Beard Does Not Grow.
Beard Does Not Grow. What to do in thsi Case?
Having a beard is a desire of many men, and today’s trend for individuality, “to be different”, to live your life perfectly matches the image of a man with a beard. In addition, vegetation on the face – a sign of maturity, reliability, stability, and this in a fast-changing and not very safe modern world sometimes lacks. Not every member of the stronger sex will be able to formulate why he wears or wants to wear a beard, but still the main motives of men are summarised as follows:
- To completely change the impression of himself – someone beard makes more masculine, someone softer, and there can be many options (older, more elegant, brutal, etc.),
- Hide flaws in appearance, change the proportions of the face to more favourable to protect the skin from constant shaving, to follow certain traditions (cultural, religious).
- In addition, a man’s beard is a subject of care that requires constant attention, and some men take great pleasure in taking care of this part of themselves.
But it happens that the beard began to grow – and is not very happy: the hair is sparse, cannot achieve the desired shape of the beard. A man gets nervous and is ready to give up this idea, but there is a solution to the problem – just not everyone knows about it.
Let’s tell you why beard hair does not grow – and what to do if the beard grows unevenly
In a bad way, the beard may not grow for several reasons. The main ones are:
- Heredity.
- Rare vegetation on the face – a given by nature, and sometimes it is not possible to pick up the form of beard to make it to suit.
- Scars in the area of the beard and moustache.
- If after trauma or surgery formed a scar, in this place hair does not grow.
- Hormonal changes.
- If at some point stopped growing hair on the beard, in some places, it is best to consult a trichologist to understand why this happened.
What men most often do not like when they start to grow a beard – and are dissatisfied with the result beard is sparse, does not give the impression of masculinity there are spleens in the beard, places where the hair does not grow at all or grow sporadically, rarely the desired shape of the beard cannot be created from the existing hair.
Sometimes, a man gets disappointed and starts shaving again – or leaves vegetation on his face, trying to give it shape by any cosmetic means. However, in all cases of “no beard growth”, there is a reliable way – the transplantation of your own hair from the occipital area to the beard and moustache area.
Unfortunately, middle-aged and older men sometimes have to choose between a beard or a hairstyle, because as a result the hair on the back of the head will thin somewhat. But often the loss of vegetation on the head just visually “balanced” with hair transplantation to the beard.
Reviews of this procedure:
The experience of surgeons who restore hair, moustaches, beards of patients – the best confirmation that not serious facial vegetation – a solvable problem.
How is it possible to get rid of bald spots on the beard?
Grafts – pieces of skin with 1-2 hair follicles – are extracted from the back of the patient’s head and then implanted into the area where the beard is to be created. All this is done under local anaesthesia and the patient feels comfortable. There are two main varieties of beard sealing – they differ in the way the grafts are taken. The first technology is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). Extraction of grafts with a micro-instrument directly from the scalp, their processing and implantation into the beard area. The method is suitable when small areas need to be filled in – for example, to thicken sparse beard hair. The procedure takes up to 8 hours.
Hair transplantation into the beard area is a low-traumatic intervention, but there are contraindications:
- Inflammatory diseases of the facial skin, their exacerbation; 2. Blood coagulation disorders;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- Cardiovascular diseases.
Everything starts with a consultation with Dr. Trichologist-surgeon of the clinic, who will help to choose the optimal beard shape, choose the most suitable method of hair transplantation and talk about the rehabilitation period. The rehabilitation period is short – up to 2 weeks, during this time it is important to exclude physical activity and heat procedures.
In the first few days after hair transplantation, there may be a slight swelling, afterwards crusts will form in the hair implantation sites – and it is very important not to traumatise or scratch this area (and it can be itchy). The doctor will prescribe special products to care for the area of new hair growth, tell you how to care for it to ensure maximum engraftment. The patient needs to know how the beard will behave after transplantation. For the first 2-3 weeks, the hair follicles take root and the hair starts to grow, stubble will appear. Then beard hair growth will stop, and about a month after the transplant, it will start to fall out. This is normal – transplanted hair “live” the cycle of development of normal hair, only in an accelerated mode. After 2-3 months, the hair will grow back
