When is beard transplantation done?
Beard transplantation is often applied if the following conditions occur:
No hair growth in the face area: The absence of a beard, also known as a leathery, can be seen in one part of the face or the entire face. Together with the male hormone testosterone, DHT, a type of this hormone, determines whether the beards will come out. These hormones, which begin with adolescence and increase in the body until the age of 20-21, allow the hair to grow, increase and thicken. However, if the person is deficient in these hormones, the beard may not appear.
Treatment of Ringworm Disease: Skin disease, which causes not only hair loss but all hair on the body, can cause ringworm and beard loss. Psychological problems such as ringworm, stress, distress, fear, anxiety, and sadness that cause regional or total loss of beard. Although this problem can be eliminated with drugs, it is possible to get the real solution with the cultivation of beard.
Elimination of scar and burn scars: Wound and burn scars may occur on the face due to trauma and hair follicles in these areas may die and prevent beard growth. In such a case, beard transplantation provides both removal of scars and beard formation.
Beard tightening or changing shape: Beards can be sparse or shapeless for various reasons. In such cases, beard transplantation can be done without leaving the natural appearance in order to tighten the beards or change their shape.
