In beard transplant, the surgeon determines the donor area where hair follicles will be extracted and transplanted to the beard. First, the donor area is shaved to facilitate the extraction of follicular units. Then, local anesthesia is administered to make the procedure painless.
Then, the hair follicle units are extracted one by one and implanted individually in the desired area. To achieve a natural result, a very small incision of approximately 1 mm is made and the direction of the beard hair is taken into consideration.
If you are a healthy man with enough donor hair on your body, a beard transplant may be just what you need to achieve that perfect beard you've always wanted! Additionally, if you have scars, marks, or areas with little hair on your beard, you are also a good candidate for this procedure. Imagine the confidence you'll feel with a full, well-defined beard that will make everyone turn to look at you! Just make sure to have realistic expectations and understand the risks and benefits before making a decision.
The most common techniques for a beard transplant are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Strip Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). At our clinic, we mainly use the FUE technique, which provides more natural-looking results and minimizes recovery time. With this technique, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from donor areas and transplanted to the beard areas that need filling or enhancement.
