Beard and mustache transplant

Almost half of men’s beards are neither complete nor equal. In many cases, beards show bald areas, are sparse or completely absent with no moustache. Beard transplant is a solution to this problem, it allows to overcome the lack of hair in certain areas of the beard and to improve the shape of the beard. The loss and localized lack of facial hair is quickly noticed when the hair grows, which is often an aesthetical issue for men who want to wear the beard. Beard transplant allows patients to create/complete their beard, their sideburns as well as their moustache for a more masculine appearance.

Although beard trends are numerous and changing, the desire to have a beard or moustache will always be there for many men. Today, facial hair has become the almost indispensable accessory of modern men. Because it is a highly visible component of the face, its shape must be precise and aesthetically pleasing. Beard transplantation is recommended to men who are unsatisfied with their beard density because of natural beard gaps (patchy beard), a scar resulting from trauma or the total absence of beard. Beard transplant uses the same processes as hair transplant, except that only follicular units with one hair are grafted to be similar to beard or moustache hair. The first shave (shaving machine) is possible 45 days after the transplant. Here are more details about the procedure and the specificities of this treatment area.

What happens during FUE beard transplant

Hair preparation

The donor area is washed and shaved, usually on the sides or back of the head from ear to ear. Local anaesthesia is administered to avoid any pain or discomfort to the patient. The extraction of follicular units is then used to carry out the transplant: a micro-punch will initially be used to extract the grafts.

Follicular Unit Extraction

Follicular units are extracted using a micro-punch (a little less than a millimetre in diameter) and then sorted according to the number of hairs they contain. The hair extraction stage of the procedure lasts one to three hours depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted.

Follicular unit implantation

The edges of the beard are drawn in cases where the beard has to be extended or entirely created. The grafts are implanted with an implanter pen to reproduce the natural pattern of the beard, its density and the angle of hair growth. The graft implantation stage of the procedure is one to three hours long.

FAQ

When can we judge the result of a beard transplant ?

Follicular units are implanted in different locations of the treatment area depending on the number of hairs they have in order to achieve a natural and pleasant appearance. After hair regrowth, it is impossible to tell the difference between the transplanted hair and hair that was already there, which is why beard transplant has a very high satisfaction rate.

During the first few weeks following a beard transplant, most of the transplanted hair falls. It then enters the resting phase. Regrowth usually begins 6 to 12 weeks later. After 6 months, hairs will have grown from one to two centimetres and will continue to grow until one year after the procedure. The result of the transplant can therefore be seen 9 to 12 months after the procedure.
