The most common cause of a thin or patchy beard is genetics. Some men are genetically programmed to have fewer hair follicles on their face, just as others may experience hair loss on the scalp. If facial hair growth is weak in your family, you are more likely to experience the same condition.
However, genetics is not the only factor. Other common causes include:
Physical Trauma:
Scars caused by accidents, burns, or previous surgeries can permanently damage hair follicles, preventing hair growth in those areas.
Even when testosterone levels are normal, facial hair follicles may not respond strongly to growth-related hormones, leading to weak or uneven beard development.
Certain autoimmune conditions may cause the body to attack its own hair follicles, resulting in small, round bald patches within the beard area.
At Liv Hospital, we believe that successful beard transplantation begins with an accurate medical evaluation. Rather than focusing only on visible gaps, we aim to identify the underlying cause of beard hair loss.
Our evaluation process includes:
Donor Area Assessment:
We examine the donor area, usually the back of the scalp, to confirm the presence of healthy and sufficient hair follicles.
Trichoscopic Analysis:
Using digital imaging, we evaluate skin condition and follicle health to rule out active skin or hair disorders that may affect healing.
Facial Symmetry and Design Planning:
We analyze facial proportions and bone structure to design a beard shape that appears natural and complements individual facial features.
At Liv Hospital, beard transplant specialists combine medical expertise with aesthetic planning. The specialist determines whether the patient is a suitable candidate and calculates the appropriate graft density for a natural result. Since facial hair grows at a flatter angle than scalp hair, careful evaluation of hair direction is essential. This precise planning ensures that transplanted hairs grow naturally and blend seamlessly with existing facial hair.
For a personalized assessment and treatment plan, patients are encouraged to consult our specialist team.

Identifying the cause is critical because hair transplantation is primarily effective for genetic hair loss, whereas other causes may require medical therapy first.
Androgenetic Alopecia (Genetic Hair Loss):
This is the most common cause of hair loss, accounting for more than 95% of cases in men and a significant percentage in women. It is a hereditary condition influenced by aging and hormones.
Mechanism:
Testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. In individuals who are genetically sensitive, DHT attaches to hair follicles and causes them to gradually shrink. Over time, these follicles produce thinner hair and may eventually stop producing visible hair altogether.
Severe physical or emotional stress, such as major surgery, serious illness, rapid weight loss, or emotional trauma, can cause hair follicles to enter the resting phase earlier than normal. As a result, noticeable hair shedding may occur several months after the triggering event.
Certain health conditions and treatments can contribute to hair loss, including:
Certain health conditions and treatments can contribute to hair loss, including:
Autoimmune diseases such as lupus and alopecia areata
Scalp infections like fungal infections (ringworm)
Medications used for cancer, arthritis, depression, and heart conditions
Traction alopecia is caused by prolonged tension on the hair due to tight hairstyles such as braids or ponytails. Continuous pulling damages the hair follicles over time and may lead to permanent hair loss if not addressed early.
Genetics is the most common cause. Other factors include scars, autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata, and reduced follicle response to growth hormones.
A suitable candidate has a healthy donor area with enough hair follicles. At Liv Hospital, this is confirmed through a detailed medical evaluation.
Yes. Beard transplantation can effectively restore hair growth in scarred areas by implanting healthy follicles into the affected skin.
In some cases, hormone testing may be recommended if a medical condition is suspected to be affecting hair growth.
No. The evaluation is non-invasive and involves visual examination and digital imaging. It is a comfortable and informative process.
