FAQs About Beard Hair Transplant
Duration of procedures
Basics of the procedure
Have a look at our brief guide to how hair transplantation works – this is the basics of every procedure. Our experienced team extracts donor hairs (grafts) from the area located at the back of the patient’s head and replants these on the recipient site – in this case a patient’s beard, moustache and eyebrows.

Recovery following a transplant
Scabs left after implantation are gone after about 10 days. Redness on the donor and implantation area will start subsiding after that. Foir most patients it takes approximately 14 days to heal fully after this procedure. Full results can be assessed after 8-12 months, however you will see regrowth much earlier. It is important to follow correct aftercare following your hair transplant.
Anatomy & Physiology
The shape and direction of facial hair growth differs in different areas of the face.
Most of the follicles on the face are single-haired.
The hair growing on the beard is much thicker than the hair growing on the head.
Due to the fact that in some areas of the face the hair grafts do not have keratin, the hair on the beard grows in a figured manner and at a certain length has a wavy shape.
Features Of Facial Hair Transplantation
For facial hair transplantation, donor grafts must be meticulously selected based on their quality and implanted at precise depths to replicate the natural curvature of facial hair. In the perioral region, where muscular activity is most pronounced, donor grafts should be positioned with flexibility. The transplant surgeon must carefully consider the natural orientation of facial lines and wrinkles during implantation. Accurate determination of the required number of donor grafts is critical, ensuring neither an excess nor a deficiency to achieve optimal results. The transplantation process should utilize only single-hair grafts to maintain a natural appearance. Surgical instruments must be exceptionally sharp and of minimal diameter to prevent visible marks or scarring on the delicate facial skin.Key Points to take
Since donor grafts from the back of the head are used for beard hair transplantation, the growth of natural and implanted facial hair may differ in speed and time.
Facial skin is much thinner and more delicate than scalp skin, so after transplantation, temporary redness may be observed in the implantation area for 15-20 days, similar to a light tan.
Donor grafts for beard formation may differ in color or thickness from the original hair on the face. All their qualities and color will be exactly the same as before transplantation in the donor area from which they are extracted. However, after a certain time, donor hair adapts to the new place of residence. For example, this happens when the hair on the head and beard differ in color.
Remember that any hair transplant is not magic, but a modern technology, therefore, in accordance with natural physiological processes, the final result of your transplant will be visible in 8-12 months.
