Transplant

Beard & hair transplant

Patchy beards can be filled, an undefined cheek line can be shaped. The grafts usually come from the back of the head and are placed flat, following the growth direction of beard hair.

Beard alone or together with scalp hair

Some patients come for the beard only; many treat beard and hairline in one trip. Whether both fit into one session depends on how many grafts your donor area can give. When grafts are limited, scalp hair comes first – we discuss this openly.

Angles matter even more on the face than on the scalp. Beard hair grows very flat and in different directions depending on the zone: down on the cheeks, forward on the chin, partly upward on the neck. Our head surgeon places each graft accordingly, usually with the DHI implanter.

Healing on the face

The face has excellent blood supply and heals quickly. Small scabs come off after about a week, and shaving is allowed again after around ten days. As on the scalp, transplanted beard hair sheds first and grows back permanently from month three.

Your stay

    Analysis and procedure

    First comes a trichoscopy to analyse your hair and scalp, plus a blood test and an ECG. Then your individual hairline is drawn.

    This is followed by the extraction and implantation of the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under sedation (“Sleep Deep”). Afterwards you receive a PRP treatment.

  3. Follow-up conversation with our head surgeon at the clinic
    Day 3

    Check-up, first hair wash and departure

    The head surgeon personally checks your donor and recipient areas and carries out the first hair wash himself. This is also included in the package.

    You then have your final consultation and receive all the medication and care products you need, with a detailed explanation of how to use them and of your aftercare.

    From the afternoon, after the final check-up, you can travel home.

How the hair grows back

  1. Patient 10 days after the hair transplant, front hairline

  2. The same patient 30 days after the hair transplant
    30 days The transplanted shafts shed; the roots stay.
  3. The same patient 90 days after the hair transplant
    90 days New, initially fine hair starts to grow.
  4. The same patient 180 days after the hair transplant with dense hair
    180 days Clearly visible density; the hair gets stronger.

Questions about this treatment

Does a transplanted beard look natural?

Yes, when angle and direction are right. Beard hair is set very flat and follows the natural growth direction of each zone of the face.

Can I do beard and scalp at the same time?

Often yes, as long as your donor area gives enough grafts for both. We check this from your photos and tell you honestly what should take priority.

When can I shave again?

After about ten days, once the scabs are gone. Wet shaving with a blade only after checking with the doctor.
