Beard transplant performed with hair transplant
If the person undergoes beard transplantation simultaneously with hair transplantation, the sufficiency of the number of hair follicles of the patient is considered. Chest hair can also be used if necessary. Since the hair follicles taken from this area will be used for both hair and facial hair, a proper planning should be made. The implantation is performed without damaging the Follicles taken. In addition, the follicles that are suitable for the beard should be implanted to the beard and the follicles that are suitable for the hair transplantation should be implanted to the hair. In this way, hair and beard transplantation can be performed simultaneously in 1 session.
Scabbing occurs 10 days after the beard transplantation and the planted follicles can be temporarily shed. This is an expected shedding, and on average between 4 and 8 months, the follicles shed in the beards grow again. Beard transplantation is a permanent practice, and the follicles implanted have lifetime permanence.
In the first stage, Consultation is done, Beard and mustachio front line is drawn and the areas where the implant will be carried out are determined. A blood test is performed and only a window-shaped portion of the back of the head (donor area) is shaved. It includes the procedures such as numbing the area where the hair follicles will be removed by using painless local anesthesia.
This stage involves the removal of hair follicles from the designated donor area. Hair follicles are removed with 0.7 or 0.8 mm punch tips with the help of a micro-motor and thus hair follicle removal process is carried out. Only the related stem cell is removed without damaging any other tissue. 1 hair follicle produces an average of 2.5 to 3 hair follicles. In beard or moustache transplantation, hair follicles between 2.000 and 4.500 are implanted. The hair follicles are collected and kept in a special solution.
This stage, that is, opening the channels, is the most important process of hair transplantation. After the local anesthesia process is completed, channel opening process is performed by the Specialist doctor only with ICE FUE method or by using sapphire end in the Sapphire method based on the thickness and depth of the hair follicles.
This is the stage of implanting individual hair follicles by hair implantation specialists into the channels that are opened by the Specialist doctor. Patience is very important during this process. It can be understood that this stage takes between 4 and 6 hours on average according to the number of hair follicles. During this process, television or music is switched on in the operation room to provide comfort for the patient. After the implant procedure is completed, the Specialist doctor provides the final checks and the area where the hair follicles are removed is covered with a small bandage. This bandage is removed the next day.
There is no need to stay in hospital after the beard transplantation. You will be discharged on the same day after beard transplantation.
Considering the method to be used in beard transplantation and the number of hair follicles to be implanted, it takes approximately 8 hours.
The best time for beard transplantation is the time when the patient feels psychologically and financially suitable and ready. In fact, in which season beard transplantation operation is performed is technically not so much important. beard transplantation is not preferred by most people as it is likely to be exposed to the sun in the summer.
Do not cut your hair with a machine, razor or sharp shaving device or any sharp object for 6 months after the operation. After the 1st month you can have your hair cut with scissors.
If you are smoking and using any other tobacco products, we advise you not to smoke/use for 1 week after the operation. This is because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. If you are not going to quit smoking, we recommend you to reduce the amount between 2 and 4 cigarettes per day. Otherwise the hair follicles may not hold on tight.
You cannot do fitness and heavy sports for 1 month after the operation. We recommend that you do not engage in sports activities exposing to impact, such as football or basketball, for 3 months.
After beard transplantation, we give a warranty certificate. We give a lifetime guarantee for the hairs we implant.
If you need second beard transplantation, after the 9th month, there is no harm in having beard transplantation again for more density.
