Beard Transplant in Glasgow

The exact graft number for your beard transplant will be determined during your consultation based on the following factors:

• The exact design 
• The size of the area
• The desired density
• The number of the pre-existing beard hair 
• The hair calibre of the donor area.

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

The beard hair transplant surgery at our clinic can last between two and seven hours depending on the area that needs filling in.

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

1. We use tiny punches with a diameter of 0.7 mm to extract healthy hair follicles from the donor site, which minimises trauma and ensures only suitable single and double hair follicles are harvested.
2. For minor cases requiring less than 300 grafts, we can use scalp hair or beard follicles from the area under the chin. For the rest of the cases, we harvest suitable hair follicles from the back and sides of the head.
3. We directly implant the follicles in the recipient area using hair implanter pens, a graft placement technique known as Direct Hair Implantation or DHI. No premade incisions are made on your face. The whole procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.

The FUE beard hair transplants are performed under local anaesthesia. Some patients feel uncomfortable receiving injections, so we use the Kinetic Anaesthesia Device. This device helps deliver local anaesthetic more comfortably, so the rest of the procedure will be painless.

The healing after the FUE beard transplant is rapid. There may be a few tiny crusts around each newly implanted hair follicle, but they should fall off within a few days. Your new beard should be ready for trimming after about two weeks.

Minor side effects, such as redness disappear within a few weeks. Then you sit back, plan your hip new beard style, and wait about three months for the new facial hair to grow. When the area has healed, you can start shaving your face again.

Aftercare Guide

Although you may see results almost immediately, it is also normal for the initially transplanted hairs to fall out in preparation for regrowth. If that occurs, you should start noticing new hair growth on your face after three months.

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