BEARD TRANSPLANT

Beard transplantation uses the same procedures as hair transplantation. It can be done by taking hair (by FUE or FUT method) or directly from another part of the beard (by FUE method only). Then, the follicular units (FU) are transplanted to the beard according to the plan defined beforehand. These FU are selected (FU of 1 hair) to be similar to beard or mustache hair.

Important point : Beard transplantation is possible by transferring native beard hair to a bald area. However, it is imperative to take into account the risk of scarring when taking hair from the face.

• Shock loss: This is a temporary loss of hair near the treatment areas. Fortunately, this phenomenon is rare.
• Insufficient result: this may be linked to a low density of grafts (either due to a lack of grafts or insufficient uptake of the implanted grafts) linked to poor uptake of the grafts or insufficient implantation (low density).
• Folliculitis: Rarely, a skin infection may occur in the implantation area or the donor site. Treatment is with local care and/or antibiotics.
• Epidermal cysts: These are small, millimeter-sized subcutaneous lumps that can appear in the areas of surgery. They are eliminated spontaneously or through minor ablative surgery.
• Scars: In addition to hypertrophic and keloid scars, which are rare in this area, it is important to understand that all surgery leaves a small scar. In FUE, these are sub-millimeter micro-scars. In FUT, the scar may widen vertically (stretch back).
