Beard Transplant\u00a0San Diego\"beard<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Beard transplants are one of our fastest growing procedures at Kolstad Hair Restoration.\u00a0 Full, uniform and thick beards are now an option for everyone through a surgical procedure than can be performed in the office.<\/p>\n

Thickness and distribution of facial hair tends to follow a specific genetic pattern.\u00a0 How thick and where facial hair grows does not change significantly after adolescence.\u00a0 Androgenic alopecia which is the most common cause of baldness in men does not affect facial hair.<\/p>\n

Many of our patients feel that facial hair creates a strong, masculine appearance.\u00a0 A contoured beard can improve a jawline, separating the face from the neck.\u00a0 Side burns can make the temple hair appear thicker and more youthful.\u00a0 Whether your goal is to grow a full beard or to keep it trimmed as a thick shadow, facial hair transplants can give you opportunities that genetics did not provide.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Most Common Questions We Get Asked About Beard Transplants<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Who is a good candidate for a beard transplant?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most important criteria for facial hair transplants is a good donor area.\u00a0 During beard transplant procedures hair follicles are borrowed from the back of the scalp.\u00a0 It is important to have a dense area of hairs in the occipital scalp to use for the transplant process.\u00a0 We offer two methods of removing hair grafts from the occipital scalp.<\/p>\n

What is the best way to remove the donor hair grafts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Kolstad Hair Restoration in San Diego we offer both FUT<\/a> and FUE<\/a> beard transplants.\u00a0 The difference between the two procedures is how the hair grafts are removed from the back of the head.\u00a0 FUT refers to the process of removing a strip of scalp in the back to the head to obtain the grafts.\u00a0 Using state-of-the-art Neograft technology hair grafts can also be removed one at a time during an FUE procedure.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kolstad will help guide you and explain the differences between FUT and FUE facial hair transplants.\u00a0 If you have long hair or have a strip scar from a previous procedure you may be a better candidate for FUT.\u00a0 If you do not have scars in the back of the head and like to wear your hair short, FUE may be the best method for graft extraction.<\/p>\n
