FUE transplantation of your own hair follicles to add density or shape to the beard, moustache and sideburns.
A beard transplant is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance or restore facial hair where it is sparse or absent, typically using the FUE technique.
Follicles are harvested from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and implanted into the beard area.
Individual results: graft survival, density, direction, appearance and longevity vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Follicles are individually harvested with a small punch tool and implanted into planned recipient sites in the beard. Those that establish may produce new hair over time.
Placement is planned around available donor hair, facial-hair pattern and agreed objectives. Scarring, recovery and symmetry vary.
FUE avoids the linear donor scar of strip harvesting, but still creates multiple small wounds and dot-like scars.
Whether FUE suits you depends on donor hair, medical history, skin condition, the cause and stability of hair loss and expectations.
This procedure is typically performed using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, 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 small punch tool is used to create multiple incisions, which heal with dot-like scars of variable visibility.
The recipient area of the beard is prepared by making small incisions or punctures where the hair follicles will be implanted.
These may include guidance on cleansing the recipient area, protecting the grafts, avoiding certain activities and taking any prescribed medicines as directed.
Recovery: Initial recovery is commonly around 7–10 days, although redness, swelling, crusting or other effects may last longer.
Return to normal activities depends on healing and clinical advice.
Their angle, direction, depth and distribution are planned to reflect the agreed beard design, although the final growth pattern and density cannot be guaranteed.
Follicles that successfully establish may begin producing visible growth over several months, with density commonly assessed at around 9–12 months or later.
Dr. Ducu has training and experience in aesthetic medicine and FUE hair restoration for scalp and facial hair.
Performed after a medical assessment and discussion of alternatives and risks. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.
A qualified surgeon discusses your beard goals and assesses existing hair quality and density, skin condition and suitability.
Under local anaesthetic, follicular units are harvested from a suitable donor area with a small punch tool, leaving dot-like scars of variable visibility.
Recipient sites are prepared and follicles implanted with planned angle, direction and distribution to reflect the agreed design.
You receive post-operative instructions. Early shedding is common; growth develops over months, with density assessed at around 9–12 months.
A surgical option for adding hair to selected areas of the beard, moustache or sideburns. Suitability and results vary.

Potential candidates may include adults with realistic expectations, stable facial-hair loss and sufficient suitable donor hair. Suitability also depends on medical history, skin condition, the cause of hair loss and the clinician’s assessment.
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.
Outcomes following FUE beard transplantation vary. Graft survival, density, direction, scarring and cosmetic appearance depend on individual and procedural factors. A consultation is required to assess suitability and establish realistic expectations.
Transplanted follicles that successfully establish may provide long-lasting growth. However, not every graft survives, growth characteristics can change over time and the long-term density and appearance cannot be guaranteed.
Alopecia barbae is an autoimmune condition that can cause patchy or more extensive beard-hair loss. Hair transplantation is not suitable while the condition is active and recurrence may affect transplanted follicles. Assessment by an appropriately qualified clinician is required before transplantation is considered.
FUE uses small punch instruments, but it still creates multiple donor incisions and recipient sites. Dot-like donor scars and visible recipient-area scarring can occur, and their visibility varies according to technique, healing and individual skin characteristics.
FUE facial-hair transplantation carries risks including pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, folliculitis, scarring, numbness or altered sensation, poor or uneven graft growth, asymmetry, unnatural direction or density, shock loss, over-harvesting and dissatisfaction with the cosmetic result. The likelihood, severity and duration of complications vary.
Follow-up appointments may be arranged to assess healing, graft development and facial-hair growth, and to provide further post-operative guidance. Contact the clinic promptly if unexpected or worsening symptoms occur.
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.
At consultation we assess your hair and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
FUE moves individual follicles to areas of thinning or hair loss, where clinically suitable.
