Beard transplant

Transplant method

A beard transplant can be performed using either the FUE or DHI method. In the case of beard hair, DHI is usually the better choice as it allows for more precise direction of hair growth, which is more significant for facial hair than for scalp hair. Both methods are detailed on the subpages related to hair transplants for the scalp. Links below:

Qualification

We provide professional advice on qualification for the procedure 7 days a week. Simply send us online photos of your beard and head (back and sides), and based on them, we will assess the situation and determine if transplantation is advisable and to what extent.

Qualification is free and is the first step you need to take to schedule the procedure.

What does the procedure look like?

MEDICAL CONSULTATION

Based on the photos submitted, the doctor will assess the quality of the donor area and determine the possible number of grafts to be transplanted. A recommendation for the method of the procedure will also be presented. The crucial consultation occurs at the clinic, before the procedure. Then, the extent of the transplant and the transplant zones will be established. A detailed medical interview will be conducted, along with photographic documentation. Blood tests will be performed before the consultation. Throughout the entire consultation, our caretaker will be present to translate all conversations with the doctor.

GRAFT HARVESTING

The graft harvesting phase begins with local anesthesia. This only takes about 5 minutes and involves minimal pain caused by the use of needles.

After properly preparing the donor area, individual hair follicles are extracted individually using FUE micro-tools (a micromotor equipped with a 0.5 - 0.7 mm blade). The extracted follicles typically contain an average of 2-3 hairs. The doctor's experience ensures that the hair follicles are harvested without damage. The use of micro-tools ensures the safety of the procedure and a short recovery period for the donor area. During the extraction, you lie on a special bed, head down. The entire procedure is conducted under local anesthesia and is completely painless.

QUALITY CONTROL

The harvested hair follicles are cleaned and subjected to a quality analysis.

GRAFT PLACEMENT

Depending on the chosen method of the procedure, the harvested and sorted grafts are placed using Choi pens (DHI method) or implanted into previously made channels (FUE method). During this stage, you lie on your back, and you are free to read, listen to music, or watch television, which is available in the treatment room. This is the final stage of the hair transplant using the DHI technique. After the procedure, a platelet-rich plasma treatment is performed, and dressings are applied to the donor area (these will be removed the next day during a follow-up at the clinic).

TWO DIFFERENT DONOR AREAS POSSIBLE

In beard transplantation, it is possible to harvest grafts from both the back of the head and the beard area (from under the chin to the neck), depending on the size of the gaps in the beard and the quality of the donor areas. The doctor will indicate the harvesting sites based on the qualification for the procedure.

Stem cells

During the procedure, stem cells are harvested and separated. Their application during the procedure stimulates hair growth and ensures faster skin regeneration. This treatment is standard with every transplant and does not require any additional payment.

Hair Growth Timeline

The first transplanted hairs will start to grow about 3 months after the procedure, so you need to be patient. In the initial phase, about 30% of the transplanted hairs will grow, and each subsequent month will bring additional growth and densification. By around the 8th month, you should have about 80-90% of the target amount of hair on your beard. The final result is typically achieved after about 12 months. After that, the hairs only increase in thickness and become more flexible.

Goals of the Transplant

The main goal of the procedure is to reconstruct facial hair or fill in gaps in the beard.
