Beard Transplants: Why Facial Hair Transplants Are Booming

Beard Transplants in the News: clinics across the UK are reporting a big rise in men seeking facial hair transplants for a fuller beard or moustache. The Private Clinic of Harley Street has also seen a rise in interest and numbers of procedures performed on men for facial hair transplants.
People are having them for sideburn restoration, moustache restoration and beard restoration. Many men are dissatisfied with their hair growth on the face and hair transplants offer a permanent and effective way to deal with the issue. While some men would prefer to use laser hair removal to permanently treat their unwanted hair, many men have the opposite issue. Find out more about your options by reading on.

What are facial hair transplants?

Beard Hair Transplants and Eyebrow Hair Transplants use the latest FUE Hair Transplant technology to carefully extract hair from the back and sides of the scalp and transfer them to the face. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and it’s a walk-in walk-out procedure. Unlike the FUT technique, there is little discomfort and very little downtime – meaning you can get back to your normal routine quickly.
What’s influencing people?

• Culture – facial hair is a big indicator and sign of masculinity in some cultures. For instance, it’s very popular in Turkey.
• Injury/Illness – there are a number of ways hair is affected by illness and injury. If you have a disorder, illness or injury that has affected your hair growth, come in for a consultation with our doctors for more information.
• Genetics – some men just don’t have the facial hair they would like. While some men have to shave every day, others struggle to find the need to shave at all.

The Celebrity & Fashion Effect

A survey recently revealed the top 10 celebrities for facial hair, giving you some indication why more and more men are trying to get a better crop of hair on their face. Coupled with that is the rise of bearded male models splashed across billboards and glossy magazines, like GQ. Designer stubble looks set to stay as more and more men take advantage of more relaxed rules at work, the products and services out there for facial hair as well as the popularity of bearded celebrities with women and other men.
