What is a Beard Transplant?

Beard transplants are a subcategory of facial hair transplantation. While all components of a beard are essential, the highest-ranked features included a strong goatee and cheek beards.

Based on the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) statistics, facial implants (beard and moustache) increased 196% worldwide from 2012 to 2014 and 121% from 2014 to 2019. 

Genetics is a common cause of sparse facial hair for many men. However, some other reasons patients may turn to a FUE hair transplant for beard hair growth are:

  • Conditions like congenital beard atrichia and hypotrichosis, where there is the complete or partial congenital absence of beard hair due to aplasia of the hair follicle
  • Cicatricial alopecia due to burns, injuries, folliculitis, acne sequelae, cleft lip, or surgeries
  • Gender-affirming masculinisation for FtM transgender patients

Patchy hair loss in the beard can also be the result of alopecia barbae, an autoimmune condition and form of alopecia areata that causes your body to attack your beard hair follicles. However, someone with alopecia barbae is not a suitable candidate for a beard hair transplant, as their immune system will attack the transplanted hair follicles.

During the consultation for your hair transplant at our Glasgow clinic, you will be able to discuss the type of beard you are looking for and receive an estimated cost of your beard restoration treatment.

With the WAW Duo FUE system, we achieve high-density beard transplants by extracting robust grafts with minimal trauma. This ensures a fuller, natural appearance.

Most Common Areas for Beard Hair Implants

Some patients want a fuller beard, designer stubble aesthetic, or moustache transplant to complete their desired look. Others may need a beard patch transplant to fill in bald patches within their existing beard. 

During your consultation at our clinic, Dr Bonaros will advise you on the best way to achieve natural-looking results that suit your specific hair characteristics.

Common areas of the face that are filled in with more hair follicles are:

  • Sideburns
  • Cheeks
  • Moustache area
  • Chin

Great attention is given to restoring the beard’s lateral pillars (Figure 1) that connect the moustache to the chin, forming the goatee. In this way, we can also use a transplant procedure to fill a patchy beard.

Beard Hair Transplant - FAQs

We have outlined some of the most frequently asked questions about our FUE beard hair transplant procedure below. These include queries such as “How much does a hair transplant for a beard cost? and “Are beard hair transplants painful?”

If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Glasgow hair transplant clinic. You can also book an online consultation to discuss your facial hair issues and get a beard surgery cost estimate.

When it comes to beard transplants, every case is different. The exact graft count for your beard transplant will be determined during your consultation and based on the following factors:

  • The design of your beard
  • The size of the area needing coverage
  • Your desired hair density
  • Your pre-existing beard hair 
  • The hair calibre of the donor area

The total beard graft counts for an effective beard transplant can range from 300 grafts for a small patch to 3000 grafts for a full, dense beard.

Depending on the area that needs filling in, a beard hair transplant surgery at our Glasgow hair transplant clinic can last between two and seven hours. The entire facial hair implant procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.

The basic principles of beard hair transplantation are the same as a routine FUE hair transplant. 

  1. During a partial or full beard transplant, healthy hair is harvested with our advanced FUE technique.We use tiny punches with a diameter of 0.7mm to extract hair follicles from the donor site. The FUE method minimises trauma and ensures only suitable single and double hair follicles are harvested.
  2. Generally, we harvest suitable hair follicles for a beard transplant from a donor area on the back and sides of the head. However, for minor cases requiring less than 300 grafts, we can use scalp hair or beard follicles from the area under the chin. 
  3. Dr Bonaros, with the help of his Glasgow hair transplant team, will then implant individual hair follicles into the recipient area using hair implanter pens. Known as Direct Hair Implantation, this graft placement technique eliminates the need for premade incisions on your face. 

Some of the most common questions we receive are “Is a beard transplant painful?” and “How much is a beard transplant going to hurt?” 

The short answer is no. All our FUE beard transplants are performed under local anaesthetic, so you can have as pleasant an experience as possible. 

It is not uncommon for some patients to feel uncomfortable receiving injections, especially when undergoing a facial hair surgery procedure. This is why we use the Kinetic Anaesthesia Device to deliver local anaesthetic more comfortably during facial hair implants. 

Knowing how much your beard hair transplant will cost is key to financial planning. However, just like the procedure itself, a beard transplant price will vary between patients and clinics. The average beard transplant cost in the UK is around £5,000 across various hair transplant clinics.

At our Glasgow hair transplant clinic, your total beard restoration cost will depend mainly on the number of grafts used for the procedure. The more grafts you require, the more your facial hair transplant will cost.

  • One full-day procedure with 1,000–2,000 hair grafts can cost between £4,000 and £7,000.
  • However, some patients require 3,000–4,000 grafts. Carried out over two days, these kinds of extensive beard implants can cost between £10,000 and £12,000.

Beard Transplant Result by Dr. Bonaros

A remarkable beard transplant result by Dr. Bonaros.

Your new beard should be ready for trimming after about two weeks. After about three months, new facial hair will begin to grow. When the area has healed, you can start shaving your beard hairs once again.

At the Dr Bonaros hair loss clinic, we perform Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) transplants rather than relying on the traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method. The advanced techniques and minimally invasive nature of FUE beard hair transplants make this one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery for beard growth.

Aftercare Guide

The healing after the FUE beard transplant is rapid, and there is minimal scarring at the donor area where the extracted hairs were taken from.

You may notice some crusts around each newly implanted hair follicle, but they should fall off within a few days. Other minor side effects, such as redness, should disappear within a few weeks of your beard hair implant procedure.

You should start noticing new hair growth on your face three months after your beard growth surgery. While some patients may see beard transplant results almost immediately, it is also common for the initially transplanted hairs to fall out in preparation for regrowth. This is a normal side effect and nothing to worry about.

Timeline & Recovery

The transplanted beard hair will grow gradually as new individual hairs, and your final results will be visible about a year after your procedure. Patients who undergo a beard transplant procedure will enjoy thicker, fuller, and more permanent facial hair.

Before your FUE procedure, it is important to have an overview of your post-operative beard transplant timeline. This involves an understanding of your healing process, as well as what you can expect to see at different stages of your beard transplant before and after comparison.

Jackie Lambert
Dr Bonaros is an incredibly talent doctor in his field and has provided me with a wonderful hair transplant result. Finding information and pictures for female hair transplants was really hard. Hair is such a defining part of us all that is not realised until you start to lose your hair.
I suffered female pattern balding and hair thinning due to menopause and became very self conscious. I was worried about the treatment (as many on line photos looked so horrific), pain, recovery time, would it work, results etc. I also didn't want to lose more hair over the coming years, but also didn't want to have my head shaved at the back for the transplant.
Dr Bonaros answered all my questions and was such a knowledgeable and calming person that I knew he was the doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
On the day of the transplant, he and his team were amazing and so very kind and took great care of me. The aftercare and regular check ups were great.
I have just celebrated by first hair transplant birthday and the result are fantastic. I have consented for Dr Bonaros to share all of my journey photos with any other women out there contemplating this treatment. I cannot recommend highly enough. My hair is thicker and fuller and I even have a full fringe now.
Peter Walker
Can't thank the Dr and the team enough for such great work on my hair. It's been a year and I'm delighted with the results of my 4000 graft procedure.

The team were kind, professional and patient during the consultation stage. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

During the operation every step was explained and the experience was made as comfortable as possible over the two days of my 4000 graft procedure. It's a morning of extractions from the donor area and an afternoon of inserting them into the recipient area with lunch provided. I brought some in-ear headphones for a podcast to pass the time and it does fly by. Dr Bonaros was present at all times performing the extractions and graft placement. They worked non-stop during this time.

The post operation care package you get home and the follow up emails and appointments to ask questions really made the whole post care process easy at what is a sensitive time.

Fully recovered and seeing the results, it's gave me a lot of confidence and looking back at old photographs I really do not regret having it done, I wish I did it sooner.

Really appreciate what the clinic has done for me. Thank you Dr Bonaros and Team!

Can’t thank dr Bonaros and the team enough,

I found them to be extremely professional, reassuring and kind.

I work an operating theatre environment so I guess I was a bit of a tough customer however I was very impressed with my hair transplant from first consultation to the operation itself.

I’m now 4 months out and have loads of hair growth, my confidence has been renewed massively and my only regret is not having the treatment sooner!

Thanks again

Kind regards

Graham

Cayden
I had a 2000 graft hair transplant with Dr Bonaros just over a year ago. It was painless, very easy on my part (I just had to lie in different positions and amuse myself) and Dr Bonaros and his team were super informative and happily answered all of my questions both during our initial consult and the procedure itself.

I was seen at 8:50am and we finished up I believe around 4pm, with an hour lunch break (the surgery provided a hot lunch, and were very accommodating with my dietary needs)

Aftercare was very well explained and I was given all the necessary equipment and care instructions for my recovery.

I had no complications during or after the transplant, and healing with a lot easier than I expected. Patience and time are the main factors for the months after your transplant.

I am over the moon with my results, I am so much more confident and my self-esteem has come on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!

From the very beginning, the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the process in great detail

The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. The recovery went well, and I was provided with clear instructions and a goody bag to take away to aid my recovery.

I highly recommend that everyone consult with Dr. Bonaro and his staff before making a final decision. You won't regret it!
