Beard Hair Transplantation | Eugenix Hair Sciences

What is Beard Hair Transplant?

Some men cannot grow a full beard because of genetics, scarring or other causes. A beard hair transplant places your own hair in thin or patchy areas of the beard.

Facial hair is associated with looks and masculinity. It is better to understand the anatomy of a beard transplant before you decide to undergo it. The beard formation begins during puberty and it continues to grow and develop till the mid-thirties. For beard transplant, the face is divided into two sections – Frontal and Lateral. The lateral part will involve the sideburns, the jawline and the cheeks. While the frontal part includes the goatee and the mustache involving the chin and lower part of the jawline.

The doctor who performs the hair transplant keeps in mind that the hair density in the mustache and beard is usually different. The number of grafts needed also differ from person to person. However, usually, on average, 2000 to 2500 grafts are needed.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Beard Hair Transplant?

There are a few requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to be a good candidate for a beard transplant. The person should be in sound mental and medical health. The decision for undergoing a beard transplant should be genuine and not because of any societal pressures. There should be an above-average donor area that involves the side and the back of the head. Moreover, a thorough physical examination is to be done by an experienced doctor to evaluate whether a person is an ideal candidate for the surgical procedure or not.

People who suffer from the following conditions opt for Facial Hair Transplant:

Scars because of any burn, trauma and surgical procedure.
Traction alopecia that may have led to hair loss.
Other medical conditions such as cancer or infections.
Persistent conditions such as Alopecia Areata.
Scarring due to conditions such as folliculitis.
Hair loss because of any earlier transplant surgery.
Less density of beard and mustaches.

The ideal candidates for a beard transplant are those in good health, with a stable hair loss condition and a sufficient donor area. Eugenix Hair Sciences conducts a thorough evaluation so that each treatment plan is personalised.

The Technique Used at Eugenix

Eugenix performs beard transplants with Direct Hair Transplant (DHT), a modified Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) was described by our Co-Founders in their 2013 research paper. Grafts stay outside the body for under 30 minutes with Direct Hair Transplant, compared to 3 to 6 hours with conventional FUE.

Avoidance of a linear scar.
Faster healing time.
The technique of choice in decreased scalp laxity.

How is Beard Hair Transplant Procedure Performed?

First of all the donor area of the head and face will be examined. Then the design of the beard will be decided. The doctor will discuss the design and the density of the beard that the patient is looking for. This discussion will be done in detail and the final plan will be made according to your acceptance.

You may be told to undergo some blood tests and physical checks so as to ensure that your health is good.

Post-operative care is crucial for the outcomes. Eugenix provides full guidance on how to care for the transplanted area.

Key Tips to Remember Before Opting for a Beard Hair Transplant Procedure

Before opting for a beard hair transplant procedure, consider the following key tips:

1. Research: Take the time to research different clinics and surgeons specializing in beard hair transplants. Check the doctor’s name, qualification and registration number, and who performs each step.

2. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified surgeon to discuss your goals, expectations, and candidacy for the procedure. The surgeon will assess your beard growth pattern, hair quality, and overall health to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for a beard transplant.

3. Realistic expectations: Have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure. Understand that a beard transplant may not always achieve your desired outcome or perfect symmetry. The density and coverage of the transplanted hair will depend on factors such as donor hair availability and your individual characteristics.

4. Risks and complications: Educate yourself about the potential risks and complications associated with beard transplant surgery, such as infection, scarring, and uneven growth. Discuss these concerns with your surgeon and ensure you understand the possible outcomes before proceeding with the procedure.

5. Pre-operative preparations: Follow your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions carefully to prepare for the procedure. This may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and following a healthy diet to optimize healing and minimize complications.

6. Post-operative care: Be prepared to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, keeping the transplant area clean and dry, and taking prescribed medications to prevent infection and promote healing.

7. Patience: Understand that the results of a beard transplant take time to fully manifest. It may take several months for the transplanted hair to grow and blend seamlessly with your existing beard. Be patient and trust the healing process.

8. Maintenance: Remember that maintaining your transplanted beard requires ongoing care and grooming. Follow a regular skincare and grooming routine to keep your beard healthy and well-maintained.

By keeping these key tips in mind, you can make an informed decision about whether a beard hair transplant procedure is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a beard transplant do?

A beard transplant places hair in thin or patchy areas of the beard, or over stable scars. Hair is usually taken from the back of the scalp, or from under the jaw where there is growth. The lead surgeon plans the shape and places each graft at the shallow angle in which beard hair grows. The transplanted hair is your own natural hair and can be trimmed and shaved. Results vary from person to person.

What’s the right age to go for a Beard Transplant?

Facial hair often keeps developing into the mid-twenties, so Eugenix generally advises waiting until about 25. By then the natural beard pattern is clearer, and the doctor can also judge whether scalp donor hair should be kept for a future scalp transplant. Where hair loss is due to a stable scar, burn or cleft lip surgery, a transplant may be considered earlier in an adult.

Who is a candidate for a beard reconstruction?

A good candidate is an adult with a thin, patchy or absent beard, or a stable scar in the beard area, who has enough healthy donor hair at the back of the scalp or under the jaw and is in good general health. Active alopecia areata needs to be stable first. Suitability is decided by a doctor after examining your face and donor area.

How does it work?

The lead surgeon first designs the beard shape to suit your face. Hair is taken, usually from the back of the scalp, and placed with Direct Hair Transplant (DHT): the slits are made first, at the shallow angle of beard hair, and grafts stay outside the body for under 30 minutes, compared to 3 to 6 hours with conventional FUE. Beard hair usually starts to grow from Month 4, with full results at about 12 to 13 months.

Are there any associated risks?

A beard transplant is a surgical procedure, so every patient has a medical check before it. Swelling, redness and small scabs in the first week are expected. Risks include infection, ingrown hairs (folliculitis), uneven skin texture and temporary shock loss near the donor area. Our team explains the risks and what to watch for before your procedure, and gives a short course of medicines afterwards.
