Beard Transplant (FUE VS FUT)

In the past few years, there has been an increasing demand for beard transplantation. This procedure involves moving hair follicles from the scalp to areas on men’s beard and moustache where hair is thin or lacking.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BEARD TRANSPLANT ?

People from different ethnic backgrounds can have a beard transplant. The most important factors for this procedure are having the right reasons and realistic expectations. Younger patients should understand that if they get hair transplanted to their beard, those hairs will no longer be available for a future scalp hair transplant. If our patients wish to, they can shave their scalps or beard areas without worrying about noticeable scarring.

Beard hair transplant treatment methods

There are various methods to carry out beard implants, with the two most popular techniques being utilized for a beard transplant.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) 

The FUE hair transplant method is widely known and favored. During the procedure, the surgeon will carefully remove hair follicles one by one from the donor region and then place them into the area where they are needed.

Many patients have a strong preference for FUE due to its scar-free nature, speedy recovery time, and minimal discomfort.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT)

During a FUT procedure, your surgeon will remove a section of tissue from the back of your head and extract the hair follicles from it.

In general, it is typically employed for treating extensive hair loss and is a somewhat invasive method. FUT will result in permanent scarring in the area where hair is taken from and the recovery process may be more painful.

Which method is better? 

Both techniques are successful in addressing the issue of beard hair loss. They have the capability to transfer up to 5000 grafts during one session, an ample amount for treating the jaw region. Both procedures are carried out with the administration of local anesthesia.

A significant number of patients choose to have an FUE beard transplant due to its scarless nature, speedy healing process, and reduced discomfort.

After evaluating your scalp during the consultation, your surgeon will ultimately suggest the hair transplant method that is most suitable for you.

How Surgical Beard Transplants Work 

Numerous products claim to reduce hair loss, yet no over-the-counter solution effectively addresses insufficient facial hair growth. Besides hormone therapy, undergoing a surgical procedure for a beard transplant remains the sole dependable choice for individuals wanting to enhance their facial hair growth.

In a beard transplant procedure, a surgeon takes out healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually the scalp. After extracting the follicles, they are then implanted or transferred to the beard region of the recipient. Every hair is positioned meticulously to achieve a genuine look.

Due to the fact that the follicles originate from the patient’s own body, they will settle in the new area as the cuts gradually heal. Once the healing is complete, they will resume growing and eventually fill in the space, resulting in a beard that appears natural.

BEARD TRANSPLANT RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

It takes around 7 to 14 days to fully recover from a beard transplant surgery. Once this time period has passed, you are free to go back to your regular routine.

You may begin shaving or trimming your new beard after three weeks. Within two to three weeks, the newly grown beard hairs may start to naturally shed and fall out, which is a normal part of the transplantation process. As the shedding occurs, new hair will grow to replace the lost ones.

Your surgeon will provide guidance on various aftercare measures that need to be followed.

• Do not make contact with your beard for the initial 5 days following the treatment.
• After the first day, it is okay to wash your face but avoid washing the area where the beard was transplanted. Remember not to vigorously rub your face dry, but instead gently pat it.
• Do not go swimming in a pool for a period of four weeks following the procedure.
• In order to prevent a higher chance of swelling, it is recommended to sleep on your back with your head raised during the initial week.
