    TLDR Beard hair transplantation is generally satisfying, requires 250-800 grafts, uses FUE to avoid scars, needs careful planning, has some risks, and hair regrowth starts after 4-6 months.
    In May 2020, Dr. Anthony Bared discussed the nuances of beard hair transplantation, a procedure with a high satisfaction rate that caters to individuals looking to increase the density or create a full beard. The number of grafts required ranges from 250 to 800, depending on the patient's goals and donor hair characteristics. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the preferred technique to avoid scarring, and careful preoperative planning is crucial for natural-looking results. Complications can include unnatural hair angles and bump formation, especially in patients with thick, dark hair. Postoperative care involves keeping the area dry for 5 days, applying antibiotic ointment, and washing from the sixth day, with shaving permitted after 10 days. Pinkness post-procedure is common but temporary, and hair regrowth starts at around 4 to 6 months, with the possibility of a secondary procedure after 1 year for increased density.

      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
