Can a beard transplant be performed on burn scar tissue?

Yes. Mature burn scar tissue can hold transplanted grafts, but it is thinner, less elastic and less vascular than healthy skin, so survival expectations are lower and density is planned conservatively. In this case 2,600 single grafts were placed into a childhood burn scar on the jawline and upper neck, and growth was still holding 28 months later.

Why was Full DHI with the Choi implanter pen chosen instead of channel opening?

The implanter pen places each graft at a controlled depth and angle in a single movement, so scar tissue is disturbed less than when channels are opened first. Pre-opened channels can tear or heal unpredictably in a scar, which is why Full DHI is our standard approach for beard work at Sule Hair Clinic.

How long does it take to see the final result?

Scabs shed in the second week, the transplanted hairs shed afterwards, early regrowth appears around the second month and the beard covers the area by the third month. Full maturity takes about a year. This patient was photographed at 28 months, which is why the case also shows how the result holds over time.

How many grafts are needed for a beard transplant over a scar?

It depends on the surface area and how much of the scar has no hair at all. This case needed 2,600 single grafts for the left jawline, chin and upper neck. A smaller patch may need 800 to 1,500.

Where does the donor hair come from in a beard transplant?

Usually the back and sides of the scalp. All 2,600 grafts here were harvested from the scalp donor area with a 0.93 mm punch and placed as single hairs to keep the beard edge soft.

Does the transplanted beard hair need to be shaved or trimmed?

Yes. Scalp-sourced beard hair keeps the growth behaviour of scalp hair, so it grows longer than native beard hair and needs regular trimming — as this patient does 28 months on.
