evaluation. Eligibility is not determined by body weight or body mass index (BMI) alone. Coexisting medical conditions, respiratory status during the procedure, current medications, scalp health, and the quality of the donor area must also be considered.
In an era in which artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, the fields of Hair Restoration Medicine and Surgery are also undergoing a major transition.
