At Medinor, beard transplants are conducted using the FUE, Follicular Unit Extraction procedure. Trained members of the team have put together the following comprehensive guides on what to expect, what will happen, and follow up care.

The first set of guidelines starts with the preparation you need to do before you come for the procedure, broken down into actions for the weeks and days before the procedure, right up to the night before.
The second guidelines take you through the FUE procedure from start to finish, answering questions you may not even have thought of.
The third set of guidelines are an aftercare plan of what you can do and shouldn't be doing to ensure the best results possible.

It all starts with an assessment from an experienced doctor. Following this, your doctor will discuss the next steps with you, creating achievable goals for the beard you want to have.

Whenever hair transplant is mentioned, there is an automatic assumption that it’s for baldness. Most people also think a hair transplant is just for the head. However, there are several forms of hair transplants, mainly due to the fact that humans experience hair loss in different ways and for a variety of reasons.

Fashion trends come and go, as does the styling of beards, from full and bushy to a mere shadow. Some psychologists believe an alpha-male hair-off triggers the trends for beards! One man sees another, and hey, competition is underway to prove you can have a better beard than him! Unfortunately, for several reasons, not all men can successfully grow a beard or grow the one they want. Fortunately, technology and skills in the medical profession have expanded considerably, with several viable options now being available in beard transplantation.

Wanting a beard is a personal decision and an important one. Beards are part of the maturing process from boy to man but not all facial hair grows the same, and there are several reasons for this including:

Ethnicity, race and your genetic makeup
Location – where you were brought up and where you live
Hormones
Personal choices – including diet, drinking & smoking
Accident or injury to the beard area
Alopecia
Burn scars

Beard transplantation is the way forward to get the beard you want, despite the reasons you are struggling.

The Beard Transplantation Procedure

Beard transplantation or beard reconstruction are the terms used to facilitate the growth of a beard. The same technique is employed as with a hair transplant to the scalp. The procedure of choice for a beard transplant is the FUE technique. This is a surgical technique undertaken by a trained medical team working with an experienced hair transplant surgeon.

The FUE technique involves extracting hair using a specialised tool called a micro-motor punch. The hair can be taken from the scalp or chest. In your assessment, the doctor will have discussed with you the hair follicles required and where he feels the best viable options are.

The number of hair follicles required is dependent on the density and size of the beard wanted. The extracted follicles are carefully implanted into the beard area. Prior to this, the surgeon makes minute incisions in the target area to make sure the hair grafts will fit. The insertion of the extracted follicles is a delicate process. They have to be inserted at an angle for an optimal natural growth pattern to occur. The process can take up to five hours or more.

It is not a case of just taking any of your hair. The selection is carefully made as the donor hair for your beard needs to have the correct colour and texture to ensure it resembles your original hair and looks natural. The more follicles required, the more difficult the selection can be.

In Summary

Still thinking you want a beard? Initially, spend some time considering what it is you want. Then visit an established, reputable clinic and consult with a specialist who will be able to tell you if a beard transplant is possible or not. There may be other options to consider, like lifestyle changes, which you may have to consider if you want the beard transplant to succeed. This is the occasion to discuss how realistic your expectations are and how much can be achieved – possibly more than you think!

This is also the time you will be clearly told what the procedure entails and what to expect after – information like an inevitable percentage loss of transplanted hair. This is perfectly normal within the parameters of the procedure.

A beard transplant can take a few hours, but the recovery time is fast. This is due to the beard transplantation being of minimal intrusiveness. There will, however, be some redness and maybe a little tenderness around the transplant area. You must follow your surgeon’s instructions on the aftercare of your transplanted hair, to the letter, to ensure the best results.
