What is a beard transplant?

A beard transplant is like a hair transplant. The only difference is that it takes healthy hair follicles from the donor site (backside of the scalp) and transplants them to the jawline. It can be performed just like a hair transplant, i.e., by using two different techniques.

  1. Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)
  2. Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)

In most cases, however, only FUE hair transplant in Dubai is used. It leaves barely visible scarring, which can be easily hidden under the beard hair. The other technique leaves a long and linear scar at the donor site.

Moreover, the FUE technique requires each follicle to be placed into the recipient site individually. It allows the surgeon to design the beard carefully, and the results are more natural.

Beard Transplant Recovery

Typically, a beard hair transplant is performed using the FUE technique. It means the recovery period is not extended and virtually uneventful. Most patients don’t experience any severe pain or other side-effects after the procedure. However, some patients may experience minimal discomfort during this period.

The immediate side-effects of a beard transplant, like redness, swelling, etc., will vanish within a week after the transplant. Most patients can begin shaving as usual after 10 days.

One thing to be kept in mind is that the transplanted beard hair will fall out after 2-3 weeks. But post-transplant shedding is nothing to be worried about. It is mandatory, and only after the transplanted hair falls out will the new hair start growing. New hair growth begins after 3 months of a transplant.

Tips for Recovery Period

Even though a beard transplant is minimally invasive, it is a surgical procedure. It means there will be some minimal side-effects after the transplant. However, your surgeon will provide you with proper aftercare guidelines. If you follow those instructions carefully, your recovery period will be quick and discomfort-free.

We have shared some general guidelines for beard hair transplant in Dubai. You can follow these after your transplant and see the quick recovery.

Avoid Smoking

Smoking is injurious to health with or without a transplant. However, it can become quite problematic after a transplant. So, it should be avoided at all costs. Cigarettes contain nicotine and other elements that can affect natural blood flow in our bodies. They can also constrict the blood vessels making it difficult for blood to flow. As a result, fresh and oxygenated blood doesn’t reach the newly transplanted hair. They become weak and may not take roots. Ultimately, they will fall out, making the transplant unsuccessful.

No Alcoholic Beverages

Alcohol consumption should also be avoided for at least 2-3 weeks before and after the transplant. Unlike smoking, alcohol causes blood vessels to widen. As a result, the treated area becomes swollen, or swelling may persist for a more extended period. Alcohol can also cause blood-thinning. It leads to a reduced platelet activity, which makes it difficult to stop bleeding. Therefore, alcohol can only lead to mishaps and should be avoided.

Keep Well-Hydrated

Water can help in healing quickly. So, patients should keep themselves well-hydrated. They must drink enough water to recover quickly. An average adult should drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. So, patients must drink 8 or more glasses daily to recover as soon as possible.

Massage Regularly

After a week of transplant, the treatment area starts healing. At this point, patients can begin massaging the treatment area. With proper massages, blood flow is improved, which in turn, improves hair regrowth. Moreover, any scabs or crusts are also removed this way.

Rest Enough

A surgical procedure can take a toll on the body. To regain strength and recover quickly, patients must rest properly for at least 2 weeks after the transplant. Any heavy workout or exercise should be avoided for 2 weeks. Activities like swimming, running, and going to the gym should also be avoided. The more a patient rests, the quicker they will recover.

No Touching

The transplanted area should not be touched unnecessarily. If patients keep touching the treated area, the chances of infection will increase. Patients should not touch their faces except when washing. This way, they can avoid infection or other complications.

No Razors Only Scissors

Patients should not use a razor or a clipper for shaving the beard after transplant. For at least 3 months after the beard FUE hair transplant in Dubai, patients should shave using scissors only. A razor or a clipper can lead to irritation, which will damage the transplanted hair follicles. As a result, the transplant becomes unsuccessful.
