Figures released by The International
Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) show that facial hair transplants
surged by 9.5% between 2010 and 2012, adding weight to claims that beard
transplants are on the rise.
The ISHRS report that beard transplants
currently rank as one of the world’s most sought after hair transplantation
procedures, 3rd to only scalp and eyebrow work.
The procedure was revealed to be most
popular in Asia, although the United States and Middle East weren’t far behind,
with 263% growth in beard procedures in the Middle East from 2010 and 2012.
FUE Hair
Clinics© regularly responds to industry news. A representative
for the company said that because beards are associated with masculinity that
many men undergo beard transplants as they lack confidence.
“There are many people out there who
have low self-esteem for no other reason than that they struggle to grow a
beard and have patchy facial hair. In that regard, people have beard procedures
for much the same reason as they do traditional scalp transplants – a lack of
confidence is a big part of it.”
However, FUE Hair Clinics© report that they’ve
been approached by people who already have impressive beards but would like to
improve on them.
“Surprisingly, we often see patients who
have fairly impressive beards by normal standards but they simply want to go
that little bit further in the quest for perfect facial hair – especially in
recent years as proper beards have really become prominent and fashionable
again.
“Previously we would hear from only a
handful of people each year in regards to beard procedures but now we’re
receiving enquiries on a week to week basis.”
They also believe that beard-sporting
celebrities have played a role in boosting facial hair extractions.
“If you look at all the celebrities
these days you’ll quickly pick up on the fact that many of them, even people
who were previously clean shaven, have been growing out their facial hair,
including the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.”
