Transplant
Beard & Mustache

Beard or Mustache transplantation is a permanent solution if you have little or no hair on your face. In some areas the beard follicles are very weak or thin due to hormones and genetic factors. Androgen production is affected by two male hormones; testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.

Testosterone ensures the thickness of the hair and stimulates the hair follicles.

Dihydrotestosterone ensures the number of hair follicles and the density of hair follicles.

Both of them trigger the beard growth, and the more of these hormones you have the bigger and fuller your beard will be. On the other hand, if their levels start dropping as you get older you could see your beard start to thin and fall out.

Beard transplant performed with hair transplant

If the person undergoes beard transplantation simultaneously with hair transplantation, the sufficiency of the number of hair follicles of the patient is considered. Chest hair can also be used if necessary. The follicles are chosen according to the recipient areas,  those suitable for the beard are different from the ones suitable for the hair. In this way, hair and beard transplantation can be performed simultaneously in 1 session.

 

Does the beard shed after a transplant?

Scabbing occurs 10 days after the beard transplantation and the transplanted follicles fall out.  This is part of the process, and at the end of month 3, the definite hair will start to grow. Beard transplantation is permanent , and the follicles implanted have lifetime guarantee.

Who needs a beard transplant?

  • To those who have sparse areas,
  • To transgender persons,
  • To those who suffer regional loss due to problems such as burns,

The different steps of the beard transplant

  • 1. Consultation
  • 2. Extracting
  • Slits openings
  • Grafts transplantation

Blood tests are made, the first meeting with the hair transplant expert is held. A consultation during which  the patients’ expectations are discussed, A form is filled out, the patient’s health problems, hair loss history, habits, health issues are all questioned. 

The beard and mustache lines are drawn and the recipient areas are determined. The donor area is shaved. Then the surgery is launched after numbing the donor area.  

The  follicular units  are being extracted from the designated donor area. Hair follicles are removed with 0.7 or 0.8 mm punch tips with the help of a micro-motor. The follicles are removed without damaging the hair tissue. The hair follicles are collected and kept in a special solution.

This step is very important and can be performed only by the hair transplant expert since the slits should be opened in the appropriate direction, angles and depth to achieve a natural appearance. 

The final step consists in a single hair-by-hair  implantation performed by specialists. After the transplantation of all the extracted follicles and a final check, the head is bandaged and the patient is discharged.
