Beard Transplantation

Beard transplant process

Beard transplantation is a medical treatment in which hair follicles are taken from a donor area such as the nape and transplanted into the beard area. This method is used to obtain a thicker and fuller beard or to fill the gaps in the growth of the beard.

The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and takes several hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. During the procedure, the roots are taken one by one and prepared before planting in the beard area. Small openings are created in the skin where the follicles are placed.

After surgery, the patient should follow a series of instructions to ensure a quick and uneventful recovery. This includes precautions such as avoiding sun exposure, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and using certain care products.

It may take a few months for the results of beard transplantation to be fully visible, as the transplanted hair first falls out and then grows back. However, the results are generally very satisfactory, allowing the patient to enjoy a fuller and thicker beard.



chance of success

Beard transplantation to ensure the growth of beard hair is considered the safest method to achieve exactly this goal because the post-planting growth rate is very high. After a few months, the result of beard transplantation becomes visible: After the transplantation, the hair begins to grow normally - after the hair falls out again - this is due to a short-term lack of nutrients.

The result of occipital hair transplantation is permanent because these hairs are not sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hereditary hair loss. In addition, beards can be trimmed and shaved normally.



Risks and possible complications

However, the hair follicles used heal quickly. In rare cases, when the nerve fibers in the skin renew themselves, itching occurs again after a week.

They not only master the appropriate techniques, but also perform hair transplants from an aesthetic point of view. This also minimizes the risk of an unnatural growth direction.
