Beard transplantation is a surgical procedure that restores or enhances facial hair in areas where growth is thin, patchy, or absent. It is performed using techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), where healthy hair follicles are taken from the scalp and implanted into the beard, mustache, sideburns, or jawline.

The doctor evaluates your facial structure, hair pattern, and desired beard shape to design a natural and customized plan.
Hair follicles are harvested individually from the back of the scalp—an area with thick, permanent hair.
Using precise tools, each follicle is implanted into the beard area, matching the angle, direction, and density of natural beard growth.Â
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 4 to 6 hours, depending on the number of grafts.

Men of all hair types and ethnic backgrounds can benefit from beard transplantation. The procedure is highly customizable.
Mild redness, swelling, or small scabs in the beard area are normal and usually fade within 5 to 7 days. You can resume non-strenuous activities after 1 to 2 days. The transplanted hair will shed after a few weeks—a normal part of the process—followed by new hair growth beginning around the third month. Full results are seen by 9 to 12 months.
Once healed, transplanted beard hair can be shaved, trimmed, or styled like natural facial hair.
