Beard Transplantation
Beard transplantation is an operation that has become popular in recent years. The popularity of hair transplantation has brought the aesthetic point of view to another point in almost all people. Today, every individual has started to interpret the concepts related to beauty. As such, the lack of beard as well as the lack of hair has become a problem that needs to be changed and repaired. Another important point here is that the habit of growing a beard has increased significantly in recent years. Especially with the twenty-first century, beards cut with razor blades have been replaced by beards cut in a certain order or completely extended. Considering all these, it has become a natural situation for people who do not have any or enough beard growth to review the beard transplant operation. In Turkey, mustache transplantation has been an operation preferred by almost everyone who had problems in the last few years.
What Are the Obstacles to Beard Growth?

- Insufficient amount of testosterone: Factors that cause beard formation are androgenetic hormones. Insufficient production of this hormone reduces beard formation.
- Malnutrition: Failure to take vitamins and minerals that are good for the hair structure to the body can cause the beard to not grow. For this reason, taking keratin-producing vitamins is essential.
- Alopecia Barbae: Alopecia, which can be seen in many parts of the body, can form oval spaces when observed in the beard area.
