Beard Transplantation

I got 99 problems, but my beard ain’t one with Esthetic Hair Thailand 

 

The beard has been a major part of many cultures and has long represented masculinity and self-confidence. In addition, studies have shown that women find bearded men more attractive and reliable. Every man in the world has tried to grow a beard, but some men can’t grow a beard at all, or can’t grow a full beard.

The inability to grow a full beard can have many reasons. Some men can’t grow a beard for genetic reasons. For example, if your father and grandfather had patchy beards or no beard at all, it is more likely that you too will grow an uneven beard. It may also be due to age, as men start growing facial hair at puberty. However, some men take longer to grow a full beard. Therefore, it is recommended to wait until the age of 25 to determine what type of beard you have.

Believe it or not, it's been proven that ethnicity plays a big role in facial hair growth rate! Studies have shown that men from America, Mexico and China tend to have less facial hair compared to men from other parts of the world.

Alopecia Areata is one of the reasons that cause hair loss on the scalp and face. Alopecia Areata is a disease in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out.

The hormone testosterone is associated with hair growth, and if the testosterone level in the body is low, you can expect difficulties with beard growth. A balanced lifestyle, healthy diet and good habits in general help the body develop and increase testosterone levels.

The beard transplant procedure gives those who desire a full beard the hope of getting what they have long dreamed of. Read on to learn more about this procedure, how it is performed, its benefits and aftercare. 

 

What is Beard Transplantation?

Beard transplantation is a procedure that is self-explanatory, it focuses on the beard that includes the jawline, chin and lower part of the face. This procedure is intended for those who wish to have a full beard and are unable to grow a beard due to genetic reasons, scars, stress or other factors that affect hair growth.

In beard transplants, the FUE method is mainly used, in which the doctor selects the best donor area for the extraction of hair follicles and their implantation in the face where you want to grow a beard.

After determining the best donor area for harvesting, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The follicles taken from the donor area are implanted into the recipient area according to the agreed beard shape and design.

In short, the beard transplant procedure treats hair loss in the beard area in men and helps them boost their confidence and achieve the desired look. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any discomfort during the procedure.

 

Who is Suitable for Beard Transplantation? 

Before you decide to have a beard transplant, you need to check whether you are eligible for the procedure or not. If you are wondering whether it is harmful to undergo beard transplantation in your early 20s, it is not. However, it is recommended to be more patient and wait until you are 25 or 30 years old to know your hair type and its texture.

The doctor runs a few tests to check blood sugar, blood pressure, any infections, and health in general. The other tests are used to find a donor area in the body that has stable hair growth, so that the follicle collection goes smoothly.

 

Beard Transplant Procedures

The beard transplant procedure goes through several steps before it gives you the desired result. It is important to understand that each step is equally important and has a great impact on the final result.

 

  - Preparation

When preparing for the procedure, you need to consider some points that will help you to have a safe procedure

• If you drink alcohol, you should stop it at least 3 days before the procedure, because alcohol slows down the healing phase and can increase bleeding during the procedure.
• Blood thinning medications such as aspirin must be discontinued at least a week or two before beard transplantation. If you are taking other medications that you can’t stop, you must inform your doctor.
• Do not smoke at least 3 days before the procedure, because substances such as nicotine and tar slow down the healing phase and thus the result!

 

  - Processing Phase

Once the preparations are complete, you are ready for the procedure, and you will be more comfortable if you know what the steps are and what the doctor will do. Here is a simple explanation of how the beard transplant is performed.

• Shaving; The first step is to shave the donor area to have a better view of the follicles to be harvested.
• Extracting: After shaving, graft harvesting begins and all harvested follicles are stored in a liquid to preserve the follicles until implantation.
• Preparing and Implanting: When the FUE method is used, the recipient area is prepared for implantation of the follicles by shaving it and making incisions. However, if the DHI method was preferred, implantation is performed directly without preparing the recipient area.

 

 - Post Processing

The post-treatment phase is very important as it focuses on following the doctor's instructions to avoid undesirable consequences and see the results quickly and smoothly.

• Limit your activities: it is advisable to stock up on all the necessities instead of running here and there to get your things with your freshly implanted beard. This could slow down the healing phase.
• Avoid lying down: This is perhaps one of the most difficult steps in the post-treatment phase, but it is very important to avoid any kind of swelling. For the first three days you should keep an elevated position and avoid any horizontal position, even when sleeping.
• Avoid stress and intense physical activities: In order to achieve a smooth and short healing period, you should avoid any kind of stress and do not engage in intense sports, otherwise you may experience bleeding, which will complicate the healing process and have other undesirable side effects.

• Keep your beard clean and apply your antibiotics: It is important that you keep your beard clean and do not apply direct water pressure, but it must be cleaned gently and the prescribed antibiotics must be applied to the area,
• Confirm before you shave: there will be plenty of time to shave your beard, but it’s important to confirm with your doctor before you have your first post-procedure shave.  

 

What are the Advantages of Beard Transplantation?

It's as clear as the sun that beard transplantation has one main goal, a full-grown, healthy beard. But of course, there are some advantages that improve the result and make the beard look like never before.

• Natural Look: The final result of beard transplantation looks completely natural, with no scars or patchiness on the beard. However, a recent study has shown that about 90% of those who have undergone beard transplantation were satisfied with the final result.
• Minimally invasive and quick recovery: it's true that a beard transplant procedure is considered plastic surgery, but it's a minimally invasive procedure and doesn't require a long recovery time. Within a week, the patient can resume his life.
• Lifelong results: One of the main points that encourage people to undergo this procedure is the fact that unlike some other plastic surgeries, the results actually last a lifetime.

Beard Transplant Recovery Process

Beard transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure and therefore requires only a short recovery time. Many men resume their jobs and work life within 3 days, but it is recommended to take 7 to 14 days to recover, especially because the procedure is performed on the face. After two weeks, you can resume your normal life, but avoid shaving or trimming your beard until it is the third week or your doctor allows you to do so.

After the first shave, it may happen that the grown hairs fall out, which is completely normal, because after falling out, the new permanent hairs will grow. For a smooth process you should do the following:

• Avoid touching your beard at all costs, especially for the first 5 days.
• Avoid swimming for 4 weeks after the procedure.
• Keep your head elevated and raised to avoid swelling.

 

Beard Transplant Results

Before undergoing any procedure, you should be aware  that all plastic surgeries take some time to produce results, and patience is the first step towards your goal.

Depending on your hair type, the reasons for the patchy or ingrown beard, and the pattern of hair loss, the doctor may tell you his expectations and when you will see the final result. However, it takes about 9 to 12 months for you to have a full-grown beard.

 

 - Tips for Faster Results

Here are some tips that will help you speed up the healing process and to steer clear of any unwanted consequences:

• Stop smoking/alcohol consumption before and after the surgeries. It has been proven that tobacco and tar, which are usually found in cigarettes, can slow down the healing process.
• Stay away from intense exercise as this increases the risk of bleeding.
• Do not touch the implanted area for at least the first 5 days to avoid the risk of infection.
• Keep the implanted area dry and do not pour water, as water pressure could negatively affect the healing phase.
