Beard Transplant

A “Beard Transplant” is a cosmetic procedure in which hair follicles are harvested from one part of the body (usually the back of the scalp, called the donor site) and transplanted to the facial area to enhance or create a fuller beard. It’s a popular option for men who have patchy facial hair, scarring, or simply want a thicker beard for aesthetic reasons.

Procedure Overview

• Consultation

1. 1. •  A surgeon evaluates your hair type, density, and desired outcomes.

• Harvesting Hair Follicles

1. 1. • Typically done using either FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) methods.
      • In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted.
      • In FUT, a strip of scalp skin is removed, and follicles are extracted from it.

• Implanting Hair Follicles

1. 1. • Tiny incisions are made in the facial skin where the beard hair will grow.
      • The harvested follicles are meticulously implanted in these incisions to mimic natural hair growth patterns.

• Recovery

1. • Mild swelling, redness, or scabbing around the implant and donor sites is normal.
   • Transplanted hairs often shed within a few weeks (this is normal), after which permanent hair growth begins.

Advantages

• Permanent Results: Once the transplanted follicles settle, the beard grows naturally and can be shaved or styled.
• Natural Look: When done by a skilled surgeon, the results are indistinguishable from a natural beard.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Healing: Full recovery takes about 1–2 weeks.
• New Growth: Visible growth starts 3–4 months after the procedure.
• Final Results: Fully developed beard usually appears after 9–12 months.

Risks and Side Effects

• Scarring (though minimal with FUE).
• Infection or inflammation.
• Temporary shock loss (shedding of existing hairs).
• Uneven growth if not performed by an experienced surgeon.

Cost

Beard Transplants typically range from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on location, the extent of the procedure, and the surgeon’s expertise. But in SHIFA we provide you a perfect Beard Transplant much chipper.
