Does a beard transplant look natural?

When the direction and angle of each hair are planned correctly, results usually look natural. Planning quality is decisive.

Can I shave afterwards?

Yes — once healed, transplanted hairs can be shaved and trimmed like normal beard hair. Your team will tell you when to start.

Where does the donor hair come from?

Usually the back of the scalp. In some cases chest hair is considered, depending on hair characteristics.

Hair Transplant

Beard Transplant

Restoring beard density with your own hair.

A beard transplant moves hair follicles — usually from the back of the scalp — to patchy or bare areas of the beard and moustache. Follicles are extracted individually with the FUE technique and placed one by one.

Treatment overview

Beard hair has a different growth direction and angle from scalp hair, so placement requires careful planning. The result is permanent, and transplanted hairs continue to grow like beard hair.

Common purposes

Filling patchy beard areas

Treatment process

01
Before treatment
You share clear photos of your beard and the back of your head. Donor capacity and the planned design are assessed.
02
Treatment day
Under local anaesthesia, follicles are extracted and implanted one by one at the planned angles. The procedure usually takes several hours.
03
After treatment
Small crusts and redness are common in the first days. Shaving and touching the area are restricted for a period.
04
Follow-up
Progress is followed with photos. Transplanted hairs shed in the first weeks and regrow over the following months.

Expectations & recovery

Crusts usually shed within about 7–10 days.

Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs is normal.

New growth typically starts at 3–4 months; the final result is assessed around 12 months.

Results and recovery vary from person to person. No outcome can be guaranteed.

Risks & considerations

Potential benefits

Permanent result with your own hair
Natural look when angles are planned well
Can camouflage scars
No daily maintenance products needed

Risks & considerations

Infection, bleeding and swelling
Uneven growth or lower density than expected
Tiny dot scars in the donor area
Ingrown hairs are possible during healing
