How Does a Beard Transplant Work?
​
The Procedure: What to Expect
​
A beard transplant involves taking hair follicles from a donor area (usually from the back of your head) and transplanting them into areas of your face where hair growth is sparse or absent. The procedure is minimally invasive and we purely use the more advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using a small punch tool. These follicles are then transplanted into the beard area to create a fuller, thicker appearance. Some people refer to these as implants or hair plugs but a follicular unit that is transplanted is correctly known as a 'graft' and may contain between 1-4 hairs as part of that unit (similar to how a plant can have several stems).
The Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. The length of the procedure depends on the number of grafts being transplanted, but it usually takes between 5 to 7 hours.
​
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
​
After the transplant, patients typically experience some swelling, redness, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. You will also experience scabbing around the transplant sites, which is part of the natural healing process.
In terms of recovery time, most patients can return to work and their normal activities within 7 to 10 days. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and sunbathing or swimming for the first few weeks. Our team will provide you with specific post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
​
Hair Growth After a Beard Transplant
​
Initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure, although the transplanted hair will shed during the first few weeks. This is completely normal and part of the hair’s growth cycle. New hair will begin to grow back within 3 months, with full results visible between 9 and 12 months.
Your transplanted hair will grow just like the rest of your facial hair, and you can begin trimming it to your desired length and style after about three to four weeks. Because the hair follicles are taken from the back of your head, they will retain the same natural characteristics, including texture, colour, and thickness.

What to Expect from Your Beard Transplant Results
Transforming Your Appearance
​
A beard transplant can have a transformative impact on your appearance and confidence. Whether you’re looking to fill in sparse areas, define the shape of your beard, or create a fuller, more masculine look, the procedure can help you achieve your desired results.
Many of our patients report a significant increase in self-esteem after their beard transplant, as they can finally have the thick, well-groomed beard they’ve always wanted. The results are natural-looking, blending seamlessly with your existing facial hair.
​
Long-Term Results
​
Once your new beard begins to grow in, you can expect it to last a lifetime. The hair follicles transplanted during the procedure come from a permanent donor site (the back of your head), meaning they are resistant to the effects of DHT, the hormone responsible for hair loss in many men.
Regular trimming and grooming will be required to maintain the shape and fullness of your beard, but the transplant itself will provide a permanent solution for patchy or thin facial hair.
​
