Beard and Mustache Transplant
Growing a full beard or mustache can be difficult for some men due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or scarring. Beard and mustache transplantation offers a permanent solution by transferring hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to the facial area where hair growth is desired. This non-surgical procedure can help men achieve a thicker, more defined beard and mustache.
Beard and mustache transplantation shares many similarities with scalp hair transplantation, but it is tailored specifically for facial hair.
Beard and Mustache Transplant Techniques
Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area and implanted into the beard or mustache region. This technique allows for precise placement, ensuring natural-looking results and minimal scarring.
This Using a Choi Implanter Pen, hair follicles are directly implanted into the facial area, allowing the surgeon to control the angle, depth, and direction of each hair follicle for a more natural appearance.
For those seeking a fuller beard or mustache, the Mega DHI technique allows for the implantation of up to 7,000 hair follicles over two sessions, significantly enhancing the density of facial hair.
Candidates for Beard and Mustache Transplantation
The ideal candidates for this procedure typically:
• Have sparse or patchy facial hair and desire a fuller beard or mustache.
• Are in good overall health with sufficient donor hair on the scalp.
• Have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure.
