What is a beard transplant?
A beard transplant, also known as a beard graft or beard implant, is an aesthetic treatment that allows for the restoration of hair in areas without facial hair. It is designed for men with low beard density, patchy areas in the beard, mustache, or sideburns, or for those who simply wish to enhance the shape and volume of their natural beard. The procedure is based on advanced hair grafting techniques, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which ensures natural, permanent, and safe results.
How is the beard transplant procedure performed?
- Initial Assessment: The first step is a personalized consultation. During this session, the specialist evaluates your facial structure, the quality of hair in the donor area (usually the back of the scalp), and determines the ideal distribution of facial hair.
- Follicle Extraction: Using the FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction), follicular units are individually extracted from the donor area. This process is minimally invasive and leaves no visible scars.
- Design and Channel Creation: Once the follicles are collected, the aesthetic design of the beard, mustache, or sideburns is planned. The surgeon creates microchannels following the natural direction of hair growth to ensure a natural-looking result.
- Implantation: Finally, the follicles are implanted one by one. The entire procedure typically lasts between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the number of units needed.
Who is a good candidate for a beard transplant?
This treatment is suitable for:
- Men with areas lacking facial hair in the beard, mustache, or sideburns
- Individuals with facial scars or burns
- Transgender patients undergoing gender-affirming processes
- Anyone seeking to increase the density of their natural beard
Ideally, candidates should be in good general health and have an adequate donor area.
Preoperative tests
Before the transplant, a few tests are performed to ensure your safety:
- Basic bloodwork (CBC, coagulation, etc.)
- Review of medical history
- Examination of the skin and hair type
The specialist will inform you if you need to stop taking certain medications or follow any special care instructions prior to the procedure.
Postoperative care
Recovery is simple, but it requires attention:
- Avoid touching or scratching the grafted area
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few days
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Use only gentle products recommended by the doctor
- Follow all scheduled follow-up appointments and treatments
Swelling and redness usually subside within a few days. You can typically resume your normal routine in 2–3 weeks.

Frequently asked questions about beard transplant
Are the results natural?
Yes. By using your own hair and placing it according to the natural direction of beard growth, the results look very natural and harmonious.
Is the procedure painful?
It is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. There may be slight discomfort in the following days.
How long does the procedure take?
It usually lasts between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the number of follicles to be transplanted and the size of the area to be treated.
When will I see the final results?
The final result is visible between 6 and 12 months. Initially, the transplanted follicles may fall out, but they will grow back permanently.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients only need one session. In specific cases, a second session may be recommended to perfect the results.
Can the transplanted hair be shaved or trimmed?
Yes, once it has fully grown (around the 4th month), you can shave, trim, or style the beard as you wish. The hair behaves like natural facial hair.
Is it a permanent treatment?
Yes, the transplanted follicles are permanent and will continue growing for life, just like the rest of your facial hair.
What are the risks of a beard transplant?
Like any medical procedure, a beard transplant carries some risks, although they are rare when performed in a specialized clinic. The main ones include:
- Infection: Rare, but can occur if proper hygiene measures are not followed during or after the procedure. Following post-operative instructions is essential.
- Swelling or redness: It’s normal to feel some swelling or sensitivity in the first few days. If it persists, consult your doctor.
- Visible scars: When performed correctly, scarring is minimal or invisible. Poor technique may leave marks, especially in the donor area.
- Temporary hair shedding (effluvium): Some transplanted hairs may fall out in the first few weeks. This is normal and part of the process before new growth begins.
- Unnatural results: This can happen if the follicles are not placed in the correct direction or density. That’s why it’s vital to choose experienced professionals.
- Rejection or lack of growth: In rare cases, some follicles may not adapt. A second session may be considered.
- Allergic reactions to anesthesia or medications: Very rare, but they are assessed beforehand through a complete medical history.
