What is a beard transplant?

A beard transplant is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance or restore the growth of facial hair in areas where it is sparse or absent.

This procedure is typically performed using a technique called hair transplantation, which involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and implanting them into the beard area.

A beard transplant can improve a man’s facial hairiness, thicken his existing beard, or fill with bald spots. It will leave patients with a natural and permanent look that blends nicely with the texture and style of their natural hair in other areas of their face.

How does a beard transplant work?

At Dr. Ducu Clinic we offer the FUE beard transplant in London, provided by specialised doctors.

During a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) beard transplant, hair follicles are individually harvested from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, using a small punch tool.

These follicles are then meticulously implanted into the beard area, where they take root and begin to grow new hair. Over time, the transplanted hairs blend seamlessly with existing facial hair, resulting in a fuller and more natural-looking beard.

The FUE beard transplant London procedure

1. Consultation

The process begins with a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon at Dr. Ducu Clinics in London. During this consultation, your goals for beard appearance are discussed, and the surgeon assesses factors such as the quality and density of your existing facial hair, skin condition, and suitability for the procedure.

2. Harvasting the Hair Follicles

Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using either the follicular unit extraction (FUE). Individual follicles are extracted using a small punch tool, leaving tiny, nearly invisible scars. Local anaesthesia is administered.

3. Recipient site preparation and transplantation

The recipient area of the beard is prepared by making small incisions or punctures where the hair follicles will be implanted. The surgeon carefully designs the placement and distribution of the follicles to achieve the desired beard shape and density.

The harvested hair follicles are carefully implanted into the recipient sites using specialised instruments. The surgeon ensures that the follicles are placed at the correct angle and depth to mimic natural hair growth.

4. Post-Transplant Care

After the beard transplant, you will be provided with instructions for post-transplant care. These may include gentle cleansing of the recipient area, avoiding activities that could disrupt the newly implanted follicles, and taking prescribed medications to aid healing and prevent infection.

In the weeks and months following the procedure, the transplanted hair follicles gradually take root and begin to grow new hair. Full results are typically visible within several months to a year after the procedure.

FUE beard transplant London VS other techniques

When considering a beard transplant in London, the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method stands out as the most efficient, safe, and effective approach for achieving natural-looking results. Unlike traditional transplant methods, which can involve more invasive techniques and potentially leave noticeable scarring, FUE carefully extracts individual hair follicles from the donor area and places them with precision in the beard region. 

This meticulous process minimises trauma to the skin, speeds up healing, and significantly reduces scarring. Compared to older methods, FUE also provides a higher degree of customisation, allowing for a more tailored and fuller-looking beard that blends seamlessly with natural hair patterns. 

If you are seeking a high-quality, minimally invasive solution for beard restoration, FUE beard transplant offers a level of precision and aesthetic excellence that other methods simply can’t match.

Beard transplant - Frequently asked questions

A good candidate for an FUE beard transplant is typically someone who desires a fuller or more symmetrical beard and has realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes. Ideal candidates have sufficient donor hair available, usually from the back or sides of the scalp, for transplantation into the beard area.

Local anaesthesia is typically administered to numb the donor and recipient areas, which helps minimise any discomfort during the harvesting and implantation of hair follicles. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.

 FUE beard transplant surgery is highly successful in restoring natural-looking hair growth for individuals experiencing facial hair loss when performed by a skilled surgeon and followed by proper post-operative care. It’s essential for patients to have realistic expectations and to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine their candidacy for the procedure.

Yes, the results of an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) beard transplant surgery are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are typically harvested from areas of the scalp where hair growth is genetically programmed to be permanent, such as the back or sides of the head. Once these follicles are transplanted into the beard area and take root, they continue to grow hair indefinitely, just like the natural hair on the scalp.

In Alopecia barbae, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles in the beard area, leading to patchy or complete hair loss. While beard transplants involve transplanting healthy hair follicles from donor areas to the affected areas of the beard, the success of the transplant depends on several factors, such as the underlying cause of Alopecia or the potential for recurrence. Contact us to discuss your hair loss condition and eventual solutions.

With FUE beard surgery, our surgeons utilise instruments with a diameter of less than 1mm, minimising the likelihood of visible scarring in the moustache, sideburn, or beard regions.

Like any surgical procedure, FUE facial hair transplant surgery carries some inherent risks, although they are typically minimal when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. Some potential risks associated with FUE facial hair transplant surgery include bleeding, swelling or bruising. These are usually temporary and resolve within a week or two.

In the first few days after the procedure, the transplanted area may appear red and slightly swollen. Following the initial healing phase, the transplanted hair follicles enter a resting phase, during which the newly implanted follicles may shed. After the resting phase, which typically lasts for a few weeks to a few months, the transplanted hair follicles begin to regrow new hair. Patients typically begin to see visible results from their FUE beard transplant within a few months after the procedure.

After the beard transplant surgery you will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor the progress of healing and facial hair growth. During these appointments, the surgeon may remove any sutures, assess the healing of the facial skin, and provide further instructions for post-operative care.
