Moustache and Beard Transplant - Hair Transplantation

Moustache and Beard Transplant

Facial hair have been considered as a symbol of masculinity since time immemorial. Men who suffer with lack in growth of facial hair often opt for Moustache and Beard transplant procedures. These procedures help restore natural hair on face.

Facial hair transplantation is a hair transplant procedure which restores hair to areas where facial hair growth is thin or missing. While this procedure is most commonly performed on the goatee and mustache areas, it can also be performed on beards, sideburns and cheeks.

How is Moustache and Beard Transplant performed?

The classic technique involves removing a strip of hair at the back of the scalp (FUT). Under the microscope hairs are isolated one by one, meaning follicles are divided in two or three parts. The implant then takes place in fine incisions of approximately 0.7 to 0.8 mm.

The hair used comes from the scalp as this hair resembles the original beard hair the most. It is hard to find body hair that is as thick as beard or moustache hair. Beard or moustache hair has an interesting property: it always grows individually. The hair follicle also contains one hair, while head hair in 95% of all cases grows in small groups of two to three hairs.
