Hi! Dr. Peterson here —Yes, it’s usually possible to remove unwanted beard transplants, but the method depends on how the hair was placed, the caliber of the hairs, and their color. Laser hair removal can work if the grafted hairs are dark and thick - which is probably the best option for your case. In some cases, surgical excision may be needed for persistent areas. Multiple sessions are often required, and results can take time.I’m sorry to see you had an unsatisfactory result. Usually this a result of providers who aren’t specializes in beard transplantation and don’t properly arrange the transplanted hairs in a natural configuration based on number, size, and density. It’s important to see a board-certified dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon experienced in hair removal after transplants to create a safe, effective plan.
Laser for hair removal like Gentle YAG or Diode laser could be your option in order to get rid off the whole transplanted beard. Please note that multiple sessions are required to remove the whole thing.
Hi there,I know it’s really frustrating when a beard transplant doesn’t turn out the way you hoped. Technically, you can remove the hairs with laser hair removal, but there’s a catch — the tiny incision marks left behind from the transplant won’t just disappear. Those small scars can sometimes look more noticeable than the hair itself, so full removal often creates a bigger problem than the beard does now.In cases like this, a much better option is usually a secondary beard transplant. A skilled surgeon can redesign your beard, add more density, and place the new grafts in a way that blends everything together naturally. Many patients who feel unhappy with their first result end up very satisfied after a careful repair and redesign.Hope this helps you see another path forward. Wishing you the best with whatever you decide next.
Thanks for sharing your concerns — they’re totally valid, and it's great that you're approaching this carefully. To be honest, the photos you've shared don’t give us enough clarity to say definitively how advanced your hair loss is or whether 2,000 grafts would be too much or too lit...
Hi, Without seeing your photos, it’s hard to say exactly what’s going on in your case, but I can share some general thoughts. Usually, even the slow growers start showing some new hair around the fourth month. By nine months, we definitely expect to see some progress. If there’s no visible growt...
. Shock Loss or Telogen Effluvium (due to stress) Stress can trigger telogen effluvium, but it usually affects the whole scalp. If the rest of your hair is not shedding, it could mean that the transplanted grafts are more vulnerable to stress or other triggers — possibly because they’re no lon...
