Beard Transplant

What is Beard Transplant?

Beard transplant is a surgical procedure that uses hair follicles from your scalp (typically the back of the head) to create or enhance facial hair—filling in patchy areas, creating new beards, or covering scars with permanent, natural-looking results.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: The best beard transplant results come from matching hair texture. Your surgeon should select donor hair that best matches your natural beard characteristics. Single-hair grafts are used along edges for the most natural appearance.

⚠️ Insider Note: Don't panic when transplanted hairs fall out at 2-4 weeks—this "shock loss" is completely normal and expected. The follicles remain healthy beneath the skin, and new permanent growth begins around month 3.

Is beard transplant permanent?

Does beard transplant hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is painless during surgery. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, typically rated 2-3/10.

Can I combine beard and hair transplant?

Yes, many patients have both procedures done together in one session. This saves on travel, accommodation, and allows combined recovery time.
