For individuals with sparse or no beard growth, the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is used to restore a natural-looking beard. In this method, hair follicles are harvested from the donor area and transplanted into the beard region. Typically, there is no pain or bruising during or after the procedure; however, some patients may experience mild swelling on the face. The first beard and face wash is usually performed two days after the procedure.
After a beard transplant, small scabs may form around the grafts in the treated areas. With daily washing, these scabs will usually fall off within 10 days, leaving the area clean. A recovery period of about 10 days is generally sufficient for patients to return comfortably to work and daily activities.
During the first month after the procedure, some of the transplanted beard hairs may shed. This is a temporary phase; the shed hairs will begin to grow back within 3–4 months. Full results are typically visible after about 1 year.
The primary principle of beard transplantation is to achieve a natural look that is indistinguishable from existing facial hair. Therefore, the procedure must be carefully planned to match the patient’s natural beard density and pattern.
For individuals with no facial hair at all, approximately 3,500–4,000 grafts may be needed to create a full beard, mustache, and under-lip area.
