What is a Beard Transplant?

Beard transplant is an aesthetic procedure performed on individuals who have no beard or sparse beard in the facial area. In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are taken from the nape area and transplanted to the beard area using the FUE method. In order to achieve a natural look, the follicles are transferred to the area according to the facial structure and the natural growth direction of the beard. This allows individuals to have beards of the desired density and shape.

For Whom is a Beard Transplant Recommended?

A beard transplant offers a very natural looking result. This has made it one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures among  men today.

Why Doesn’t the Beard Grow Fully?

The most common reason for the insufficient growth of the beard is genetic factors. Hormonal imbalances can also cause little or no beard growth in some individuals. Testosterone deficiency or sensitivity can affect beard growth. Lifestyle factors such as stress, malnutrition and smoking can also have an adverse affect on beard growth.

In addition to these, skin conditions such as scars, burns or alopecia may be responsible for the lack of beard growth in some areas.

At What Age Beard Development is Completed?

Beards usually start to grow during puberty. Facial hair thickens and becomes more obvious due to the effects of testosterone. This enables the beard growth process to be completed at the age of 20. Although beard growth continues in some individuals until the age of 25, the beard is not usually expected to change after the age of 25. Therefore, individuals over the age of 25 who wish to have a fuller beard can apply for aesthetic procedures such as a beard transplant if their health conditions are suitable.

Some individuals’ beards grow in patches, and areas of relatively high and low beard density can create an asymmetric facial look. This problem is usually caused by genetic factors. However, hormones and nutritional problems may also play an important role in the development of patchy beards.

  • Give your beards time to reach sufficient length.

  • Take supplements that are important for hair health, such as biotin, if you can’t get them enough from your diet.
  • Avoid excessive stress.
