Confidence, sophistication, and masculinity have now been defined by a thick and well-maintained beard. Not all men are born with the capability of growing a full beard (due to sparse, inconsistent, or non-existent facial hair). There is now a solution, using current technology, to grow your dream beard using a full beard transplant.
Through techniques such as FUE, you can rest assured that you will have a full, long-lasting, and realistic beard that suits your face. In addition to improving your overall aesthetic, a full beard transplant can improve your self-confidence when looking in the mirror at a sharp, groomed look to match your individual aesthetic.
Why Some Men Struggle with Beard Growth
Genetics and hormones are major factors influencing beard growth. Some men will see their beard take longer to grow than others, others may have gaps which will affect how they look on the whole. There are also many things which can result in poor beard growth; for example, scarring, hormone levels and lifestyle factors.
A full beard transplant, however, will offer a forever solution to people who experience these problems with poor beard growth by providing a natural-looking beard that is permanently attached rather than having to continually use temporary solutions such as fillers and grooming tips.
What Is a Full Beard Transplant?
A full beard transplant is an aesthetic procedure for replacing hair on the face using healthy hair root units from another area of the patient's body (commonly taken from the back of their head). These hair follicles are placed in such a way during the transplant that they will naturally resemble and already grow on the skin surrounding the area receiving hair.
The most advanced methods are utilized when performing these procedures and usually consist of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which helps to minimize scarring and reduce downtime after surgery. After placement, the new hair will continue to grow as if it were naturally occurring; the hair can be shaved, cut, and styled, as the patient desires.
How the Procedure Works
Overall, the process of completing a full beard transplant includes four phases:
Consultation: The specialist will examine the shape of your face and the texture of your hair, along with your desired style of beard.
Donor Hair Extraction: Hair follicular units will be extracted from the donor site (a dense area of hair on the back of your head).
Implantation: The hair follicular units will be carefully implanted in order to form a natural pattern on your face (the facial area) for a full beard.
Regeneration will begin as the patient starts a complete natural growth cycle. After several months of being transplanted, new hair will grow in the previously bare patches.
The talent and artistry of Dr. John Kahen play a vital role in the successful growth of a new beard, as the hair follicle units must be placed precisely in order to achieve consistent alignment, density and direction throughout the area to which the beard has been transplanted.
Benefits of a Full Beard Transplant
Among the many long-lasting benefits to getting a complete beard transplant are:
Natural Appearance. Transplanted hair will blend seamlessly with existing hair; and looks like natural growth.
Lifelong Solution. In terms of recovery after getting a full beard transplant, patients should expect some mild redness and swelling for a few days, but this will completely subside in time. It's also common for your newly transplanted hair to fall out at first (don't worry, this is normal); however, after about 34 months, you'll see signs of new growth, with full results taking a total of 8-12 months.
Patience is crucial during this time because following proper post-procedure care guidelines will lead to the best overall results along with the healthiest hair growth.
Ideal Candidates for Beard Transplant
There are many reasons you may qualify for a beard transplant, including:
If you suffer from patchy beard or irregular beard growth
If you do not currently have enough density in your beard
If you have scars or empty areas in your beard
If you have natural hair on your head to use as a donor for your beard.
Is It Worth It?
For many men, a full beard transplant is a life-changing investment. In addition to improving your appearance, it gives you great self-esteem and confidence. Unlike other ways to groom that may only have temporary results, this treatment will give you permanent results that will change naturally as time goes by.
Summary
Beard transplantation surgery is an ideal and safe way to achieve a full and thick beard. Men who lack sufficient facial hair, or have patchy, or uneven, hair growth on their face, can turn to beard transplantation for a defined and healthy looking beard. The procedure utilizes your own, natural hair follicles, applied to the face using expert technology, resulting in a full beard that looks completely natural to your existing hair growth. It is important to find an experienced and fully trained surgeon, whose precision in the application of hair follicles is key to achieving natural results. Post surgery aftercare is also vital for successful healing and long lasting results.
The time has now come to gain that desired, thick, healthy and shaped beard. With correct care and patience, you can soon obtain the appearance you have always wished for, and have the confidence and good looks associated with a well groomed appearance.
