For many men, the ability to grow a thick, even beard or mustache can be elusive, leading to frustration. Fortunately, beard and mustache transplants offer an effective solution to facial hair loss, giving you the look you desire and boosting your confidence. Whether you're experiencing patchy growth or struggling with thin facial hair, this procedure can help you achieve the full, natural look you’ve always wanted.
What Is a Beard and Mustache Transplant?
A beard and mustache transplant is a non-surgical procedure where hair follicles are moved from the donor area (typically the back of the head) to the recipient areas, such as the chin and mustache. This method allows for natural-looking facial hair growth.
Techniques for Beard and Mustache Transplants
The process for a beard or mustache transplant is similar to a hair transplant. However, the DHI technique is the most commonly used method. Here are the three main techniques:
DHI Technique: Hair follicles are extracted using a Micro Motor tool and implanted into the recipient area using a CHOI Implanter Pen. The doctor can open a channel and implant the follicle simultaneously with one click. This takes 6-8 hours to transplant up to 3,500 follicles.
Mega DHI Technique: Uses CHOI pens to transplant up to 7,000 follicles over two sessions, giving the beard a denser appearance.
Extremely DHI Technique: Similar to the DHI technique but allows up to 5,000 follicles to be transplanted over a longer session (12-15 hours).
Who Is a Good Candidate for Beard and Mustache Transplants?
To be eligible for a beard and mustache transplant, you should meet the following criteria:
You have an incomplete or patchy beard.
You are in good general health.
You have healthy hair in the donor area.
You are at least 25 years old.
You have no skin conditions that could interfere with the transplant.
Pre-Transplant Instructions
Before your procedure, follow these steps for the best results:
Avoid alcohol for at least one week before surgery.
Stop smoking for two weeks before the procedure.
Avoid blood thinners like green tea and certain medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen).
Follow a healthy, balanced diet to reduce the risk of complications.
Steps of Beard and Mustache Transplantation
The procedure is similar to scalp hair transplantation and follows these steps:
Clinical Examination: The doctor examines the donor area and the beard areas to determine the number of grafts needed.
Medical Tests: Blood and skin tests are done to ensure the patient is fit for the procedure.
Preparation: The donor area is shaved, and local anesthesia is administered.
Harvesting Follicles: Hair follicles are extracted and placed in a saline solution to keep them healthy until implantation.
Implantation: Follicles are implanted using CHOI pens, opening channels and inserting the follicles in one step.
Post-Transplant Instructions
For a successful recovery and healthy beard growth, follow these guidelines after your transplant:
Keep your head elevated.
Avoid getting the transplanted area wet for at least 72 hours.
Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for 15 days.
Stay away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity for a month.
Avoid swimming in the sea for 3 months and pools for 2 months.
Refrain from smoking for at least 2 months.
Avoid saunas or Turkish baths for one month.
Consider PRP treatment to strengthen the implanted follicles.
Follow all medication and treatment plans prescribed by your doctor.
Refrain from sexual activity for a week.
Protect the implanted area from rain and dust to prevent damage.
With proper care and adherence to your doctor's advice, you can achieve natural-looking, healthy beard and mustache growth.
