Beard restoration in Panamá

Before starting, the physician assesses the areas with low density and designs the beard shape according to the facial proportions, the existing growth pattern and the patient's preferences. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Follicles are extracted individually from a donor area, usually the back or side of the head. They are then implanted in the beard, mustache or sideburns, taking care of the angle, direction and depth to integrate them with the existing facial hair. Depending on the number of grafts, the session may last several hours or extend through much of the day. After the procedure, redness, small scabs and temporary tenderness are normal. The patient receives specific washing and care instructions to protect the grafts during the first few days.

Follicles correctly transplanted from a stable donor area usually keep their ability to grow long-term, so the result is considered permanent. However, no medical procedure can guarantee that every graft survives. During the first weeks, some of the implanted hair may shed temporarily as part of the follicle's normal cycle. A new stage of progressive growth then begins. Because the follicles usually come from the scalp, the implanted hair may grow faster or reach a greater length than the original facial hair. For this reason, it may need to be trimmed regularly to keep the desired style.

Before the procedure, the physician evaluates:
• The cause of the absence or low density of the beard.
• The quantity and quality of follicles available in the donor area.
• The presence of scars, alopecia areata, irritation or active skin conditions.
• The thickness, color, texture and growth pattern of the hair.
• The shape of the face and the beard design the patient wants.
• The number of grafts needed to achieve realistic coverage.
• Medical history, allergies and current medications.
• The patient's ability to follow the aftercare.
It is also determined whether the donor hair can visually integrate with the facial hair. A natural design requires placing the grafts by carefully following the direction and angle specific to each part of the beard. The DHI technique makes it possible to control these elements individually during implantation. Final candidacy is established after a personalized medical evaluation. When there is an active skin condition or a medical cause of hair loss, it may need to be treated before considering the transplant.
