Beard Hair Transplant

The tools used to extract hair follicles from the donor area is less than 1mm in diameter. Scarring is often down to the skills of surgeons – our doctors are amongst the top in their field of hair transplantation, with international recognition, and they have spent years establishing methods to avoid visible scarring. There will be no visible scarring on the beard, moustache or sideburn area.

You may experience a degree of redness in the treated area but this will subside within a few days. Hair transplanted for the head may require extra care and attention. Our team will be available to guide you through the aftercare procedure should you have any further questions at any point, as part of our aftercare commitment.

There is little to no down time with the FUE Beard Transplant Procedure as only a local anaesthetic is used. After the procedure patients are able to leave the clinic immediately and continue on with their normal routine.

We can only give an accurate quote after consultation as we work on a case-by-case basis for your individual requirements. We work by hair, not graft, which allows us to choose only the strongest and healthiest follicles for transplantation.

The cost of Beard and Facial Hair Transplants – beard, goatee, sideburns, etc. entirely depend on the extent of patchiness or hair loss you are experiencing and the average price can range from £3,000 to £7,000, depending on the number of hairs required to cover the area.

A Beard transplant is a specialised form of facial hair transplantation.

Facial hair transplants are designed to increase hair on the face. They work by removing hair from one part of the body and inserting it into areas on the face including the chin, cheeks, or neck.

Like all types of hair transplants, the process involves using your own hair to create new hair growth.

We use hair from the back of the head, known as the donor area. This hair is then transplanted to the chin, cheeks and/or neck to increase the size, shape and density of the beard.

To find out more about how beard hair transplant work, book a consultation with one of our expert hair transplant surgeons.

Beard hair transplants are pain-free procedures. You will have local anaesthetic injected into all the areas being treated which should numb the area.

You may feel slight discomfort but our expert hair transplant surgeons will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.

After your procedure, once the anaesthetic starts to wear off, you may experience some inflammation and redness in the areas treated. This is usually tolerated well, but painkillers can be taken to help.

The length of time that a beard hair transplant takes to perform will depend on the number of hairs being transplanted and the size of the area being treated.

We say anywhere from 3 to 9 hours as a guide, but a more accurate time can be confirmed once we know the details of your procedure.

A beard hair transplant is performed in two stages. The first stage is the extraction of the hair follicles from the back of the head. You will then have a break where you can have something to eat and stretch your legs. The second stage will be the transplantation of the hair follicles to the facial area.

Whilst you will see the shape of your new beard immediately following your beard transplant procedure, it will take some time to grow with many not seeing the full results until 9 – 12 months post-procedure.

Around 15-30 days after surgery, you may notice shedding of the beard hair. This is normal and to be expected. After around 2 months most of the hair follicles will have settled into place. At around 4 months you will start to notice more coverage and density. From 9 months onwards, your beard should be able to fully grow just like a natural beard would.

Patients should wait until at least 10 days but ideally 2 weeks after their procedure before shaving their beard. Check that the area is free from any scabbing or crusting, the area should be fully healed before you shave.

When shaving for the first time, we recommend using scissors or clippers rather than a razor. A razor is best used after 4 months once the hair follicles are more established.

Your hair transplant surgeon will provide more detailed advice on shaving after a beard transplant following your procedure.

Our hair transplant surgeons are specialised in beard hair transplant and pride themselves on achieving the most natural-looking results.

Hair grafts extracted from the head will take some time to learn how to grow like beard hairs. The new hairs may need additional trimming to start with but after a few months, they should take on the behaviour of the surrounding hair follicles.

A beard hair transplant is a permanent hair restoration treatment.

The hair follicles are taken from an area of the scalp where the hair is less prone to thinning or falling out. This means the hair transplanted into the facial area should grow naturally for many years.

If you choose a surgeon who is experienced in facial hair transplants and follow the correct aftercare instructions then beard transplant failure will be rare.

Possible reasons for beard transplant failure include

• Inexperienced Surgeons
• Poor Candidate
• Not following the aftercare
• Unrealistic Expectations

Choosing an experienced hair transplant surgeon is the best way to ensure a successful beard transplant. Do not rush the recovery process, follow all the aftercare advice and look after your newly transplanted beard hair.
