Afro Hair Transplant at UK Hair Transplants UKHT
At UK Hair Transplants (UKHT) Clinic, we specialise in the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique for all hair types, which we prefer for its precision and effectiveness. FUE is a minimally invasive method that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to thinning or balding areas. This technique offers natural-looking results with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional methods. Our highly skilled surgeons at UKHT are experts in FUE, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients, providing them with the best possible outcome.
How does the FUE Beard Transplant procedure works?
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, as used for hair transplants, is also utilised in Beard, Moustache, Goatee and Sideburn Hair Transplants. This method is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore hair density on different areas of the face. The procedure can take between three and nine hours – depending on the area treated and amount of hair required. For example, a goatee may require up to 1,500 hairs, while a full beard may need up to 4,000 hairs.
During the procedure the Surgeon locates the ‘stable zone area’ at the side or back of the head. This is used as the donor area for the beard, moustache or sideburns. Finer hair is typically needed for a Beard Transplant where the donor area is located at the sides of the head. If the patient is balding or is completely bald it is also possible to use body hair such as the chest area for the donor area.
An FUE Beard Transplant is a walk-in walk-out procedure and only local anaesthetic is used to ensure minimal downtime. Once the donor area is located each hair follicle is taken out one at a time using ‘punches’ to cut in and around the follicle. The size of the tools will depend on the size of the follicles required – the finer the hair the smaller the ‘punch’. This part of the process is completed very discretely and will be unnoticeable.
Once this is completed local anaesthetic is administered to the areas of the face for the hair transplant. Careful and skilful attention is used to ensure the extracted hairs are then implanted, one follicle at a time, at the right angle to give highest density and most natural looking results.
