Cause of hair loss in the beard and mustache area

Beard and mustache problems are seen in men in three general ways:

In most men, parts of the face (such as the lips) do not have a beard, but other parts have a good density, for example, the chin is full of hair.

Some men have full beards and mustaches, but with low density and weak hair. These people generally cannot lift their beards and mustaches.

Few men generally do not have a beard or mustache, which can be genetic, congenital or acquired.

We can solve these problems by implanting a beard and mustache, of course, if you are a good candidate for this method.

But what is the cause of weakness in beard and mustache hair? The fact is that there are many possible causes for the thinness of your beard and mustache. It's good to know these causes, but the treatment for all of them is almost the same: beard and mustache implants.

Here are some of the most important reasons:

1) Genetic factors

Hereditary or genetic factors are probably the most important reasons why beards and mustaches are thin. If your grandparents had thick beards and thick mustaches, it probably will be the same for you. If the situation is the opposite, you will most likely not have a thick beard and mustache. Of course, the condition of the beard and mustache in the mother's family is also important.

When we say something is hereditary or genetic, we mean that there is no drug that can change the situation. At present, beard and mustache implants are the only solution we have. Medications, lotions, serums, mesotherapy and other methods can not grow your beard and mustache like a divine miracle! So do not be deceived by false advertisements and empty claims.

2) Hormones

Hormones can be a factor in the decline of beards and mustaches. Testosterone is a hormone that has a vital effect on beard and mustache hair growth. One of the body's sex hormones, also known as the male sex hormone. Of course, women also make this hormone, but it is secreted more in men.

The production and secretion of testosterone increases during puberty in men. You must have seen and experienced that boys' beards and mustaches gradually become thicker at puberty. Some applicants for beard and mustache implants are those whose bodies produce less testosterone.

Testosterone in the skin is converted to the hormone DHT or dihydrotestosterone. DHT has the same effects as testosterone on the follicles, but because it is a topical hormone and stays in the tissue for a long time, it has more effects on the hair than testosterone. There is an enzyme in our skin called 5 alpha reductase (5AR) that converts testosterone to DHT. Inhibitors of this enzyme (such as finasteride) are used to treat male pattern hair loss.

DHT causes hair loss and hair growth in other parts of the body in people with inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Therefore, if the 5AR enzyme is low or DHT production is reduced for any other reason, the hair on the back and the hair on the face will be shorter. Some applicants for beards and mustaches are those who have less enzyme 5 alpha reductase in their body.

3) Injuries and diseases

For skin injuries and skin diseases, they can cause temporary or permanent baldness in the beard and mustache areas. Some of these are:

Wounds and scars

Stitching

Fracture

Surgical operations such as cleft palate surgery

Burns

Folliculitis (inflammation of the follicles)

Of course, beard and mustache loss due to the above cases is not always permanent, but if it is permanent, the only way to improve the condition is to grow a mustache beard.

In addition, alopecia areata or alopecia areata can cause hair loss and thinning hair. Hair loss in alopecia areata (usually on the scalp or beard) is usually temporary but recurring periodically. Baldness due to alopecia areata can not be treated with implants.

4) Lifestyle

We all know that we need to get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, exercise and reduce our stress levels. These are important for the general health of your body as well as the growth of your beard and mustache. In the case of diet, the vitamins biotin and niacin can affect the growth of beards, mustaches and hair. These vitamins are found in foods such as eggs, avocados, milk, fish and sunflower seeds and are good to include in your diet.

What is a hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is a method in which follicles are transferred from one area of ​​the body to another. Follicles are small organs in the skin that make up hair.

For example, in hair transplantation, we remove the follicles from the back of the head, from the beard or from the chest and plant them in front of the head and areas with hair loss. We do the same in implanting beards and mustaches. We remove the follicles from the back of the head (hair bank) and transplant them in the face (recipient area).

The difference between natural and artificial hair transplants

Natural hair transplants, wherever they are in the body, have a brilliant advantage: it is the follicle that is implanted in the recipient area, not a natural or artificial hair. This means that in the years after the implant, the implanted hair grows, you can cut it short or try different models of beards and mustaches. Also, because we use loss-resistant follicles for implantation, the implanted areas usually do not experience hair loss for the rest of their lives.

Advantages and disadvantages of beard and mustache implants

Having a thick beard and mustache has many beauty benefits. In addition, the cultural and social conditions in our country and other Middle Eastern countries are such that it is important for men to grow a beard (or at least the ability to grow a beard and mustache). However, the reality is that all over the world, men with thick beards and mustaches look more masculine.
