Buraydah has rapidly evolved into a regional hub for specialized cosmetic procedures. While scalp hair restoration in burryadh(زراعة الشعر في بريدة) remains the "gold standard," there is a surging interest in beard and eyebrow transplants among men and women looking to redefine their facial symmetry and confidence.
Here is a look at how these procedures are being handled in the Qassim region.
1. Beard Transplants: The "Quest for the Perfect Frame"
In local culture, a well-groomed beard is often associated with masculinity and maturity. Many men in Buraydah seek transplants to fill in "patchy" areas or to create a more defined jawline.
The Technique: Most clinics use FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). Individual follicles are taken from the back of the scalp and implanted into the beard area at specific angles to mimic natural growth.
The Challenge: Unlike scalp hair, beard hair grows in different directions depending on its location (chin vs. cheek). Skilled surgeons in Buraydah focus heavily on the angle of insertion to ensure the result doesn't look "pluggy."
Recovery: Expect 3–7 days of redness and minor swelling. The "new" hair will actually shed after a few weeks (don't panic!) before growing back permanently.
2. Eyebrow Transplants: Precision Artistry
Whether due to over-plucking, genetics, or scarring, eyebrow transplants have become a popular way to achieve a permanent "bold brow" look without the need for daily makeup or microblading.
Fine-Tuning: Only the thinnest hairs from the nape of the neck are used to ensure the texture matches natural eyebrow hair.
Design: Clinics often use facial mapping to determine the arch and tail position that best suits the patient's bone structure.
Maintenance Note: Since the transplanted hair comes from the scalp, it will continue to grow at the rate of scalp hair. This means you’ll need to trim your eyebrows every week or two.
Choosing a Clinic in Buraydah
While there are several reputable medical centers in the city, you should vet them based on these three pillars:
| Feature | What to Look For |
| Specialization | Does the surgeon have a portfolio specific to facial hair? (It’s a different skill set than scalp hair). |
| Technology | Look for clinics offering DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), which often allows for higher density and faster healing. |
| Follow-up | Local clinics are preferable because you’ll need 2–3 check-ups in the first year to monitor growth. |
Key Considerations Before You Book
Realistic Expectations: It takes about 6 to 12 months to see the full, final results.
The "Donor" Area: You need a healthy "bank" of hair at the back of your head. If you are significantly balding on top, the surgeon might prioritize your scalp over your beard.
Cost: While more affordable than Riyadh or Jeddah, quality facial transplants in Buraydah are still an investment, usually priced by the number of grafts.
Pro Tip: If you're considering a beard transplant, don't shave for at least a week before your consultation. This helps the doctor see your natural growth patterns and density gaps more clearly.
