Beard & Moustache Transplantation
Beard and moustache transplantation moves healthy hair follicles, usually from the back of the scalp, to areas of the face where growth is thin, patchy or missing — for example around scars. The new hairs are placed one by one at the angle and direction of your own beard, so the result blends in. Every plan starts with a private consultation.
What to expect.
A well-shaped beard or moustache depends on density, direction and the line where it meets the skin. Your specialist designs these with you before anything is done, and shows you the shape on your face.
You will leave the consultation knowing whether the treatment suits you, how many hairs are likely to be needed and what the process involves — with time to decide.

Step by step.
Your specialist guides you from the first consultation through treatment and follow-up.
- Consultation We examine the area and the donor hair, discuss the beard or moustache you want and check that the treatment suits you.
- Shape design The beard line is drawn on the skin and adjusted until you approve it.
- Treatment day Hairs are taken from the donor area and implanted one by one, under local anaesthesia, following the natural direction of your beard.
- Follow-up We check healing and growth and answer your questions as the new hair settles.
After your treatment.
- Clear written instructions for the first days.
- Avoid touching, scratching or shaving the area until your doctor says it is safe, and keep it clean as instructed.
- Small scabs fall away in the first days to weeks; some transplanted hairs shed before new growth begins, which is normal.
- Growth is gradual; your specialist explains the timeline and arranges follow-up visits.
Common questions.
Who decides the shape?
You do. Your specialist advises on density and the beard line, and the shape is finalised only once you approve it.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Not always. It depends on the cause of the thin growth, the condition of the skin and the donor hair available, which can only be assessed at a consultation.

How much does a beard transplant cost?
There is no single price: it depends on the area to be filled and the number of grafts needed. After the consultation you will know the cost for your case.
Is a beard transplant permanent?
Transplanted hairs are taken from an area that resists hair loss, so they generally keep growing permanently. Your specialist explains what to expect in your case.
Does it hurt?
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. Mild soreness or tightness afterwards is common, and your doctor advises how to manage it.
When will I see the results?
New hairs usually begin to appear after around three to four months and keep thickening over the following months; the full result takes about a year.
Will it look natural?
Yes, when it is planned well: each hair is placed at the angle and direction of your own beard, and the density is matched to the surrounding growth.
Can it fill scars?
In many cases hair can be transplanted into scarred areas, but results depend on the scar tissue. Your specialist will assess this at the consultation.
How soon can I go back to work?
Most people return to normal activities within about a week, depending on the individual. Your doctor advises you on your case.
