About this procedure

Beard transplants use the same FUE principle as scalp restoration: individual follicles harvested from the back of the scalp are re-implanted into the face to create a new beard, thicken a patchy one, extend sideburns, build a defined goatee, or camouflage acne scars and surgical scar gaps. Graft volumes typically run 1,500–2,500 for moustache or sideburn refinement, 2,500–3,500 for a full moderate-density beard, and up to 4,000 for dense coverage on a bare face. Angle and direction matter more than on the scalp — the surgeon implants each graft to match the natural downward sweep of adjacent facial hair, which is what separates a convincing result from a transplanted look. Expect pinpoint scabbing for 7–10 days, a shedding phase at 2–4 weeks, and visible regrowth from month 3. Final density settles at 9–12 months. The transplanted hair is permanent and keeps its scalp-hair growth cycle (slightly faster than native beard), so you shave and trim it like your own.

Questions

What most patients ask.

Will the transplanted beard grow like real facial hair?+
Yes. The follicles retain their scalp-hair genetic programming at first, but grow in the new facial pattern and texture. You'll be able to shave, trim and grow it like native beard hair.
How soon can I shave?+
No shaving or scrubbing for 14 days. Light gentle cleansing only. Full shaving permitted at 3 weeks.
Will the scalp donor area look thinner?+
Extraction is distributed so donor thinning is invisible. You lose approximately 1% of your donor reserve per 1,000 grafts.
When will the beard look fully grown in?+
Transplanted follicles shed at 2–4 weeks (expected and temporary), with regrowth from month 3. You'll have a clearly visible beard by month 6 and final density, texture and shaping settle around month 9–12.
