Hi, if you know the size of the hair / graft then would be easier for your to select the size of the needle. Secondly the member mentioned above top rated surgeon for beard hair transplant selection, so he know grafts survival factors. 

Well 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm needle size is good enough for graft survival. There should be no issue regarding graft survival in these sizes of needles. 

Do you think what  my surgeon said above was genuine concern?

My surgeon is listed at this forum as one of the elite surgeon. I got beard hair transplant from him. He used 1.2 and 1.4 mm size incision citing my scal hair grafts are thick and trimming the grafts too thin affects their survival in scar areas

My surgeon mention that they don’t like trimming grafts too thin as it jeopardizes their survival and hence the incisions are created using 1.2 and 1.4 mm size needles. Is this true? Or you could achieve the same survival with 0.7 mm incisions?

Hi, interesting but routine matters for the surgeons to answer it. Yes most of the cased scarring is visible. There are three kinds of unnaturalness in scarring 

1- Cobblestone

2- Pit 

3- Tenting ( elevation)

There are many factors for such kind of scarring. Keeping in mind you selected the top rated surgeon, major thing which will determine the scarring will be the slit or needle size. If the needle size to make the slits will be less than 0.8 mm , very less chances of scarring and you will get the scar free procedure. A lot of surgeons also use implanted with needle size 0.8 mm , 0.7 mm for facial / beard hair transplant as less size of the puncture to insert the grafts, definitely save you from scarring. 

Is it true that bigger needle size would ensure better survival rate for grafts?

Somewhat, if they take about 10 mins to do the extractions. Technicians will sort out the grafts and away with the implantation. So it depends how many they extract. Ball park, about 20 mins the grafts are out of the head for. Hair follicles can be in open airfor couple hours from what i remember 

I am confused. So is it 20 mins or couple of hours?

Eugenix claim that they implant the hair grafts within 15 mins of harvesting. Can you please verify this claim?

Please address my concerns 🙏🙏

any help and reply would be appreciated and reassuring 🙏🙏

Hi,

i understand that the new growth is usually fine and then thickens up. But I also notice the colour is white not black like my donor area. This is the very new growth which is very very fine, but not black in colour. Is this normal?

Will this change to black colour later on?

Isn’t the main advantage of going with Eugenix is that they make sure the grafts survival is optimal. As they use the DHT method, which means using a pen implanted, they implant the grafts within 15 minutes of extraction using the team of techs.

i think this type of service is not offered by anyone else. In the end, it is all about grafts survival and how long they are kept outside the body.

Okey, how long since transplant? Beard hairgrows slower than scalp hair, so that might also be a contributing factor

It will be 3 months end of this week. Dr. Used scalp here to do transplant though

It does not seem like it. It’s weird, because they are still there and have stayed at same length for months. Guess i just need to wait and see if they fall out or if they eventually start growing..

has the same happened to you?

I had a beard transplant to hide a scar. Small area. I am 12 weeks done. Not much going on. As they say you see growth after 3-4 months. I am really worried. But yes I have some hairs that seem like not growing or they are growing extremely slowly. There are indeed changes in them but very slow.

I also want to add that i seem to have hairs that sprouted a couple months ago, but dont seem to be growing. To be clear, these are hair that initially shed. Seems to be a bit unusual, but have read about it happening to some other people on here as well

Did these hairs started growing?

Hello, the slits are made 3mm-4mm deep. Usually we do a test grafting before and check the size and thickness of the grafts and make the incisions accordingly. 

Thanks for reply. How wide are the incisions? 

What are the sizes of The incision sites made? Do they vary depending on the graft sizes?

Amazing results

Thank you for tagging @Melvin- Moderator,

Grafts extraction comprises two steps:
1. Dissection of the grafts from the surrounding tissue using a sharp COLE punch (0.9mm or 1mm) The punch is mounted on the motor and the rotatory punch advances through the skin and dissects the grafts.
2. Using forceps, the punched graft is picked and collected in a bowl.

The surgeon performs the punching, while picking of the grafts are done by few assistant technicians.

Wow, truly inspirational! I just read through all the 15 pages. This is amazing transformation and I am really happy for you, Adrian! All the best with this journey!! 

Hi,

is it normal to shed more than 90% of your transplanted hairs between 3-6 weeks? I am just worried that some transplanted hairs supposed to stay intact?

what’s normal or it varies for everyone?

It could be due to shock loss. I jus had beard transplant and I am post shedding phase. It is not part of aging as my whole beard is black. 

I notice some hairs to change to grey / white after applying rogaine 5% on beard hairs. The whole hair is black but  is white from the root. Is this normal or common?

Yeah, the hairs tend to look like they’re dying of old age right before the big shed.

Exactly, that’s how they looked. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I had a question if people could share their experiences. After scabs come off, the hairs are there and they seem like growing and look very healthy. They have the strength and rigidness to them. But jus a few days before my hairs started shedding, they seemed like they had no strength. They seemed weak, going in all directions.. lost their strengths. Is that normal? Is this probably a sign that person is going to have massive shed?

Not always. There is no way to tell how your transplant yields until the end (usually by 1 year)

Can you damage the hair follicle by massing the skin after the 2-3 weeks have passed?

7 hours ago, 5BetaReductase said:

They’re mostly not growing. It’s just the telogen hair that’s being pushed out. 

If the Hair appears to have gotten longer than what the size was when implanted, would not that imply that the hair follicle was building the hairs and was not damaged?

If the grafts are damaged, it doesn’t matter if they’re inside the skin.

 

But if the hairs were growing before they shed, would this indicate grafts were not damaged?
