 Facial Hair Transplant 
 The Beard 
 Mr Michael W. May FRCS The Wimpole Clinic

  3. Introduction • Beards are in fashion • Some clinics are performing 3-4 beard hair transplants per month • 7% of hair transplant surgeries are now to non-scalp areas, such as eyebrows, eyelashes and beards. • Beards consist mainly of single-hair follicular units, which start during puberty. They are driven by Androgens (as compared to scalp hair)

  4. Reasons for Beard Transplants • Scars • Traction Alopecia (for example, with Sikh men) • Congenital Hypo/Alopecia • Post Folliculitis Scarring • Long-standing Alopecia Areata • Ethnic Groups: Middle-Eastern Men > Caucasian Men > Oriental Men STRONG BEARD > MODERATE BEARD > WEAK BEARD

 Definition 
 The Follicular Unit consists of 1-4 terminal follicles, 1 vellus follicle, a sebaceous gland and arrector pili muscles, with its own blood and nerve supply surrounded by a fibrous sheath. 
 Two Extraction Methods 
 Conventional ‘Strip’ Method 
 Large Sessions 
 Perfect Grafts – Microscopic Dissection 
 Men with no intention of shaving their head – often older 


  6. 
 Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) 
 Less Invasive 
 No Linear Scar 
 Younger men with smaller sessions, who keep hair very short or shaved
