Hair transplantation normally refers to the surgical procedure of restoration of hair in areas affected with baldness due to any physiological or hormonal anomaly. Just like transplantations of hair are done for the scalp, similarly, treatment to restore facial hair is also done. A small percentage of males suffer hair fall in their beard and moustache areas owing to hormonal imbalance, stress or other physiological conditions. A beard and moustache is synonymous to manhood across cultures. A man with abundant & healthy growth of facial hair is considered to be high on male hormone levels also.
Once a man starts developing problems with facial hairs, this may even lead to low self esteem levels and a lowered self confidence while presenting him before others.

There are two popular techniques being used worldwide for hair transplantation procedures. The first technique, known as FUM, or FUG, can be expanded as Follicular Unit Micro grafting, or even commonly known as strip harvesting, or strip method. It involves removal of about 3 to 4 inch strips of hair bearing scalp from the donor, and dissecting those into tiny grafts containing four hairs each. These mini grafts are then transplanted onto the affected areas of the patient, to grow just like normal hair using local anesthesia and the entire procedure takes about 4 to 8 hours depending upon the number of grafts being transplanted.
The second technique is known as FUE, the same FUE technique what we use in hair transplantation over the scalp. The advantage here is that it does not lead to any unwanted scarring in the donor’s affected area. This is the reason why only FUE methods are preferred for facial hair transplantation, as no one would like results of FUT method with unwanted scars on his face. The transplanted facial hair looks complete natural when completed with FUE method, and the results are indistinguishable. Moustache Transplantation not just brings back lost hair but also helps patient’s recover onto their lost self-esteem.
