Beard and mustache transplant have become a popular trend in recent years. Although there are minor differences, the procedure is almost similar to hair transplant with DHI. People prefer beard and mustache transplant due to many aesthetic reasons.

The main reason for the transplant is that beard and mustache hair strands are sparse. The problem is resolved by placing hair follicles to specific parts. If an experienced specialist performs the transplantation, it is difficult to distinguish the transplanted area from other parts.

Some people suffer from scars due to hair breaks or surgeries, while others do not like the shape of their beard or mustache. Beard and mustache transplant are available for whatever type/shape the patient requires.

Besides, scars and burns that may occur due to various reasons, hormonal disorders and metabolic diseases may result in hair loss in the facial area. Before deciding on beard transplantation, the cause of the beard or mustache loss must be determined.The recommended age to have hair transplant operation is 22.

For the beard and mustache transplant, usually the nape (back of the neck) is the donor area. In some cases, doctors may prefer using body hair for the donor grafts. The DHI method is used for graft collection and plantation. Usually, around 3000 hair follicles give satisfactory results for beard transplant. 400-800 roots are sufficient for a mustache transplant and a hygienic environment is crucial for it to be successful. For this reason, all materials should be sterile.

Beard loss is genetic for some people, but for others, various conditions may cause this loss. Many factors are affecting the frequency and hair quality of the beard. However, hormonal causes are the leading ones. The lack of hormones that will develop and intensify the hair follicle is usually due to the genetic structure.

Beard transplant by FUE method is the process of collecting a sufficient amount of hair follicles from the donor area and placing the roots into the channels in the target area in accordance with the natural angle. Although other facial areas can be donors, grafts from the nape are usually a better option for a successful transplant.

In cases where the beard is not present, the planting of 1000 to 3000 roots can be sufficient to achieve the desired appearance. However, doctors may plant more roots according to the patient’s desires. You feel no pain as you will be under local anesthesia. There will be no scars after a beard transplant thanks to micro punches. Also, there is a possibility that acne-sized cysts may form in the region as a result of placing the hair follicles deeper. These dermoid cysts are frequent complications and heal in time.
