FAQ #1- How Much Time Does a Beard Transplant Procedure Require?

The beard transplant procedure requires only a few hours, depending on the number of grafts needed to be transplanted. However, recovery time can take over a month. You may notice some swelling followed by scabbing in the treated area. It’s completely normal because our skin tends to react this way to scrapes and cuts.

FAQ #2- Why Does the Treatment Area Itch After a Beard Transplant?

Recipient and donor areas become very itchy after a successful FUE hair transplant. The area undergoes a healing process to repair itself following hair implantation or extraction. Histamines are released during this time, which causes itch, making the person want to scratch.

Many people feel anxious during this time because of the lack of sufficient information regarding beard transplants. While the situation can be uncomfortable for patients, itching is fairly common and can occur due to several reasons.

These include crusting, infection, growth, or allergy. Crusting is usually visible on the second day after the transplant. Scratching could lead to unavoidable infections and may also render the transplantation deteriorated.

You may also experience severe itching when the transplanted hair starts to grow. When itching starts suddenly and becomes intense, it foreshadows infection. Dusty and dirty environments, lack of proper medication usage, and allergies can lead to infections.

Avoid using cosmetic hair care products and shampoo without consulting hair restoration specialists. It’s best to wait for hair follicles to heal completely before using sprays, shampoos, and other cosmetic products.

FAQ #3- How Does Long the Itchiness Last After Beard Transplant?

Itching following beard transplants tends to last less than two weeks but can continue bothering patients for up to four weeks. It’s particularly worse in the five-six days after the transplantation as you cannot wash the area.

Most people experience an enormous difference once they wash the area thoroughly for the first time. But don’t be alarmed if any allergic reaction, infection, existing condition, or dryness continues to cause an unbearable post-op itch. It’s just the skin tissue healing and repairing itself.

FAQ #4- How to Deal with Beard Itch that Gets a Little Too Much?

 You must avoid the temptation to scratch the beard grafts no matter the circumstances.

Scratching can cause an accidental pulling out or dislodging of the transplanted graft, leading to a detrimental effect on final regrowth results. Healing can also be delayed if any donor incisions are opened. It increases discomfort and irritation and can lead to folliculitis and other skin infections affecting hair follicles.

Notify the hair restoration specialist right away if the beard scratching results in excessive inflammation, swelling, or bleeding. Sometimes an antibiotic or antihistamines may be needed to be prescribed during aftercare. Your beard transplant expert may also recommend tailored hair transplant care to avoid itchiness while promoting optimal hair regrowth.

Spray Salt Water

You cannot wash the transplanted hair for at least a week post the procedure. Use a saltwater spray during this period to clean away any dry skin or debris and nourish the grafts while preventing excessive itchiness. Copiously spray the treated area to soothe it but ensure the water comes out in a burst that’s evenly spread out instead of a jet spray to prevent damage to the hair.

Use Medicated Shampoo

One benefit of choosing Turkey’s best hair transplant clinics is that you’ll get advice and appropriate products for aftercare. This includes mild lotion and medicated shampoo to help the treated area heal as effectively as possible.

While you must avoid shampooing the area for the first 24 hours, the medicated shampoo should offer comfort and relief. Shampooing the beard according to the instructions recommended by the hair restoration specialists should help nip all the itching in the bud!

Avoid Shaving

Many people feel tempted to shave the itchy beard to find some relief. Avoid this at all costs as it increases the treated area getting infected or wounded. It’s also pointless because the hair is not causing the itch – it’s the inflammation and scabbing from the treatment. Don’t shave your beard for at least a month after the transplant.

Eyes on the Goal: A Luscious Beard that Makes You Look Dapper for Years to Come!
