Advanced Procedures to Restore Your Beards

It is quite funny how trends change. One day we are wearing baggy jeans the next day it’s about tight jeans. The same applies to how we style our hair. A few years down the line, it meant shaving their faces clean, and now it’s all about thick facial hair! We’ve got to go with what trends throw at us. If you are blessed with thick facial hair, you will be the envy of the town. With thick beards trending right now, many look for ways to increase their facial hair and make it thick. Unfortunately, as much as every man wants to have a bushy beard, not all of them can grow dense facial hair. The good news that a single surgery can change all that. That procedure is known as facial hair transplant. This post will explain the various ways available to transform yourself by having a beard transplant. Read on for more information. 

The other good news is that the procedure involved in having a facial hair transplant is quite painless, all thanks to cutting edge technology. However, there are a few things that you may need to consider before having a beard transplant. Let’s look at some of these factors and what they mean to those wishing to have a facial hair transplant. 

The Cost of a Beard Transplant 

The price one has to pay to have a full beard transplant is about $4,000 to $6,000, which isn’t cheap. Many things determine the price of a facial hair transplant. One of them is the facility you have chosen to perform the procedure. If you want to get the best results that will guarantee you thick beards for a lifetime, the above price quote is reasonable. Those offering shoddy services will go lower than that. Another factor that affects the cost of having a beard transplant is the doctor's experience who will perform the procedure. You need to seek services from a surgeon who has enough experience to do a great job. Dr. John Kahen from Beverly Hills Hair Restoration Clinic is one of the best hair transplant doctors in Los Angeles. He charges $10 per transplanted graft.

How is the Beard Transplant Procedure Done 

If pain is what’s keeping you from having a beard transplant, then you should know that technology has made it pain-free to have a beard transplant. The procedure works when the surgeon performing the treatment harvests hair follicles from the donor area. This is the area where hair is available in plenty to supply healthy hair grafts. The hair grafts are then implanted into the area with hair loss, which is the beard area. The angle, position, and orientation of the hair grafts are crucial in ensuring good results. The procedure aims to have the implanted grafts look as natural as possible. Frequent trimming of implanted hair grafts is important to help the new healthy hair grow fast. 

Is the Beard Transplant Treatment Invasive? 

Using the latest technique of harvesting hair grafts called the ARTAS Robot technique makes the procedure minimally invasive. The process involves the surgical team extracting hair follicles out of the donor area without making any incisions or using a scalpel. This means that beard transplant is not invasive. 

What About the Recovery Period After Having a Beard Transplant? 

The procedure will take up to 8 hours to complete. However, the patient should expect new hair to grow in the beard area after several weeks. The path to recovery is also painless if proper care is taken to keep away infections. Within a week or ten days, the patient may start shaving his beards after the transplant. 

Who is Eligible for the Beard Transplant Treatment? 

For a patient to have a beard transplant, he needs to be above 25 years. The reason being that anyone below this age is physically and emotionally immature. Hormonal tests should be done first to any patient to get to the beard area's root of hair loss. The patient should not have a long history of balding running in their family. A dark-skinned person should not undergo this procedure due to the high chances of hypertrophic scarring. 

Conclusion 

Facial hair, especially beards, are becoming popular by the day, and many men want to have dense beards below their chin as it makes them feel macho and strong-willed as a man. Studies have also shown that many women prefer bearded men as they portray a sense of security and protection. Therefore, before having a beard surgery, you need to consult your doctor to see if you ate the right candidate for the beard transplant treatment.
