Beard alopecia is an increasingly common aesthetic problem, but with good habits, you can prevent it.
When we hear the word alopecia, we directly think of hair, but it is not true that it can affect any part of the body that has hair, and the beard is one of them.
Beard alopecia usually appears in the form of bald spots, either around the mouth, chin, cheeks, or neck. It usually affects men between 30 and 40 years old, although with a very low percentage, around 2%.
Having a lush, abundant, and defined a beard is an aesthetic option that, for years, has been on the rise among the male gender, so the appearance of bald spots or the lack of density in that area entails, in many cases, various repercussions. psychological among men that have promoted an increase in hair consultations due to this issue and as a direct consequence, beard grafting has become one of the most demanded beauty touch-ups today, according to Hospital Capillary.
Beard grafting is one of the most effective treatments to solve this aesthetic problem.
“The way beard alopecia presents depends on its nature. If it corresponds to the hormonal type, or what is the same, to a lack of beard forever, there will be little hair in general and it will remain around the mustache and goatee area, with the areas of the face and sideburns being the most affected. However, when it comes to alopecia areata, a rounded bald spot appears, several centimeters in diameter, usually solitary and around the chin”, explains Dr. Francisco Pilo, from the Hospital Capilar clinic.
Among the main reasons that can cause the low density in the beard or lack of hair in the area, are generalized stress or suffering from an important occasional stressful event, leading an unorganized rhythm of life due to lack of exercise or unbalanced diets, the consumption of certain medications or the appearance of some other systemic disease that can cause the onset of this type of alopecia.
Beard grafting is one of the most effective treatments to solve this aesthetic problem. The FUE technique is a procedure that consists of extracting the follicular units from the donor area to implant them in the recipient area of the patient, which does not leave a scar and allows rapid recovery from the intervention.
“However, the treatment to be followed will depend on the degree of involvement and the type of existing alopecia, so it will be essential to go to a specialist who individually assesses the solution according to each case,” details the specialist at Hospital Capilar.
