No it doesn’t leave anything really and it heals super fast, if after a month you have some little red dots you can just get rid of em with a good exfoliant like this one: https://www.sephora.com/product/alpha-beta-peel-extra-strength-daily-peel-P269122?skuId=1499482&icid2=skugrid:p269122:product I guarantee you that with this exfoliant you’ll get rid of anything.

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 That's my question...are individuals happy with the regrowth results in terms of both yield and aesthetics?

Senior Member mustang Posted June 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2021 Best would be to add those beard grafts into your donor and then extract another 2000 grafts (all doubles) from your donor Beard grafts grow very well on scalp but provide a poor coverage value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted June 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2021 You definitely would not want to add beard grafts that close to the hairline. The texture and sometimes color can be vastly different from scalp hair and would be noticeable in the hairline. Beard grafts are usually only used for filler in the midscalp or crown. Another option would be extract more scalp grafts to restore the area of concern and at another time if the donor looks depleted then transfer beard grafts into the donor.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 17, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 17, 2021 I don't know a reputable surgeon who would used beard grafts for the hairline. If you do come across one then run a mile. Beard hair has a thicker diameter and and it's characteristics are unpredictable to a degree. The only way to achieve a natural and more dense appearance in the hairline would be to utilize soft scalp grafts. It would be preferable to do nothing than to use beard grafts for your hairline. As others have said when mixed in with scalp hair, beard hair makes a great filler on the right candidate. All the best.

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 The area just above the ears is also a good potential source to extract some grafts to use in that small thinning area.

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 Although I agree with the above with regards to the hairline. Beard grafts are best used as a filler/add to density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
