Beard Transplants

A beard transplant can help create fuller facial hair or improve patchy areas by moving healthy donor follicles to the beard or moustache area.

Who it is suitable for

Suitability depends on the extent of thinning, the desired result and the quality and quantity of donor hair available.

The procedure

Donor follicles are usually harvested from the scalp using FUE or FUT, then implanted into the face in a pattern that follows natural beard growth.

Recovery timeline

Visible side effects often settle within about a week. Transplanted hairs may shed in the first few weeks before new growth develops. Shaving, strenuous exercise, sun exposure and smoking may need to be avoided for set periods after surgery.

Risks and limitations

Possible side effects include bruising, swelling, tightness, sensitivity, ingrown hairs, redness and crusting. FUE and FUT have different scarring profiles.

Questions about this treatment

How much does a hair transplant cost?

The cost varies from patient to patient and normally needs a consultation. It depends on whether treatment is appropriate, the extent of thinning, the area that needs treatment and the most suitable method. Finance options may be available subject to status.

Clinically reviewed: Review before public launch.

Is a hair transplant painful?

A hair transplant should not be painful once local anaesthetic has taken effect. The first few injections can be uncomfortable, but after that most patients mainly feel pressure rather than pain.

Clinically reviewed: Review before public launch.

When will I see results after a hair transplant?

Early growth often begins at around 3 to 4 months. Thickness and fullness continue to develop gradually, with final results commonly seen between 12 and 18 months.

Clinically reviewed: Review before public launch.

What is the difference between FUE and FUT?

FUE removes individual follicles one at a time. FUT removes a narrow donor strip that is then dissected into follicular units. Both can produce strong results, but the harvesting method and scarring pattern are different.

Clinically reviewed: Review before public launch.

Will a hair transplant leave scars?

Any surgical procedure that breaks the skin can leave scarring. FUE usually leaves small dot-like marks, while FUT leaves a fine linear scar in the donor area.
