Beard Transplant
A prevalent problem among men is the inability to grow facial hair, which can also be attributed to scarring or hereditary. If you are someone who has thin or patchy facial hair, facial scars, or both, a beard hair transplant might be the best option for you. A beard transplant is an extremely specialized procedure, and the practitioner's skill level has a significant impact on the outcome. We can assure you that the results will meet or beyond your expectations as we are the most skilled beard transplant specialists.
What is a Beard Transplant?
Simply said, a beard transplant involves taking hair from one area of the body and transplanting it to another area of the face, usually the jawline or any other area where the beard is having trouble growing. The process of a beard transplant is similar to that of a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, in which individual hair follicles are extracted from donor scalp regions and grafted onto other scalp locations. After being removed from the scalp, the hair is then placed in the desired location within the beard. Individual hair follicles are extracted during the hair removal procedure using a specialized equipment that leaves little scars. They are then examined under a microscope in order to be ready for implantation into your face.
You can have a beard transplant if you don't have any facial hair, such as sideburns, a goatee, or a mustache. Your surgeon will locate your donor location by looking at the back or side of your head during the procedure. You will extract hair for your face from this location. For a beard transplant, finer hair is typically required.
What Causes Beard Loss
Loss of beard contributes to social and psychological issues as well as visual pain. The beard falls for a variety of reasons that impact its quality.
Hormone imbalances.
Low level of testosterone.
Bruises and wounds.
Several skin conditions.
Genetic components.
To ascertain the reason behind the decline, first consult your specialist if your beard is dropping. In particular, metabolic and hormonal problems have a major impact on the beard. The best option for a thick beard that yet looks natural is a beard transplant if the loss of beard is irreversible.

Beard transplant process
With a beard transplant, patients who want to balance out their facial hair or who have never grown facial hair due to genetics or previous skin traumas can use their own hair to create a natural-looking moustache or beard. The doctors at La Esthetiques are all extremely skilled in their field, meticulous in their execution of even the most challenging procedures, and attentive to even the tiniest details. You could expect the following during the course of the treatment:
Hair follicles from donors are removed and placed in the intended area.
When performing beard hair transplants, we select the appropriate blades depending on the hair follicles of each patient individually.
FUE beard transplants are done under local anesthetic and take three to five hours to complete, depending on the quantity of grafts required.
Beard transplant recovery
Beard transplants are frequently completed in a single session; however, the precise number of sessions needed depends largely on the needs of the individual patient. Each session, using a local anesthetic, can run up to five hours on its own. On the other hand, the healing process happens a few weeks following your beard transplant and is quite quick and painless. The holes that have been put to your face should scab over, however these scabs usually fall off after a few days at most.
The freshly transplanted facial hairs will fall out after three or four weeks, and a new beard will begin to grow in their place. It's feasible that you will have grown out your beard into a full mane within the following six months. After getting a beard transplant, you might have some scarring, but it should be minimal and hidden by your stubble or beard. It's important to understand that scarring could appear following a beard transplant.
