Sapphire FUE refers to improvisation in slits making within the FUE hair transplant method. At CARA Clinic, Mumbai, we use the slits made by Sapphire Blades for hair grafts implantation. Compared to other needles used to make slits, the sapphire blades are very thin and very sharp. These needles are known to make very small cuts in the skin of the patient, called "micro- incisions," which allow the patient to heal quickly and with "no scarring" after the surgery. The use of new sapphire blades due to reduced scab formation prevents the risk of occurring infections.

Thus, this technique is considered to be much gentler for the patient. If you choose the sapphire FUE technique at the CARA Clinic in Mumbai, you will get results that look natural, have a high density, be safe, leave fewer scars, and have other benefits. Because the procedures work so well, this method is highly recommended, even for areas like the beard and eyebrows that are harder to treat.

Dr. Mohd Asif, M.D., Dermatology, and Dr. Aleena Rahman, D.L.O, Otolaryngologist are both trained and certified hair transplant surgeons as well as aesthetic physicians. They are the founders and medical directors of Cara Hair Transplant and Aesthetic Clinic, Santa Cruz, Mumbai.

Dr. Asif was one of the first people to study the role of platelet-based hair regrowth treatments, and he has given papers that have won awards at both the national and international levels. His first publication on the tissue regenerative potential of platelets came within his residency program and was recognized in the British Journal of Cosmetic Dermatol. Dr Asif, experienced from Dr T, Hair Transplant Clinic, Turkey. He has a strong belief in ISHRS for standard hair restoration procedures and treats each graft carefully to ensure a quality hair transplant. Dr. Aleena Rehman Tatar is an ENT surgeon, who has well- equipped knowledge of hair transplant surgeries and has dedicated her time to excelling in this field.

Dr. Asif and Dr. Aleena envisioned a CARA Clinic where everyone could benefit from the most recent advances in hair loss treatments, like Sapphire FUE hair transplant and cell-based hair regenerative treatments. CARA is their forum for providing their clients with the highest level of personal attention and care.

Beard hair transplant surgery is a procedure in which hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (usually the scalp) and transplanted to the beard area to improve the appearance of thin or patchy beard. You will be given a local anaesthetic before the procedure to numb the area where the hair follicles will be removed & implanted. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, redness, or discomfort in the treated area, but these symptoms should go away on their own within 2-3 days. It may take 4-6 months for the transplanted hair to fully grow in and achieve the desired appearance.

There are several things that could cause your beard to grow in spots or not at all. Some men may have thin or patchy facial hair because of their genes, which can be passed down from their parents. Changes or imbalances in hormones, like those that happen during puberty or because of some medical conditions, can also affect how much hair grows on the face. Some medicines or treatments, like chemotherapy, can also cause hair loss, either temporarily or permanently. In some cases, a scar from an injury or surgery or a skin condition like alopecia can cause a beard to grow in spots or not at all.

It is important to note that the growth patterns of facial hair can vary widely among men, and what is considered a "normal" beard may differ from person to person. Some men may have naturally thicker or fuller facial hair, while others may have patchier growth. In general, the density and distribution of facial hair is largely determined by genetics, but other factors such as diet, overall health, and age can also play a role.

It needs to be well understood that the face swells immediately after the Beard or Moustache Growth Treatment surgery or Patchy Beard Treatment and returns to normal in 2-3 days. The scabs tend to occur from the first day itself and fall in consecutive 7-10 days. Beard Hair Transplants normally takes 7 days to recover.

If any kind of travel is scheduled after the transplant surgery, it is recommended to schedule the next afternoon's flight or journey. It should be noted that the transplanted hair is usually shed within the first month itself. The re-growth of initial hair takes 3-6 months after the transplant. A gradual increase in hair density is observed within the first year after the surgery.

A beard/facial hair transplant is an important part of the field of hair transplantation. It is used to restore hair in the beard or on the face. The procedures and treatments for transplanting hair on the face take a lot of experience because they are very different from regular hair transplant procedures and treatments. The Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is recommended during the involved processes.

When it comes to beard and facial hair transplants, the following points need to be clear:

• The donor area for beard and moustache hair transplant is the back of the scalp in most cases. However, if you have common baldness over the scalp as well, then the underlying procedures need to be discussed with the our hair transplant expert in detail.
• The angle, direction and orientation of beard hair need to be analysed appropriately. It is observed that the beard hair angle is flatter to the surface of the skin in various directions, mostly downwards. If the transplanted hair are placed above the desired angle, it gives an unnatural look and cannot be rectified easily thereafter.
• If too many multi-follicular hair grafts are used in the beard, an overall unnatural look is obtained, which cannot be rectified easily.
• To create a fuller look, it is best to fill in all the gaps in the right places, like the cheeks, sideburns, moustache, goatee, and under-chin area.
