Beard follicles are thicker and more DHT‑resistant, making them useful to add density in crown or mid‑scalp when scalp donor is limited.
Pros
- Additional donor source; higher caliber hairs boost coverage.
- Good for repair and crown density.
Cons
- Texture mismatch near the hairline—avoid for frontal singles.
- Tiny facial dot scars; need experienced surgeon to minimize visibility.
Best used as an adjunct to scalp grafts under a surgeon skilled in body hair transplantation.
