Brief us about the treatment and the procedure… 

The first and the most important aspect in a  beard transplant is to assess and understand the final beard pattern which the patient is interested in having. This is important as hair follicles may be limited in the donor area. Once the beard shape has been discussed and finalized, plans are made to harvest hair follicles from areas which will be kept shaven eg. the neck area. Hair can also be harvested from the scalp but the texture and thickness of the scalp hair is significantly different from beard hair.

 All requisite pre surgery tests including hormonal tests are undertaken so as to not miss out on any hormonal reasons for beard hair sparcity. Once the patient has been cleared to undergo the procedure, local anaesthesia is infiltrated in the donor area. This is to make the procedure painless as well as reduce bleeding during the surgery. Hair follicles with their roots are then harvested either using hand instruments or mechanized  from the pre marked donor areas and are stored in cool saline.

Slits are created and the harvested grafts are placed in the slits in such a way that the hair when growing will the direction of natural hair growth.
