Transplant
MENU
A beard transplant is a procedure that permanently thickens the beard, evens its line, unifies it, and replenishes defects. Since facial hair has become trendy once more, this method is gaining more and more followers every year, including female advocates who encourage their partners to take advantage of the procedure.
How is the facial hair transplant procedure done? What method is used?
A beard transplant is performed using the manual FUE method. During the procedure, the physician manually harvests the hair follicles for the procedure, separates and selects them under a microscope, and then implants them into the previously prepared recipient area.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The transplant is completely painless, no stitches are required, and hence no visible scars remain after the procedure.
