A beard transplant, also called beard implantation, restores hair to areas where beard growth is sparse or absent. If genetics, age or something else has left you with less facial hair than you would like, a beard transplant may be the answer. Adding hair to the face works in much the same way as a scalp hair transplant. At the Hyaluskin Centre in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence — close to Arles, Avignon, Salon-de-Provence and Martigues, at the foot of the Alpilles — the team carries out beard transplants.
What is a beard transplant and how does it work?
A beard transplant involves taking hair from the occipital region of the scalp, where it is genetically programmed not to fall out. Those hairs are then moved, usually one at a time, using the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) or FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, to their new place in the beard. The process is similar to a scalp transplant; what differs is the recipient site, and the angles and direction in which the hair grows there.
Who is a beard transplant for?
To be a candidate, you need enough donor hair to transplant. That matters because the hair comes from the same source as a scalp transplant — the occipital region at the back of the head.
The team begins by listening to how you want your beard to look. The donor area is then assessed and the approximate number of grafts needed is estimated. The DHI or FUE method is chosen accordingly.
Most patients opt for DHI or FUE because, unlike FUT, they leave no linear scar, which means you can wear your hair short at any time without a visible scar. With FUE and DHI, the hairs are first extracted as grafts. Recipient sites are then created using an implanter known as a Choi pen, and the harvested hairs are placed into those sites one by one.
What are the risks and complications of a beard transplant?
The possible risks and complications include hair set at the wrong angle, small bumps forming, poor regrowth and the formation of cysts. The team takes the precautions needed to keep those risks low.
What is recovery like after a beard transplant?
As with any surgical procedure, bleeding, swelling and bruising are possible after a beard transplant. The most important precaution during recovery is to keep the grafted hair dry for the first five days. That allows the grafts to settle in the right orientation and to grow.
After about two to three weeks, the shafts of the transplanted hairs usually shed. Regrowth begins after 3 to 6 months, and the final result is assessed at 1 year. You can shave the beard after ten days. Antibiotics are provided.
What results can a beard transplant give?
A beard transplant can give a fuller, better-defined beard that looks natural and lasts for many years. The team works to a result that is in proportion with your face and matches what you discussed.
