Beard Transplant at DOH Clinic

Beard transplantation is an aesthetic procedure that aims to achieve a denser and fuller beard appearance by transplanting to areas where beards do not grow or where they grow sparsely. This procedure is usually performed using techniques similar to hair transplantation, and the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is widely preferred. During the procedure, hair follicles taken from the back or sides of the person's head are transplanted to areas where beards do not grow.

The recovery process after a beard transplant usually varies between a few days and a few weeks. There may be slight redness, swelling or crusting in the first few days. It may take 6-12 months for the results to be fully seen. Beard transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires personalized planning.

Beard transplantation is an effective solution that is becoming increasingly popular, especially among men, and is preferred to achieve a natural and aesthetic appearance. The fact that beards are considered a masculine feature for men makes beard transplantation even more attractive. Here are some of the positive aspects of beard transplantation:

1. Natural Appearance: Since beard transplantation is performed using the person's own hair follicles, the result looks extremely natural. The transplanted hairs grow and can be shaped like other beards over time.

2. Permanent Solution: Beard transplantation is a permanent method, unlike temporary solutions. The transplanted roots are usually permanent and the risk of shedding is very low.

3. High Success Rate: Today, thanks to advanced techniques and expertise, the success rate of beard transplantation procedures is quite high. When the right center and specialist are chosen, the results are quite satisfactory.

4. Personalized Design: In beard transplantation, a special plan is made according to the person's facial structure and aesthetic preferences. This allows the creation of a natural beard line suitable for each individual's face.

5. Minimal Recovery Time: Since the procedure is generally a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery time is short. The person can return to their daily life within a few days.

6. Increased Self-Confidence: Beard transplantation is a powerful solution for people who have self-confidence problems due to missing or sparse beards. A new and full beard appearance can increase a person's self-confidence.

7. Completes Facial Aesthetics: A full beard highlights the facial features and provides a more attractive appearance in general. This is a great advantage, especially for individuals with aesthetic concerns.

1. Consultation and Planning: First, an expert will be consulted to evaluate whether you are suitable for a beard transplant. The doctor will determine where the transplant will be performed to preserve the natural appearance of your beard.

2. Extract of Hair Follicles from the Donor Area: Healthy hair follicles, usually taken from the back of the neck (donor area), are transplanted to the beard area. This procedure is performed with the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method.

3. Transplantation Procedure: The hair follicles taken are transplanted one by one by opening microchannels in the previously determined areas. During the transplantation, attention is paid to the natural beard growth direction.

4. Recovery Process: There may be slight swelling and redness after the transplantation procedure, but these symptoms disappear within a few days. The transplanted hair may fall out in the first few weeks, but this is normal and permanent hair begins to grow within a few months.

5. Results: The final results are usually fully visible after 6-12 months. During this period, the beard grows naturally and can be cut.

Beard transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia and the procedure time varies depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted.

Suitable candidates for beard transplantation should generally have the following characteristics:

1. Those with sparse or missing beard: People with sparse areas or missing beard due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, burns, injuries or surgical scars.

2. Those with Sufficient Hair Follicles in the Donor Area: Hair follicles for beard transplantation are usually taken from the donor area at the back of the head. Therefore, there must be a sufficient amount of quality hair follicles in the donor area.

3. Those with Healthy and Suitable Skin Structure: Having good skin health is important for the healing process and successful results. People with active skin diseases or infections should have these conditions treated first.

4. Those with Good General Health Status: People who do not have a chronic health problem or a condition such as blood clotting disorder are more suitable for beard transplantation. Diseases such as diabetes or hypertension should be under control.

5. Those with Realistic Expectations: Those with realistic expectations who know that beard transplant results require a process and that the final results will be seen after a few months.

6. Young Men Who Don't Have Enough Beard Growth: Beard transplants can also be an option for young men who don't have a full beard but want to enhance their beard appearance. However, some doctors recommend waiting until their early 20s for hormone levels to settle and for final beard growth to be completed.

It is important for people considering a beard transplant to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine if it is right for them.
