A beard transplant is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the density and fullness of your beard. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which hair follicles are transplanted from a donor area (usually the back of the head) to the beard area, creating a natural and fuller beard.
Most people with patchy or thin beards may consider a beard transplant. However, it is essential that you consult a qualified surgeon to determine your suitability and discuss your specific goals.
The duration of a beard transplant can vary depending on the extent of the transplant. Typically, the procedure takes several hours. Exactly how long it takes can be discussed during your consultation.
Beard transplants are generally well tolerated. We administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, minimizing discomfort during surgery. Postoperatively, there may be some mild discomfort or swelling, but this is manageable with pain medication.
Recovery varies from person to person, but most people can return to their normal activities within a week. You will receive postoperative grooming instructions and you can expect some scabs at first, which will gradually disappear as your beard heals.
