Beard Transplantation

Beard Transplantation

Beard implantation is recommended for those who exhibit thinning in this area and wish to permanently restore hair growth. The application of the advanced FUE hair transplantation technique can restore density and cover “minor imperfections.”

It is the most advanced medical solution for individuals seeking a permanent treatment for hair loss, an improvement in shape, or simply an enhancement of hair growth on the cheeks, chin, sideburns, and mustache, or a combination of these areas.

Beard transplantation is based on similar techniques used in scalp hair transplants, utilizing hair follicles usually taken from the back and sides of the head.

How is beard transplantation applied

Beard implantation at Bergmann Kord is performed almost always using the FUE transplantation method and is based on the individual extraction of hair follicles, which are transferred one by one from the donor area to the points where thinning appears in the beard.

The hair follicles are selected very carefully, according to the thickness, diameter, and the number of hairs they contain.
This is because they must match the characteristics of facial hair, which have greater thickness and double the diameter compared to scalp hair.

Additionally, since facial hair follicles usually contain one or two hairs, it is necessary to extract single-hair or double-hair follicles with great care, with the largest possible diameter, in order to achieve the greatest possible density.

However, the real challenge in beard transplantation is the placement of the hair follicles at the proper angle and depth, depending on the implantation area (sideburns, mustache, beard, etc.), so that the direction of the hairs provides an absolutely natural appearance.

What are the main causes of facial hair loss

The 3 main causes of sparse facial hair growth are:

  • Herredity
    However, in many young men, the phenomenon occurs without the presence of a hereditary predisposition or a genetic cause.
  • Hormonal Reasons
  • Presence of a burn, injury or scar from various causes in the facial area.

Who is considered as a suitable candidate

Beard transplantation is an ideal solution for men who desire denser, more uniform, or fuller facial hair. It is performed both for aesthetic reasons and for covering areas with injuries, scars, or hair loss due to hair removal.

A suitable candidate is considered someone who:

  • Has a sufficient number of healthy hair follicles in the donor area (usually the occipital scalp)
  • Has realistic expectations regarding the final density and aesthetic result
  • Wishes to cover areas with scars, burns, or previous laser hair removal
  • Wants to improve the shape or density of the beard for style or symmetry reasons
  • Seeks a more masculine appearance, as is often the case in the context of gender transition

When is beard implantation contraindicated

Proper preoperative evaluation by a specialized physician is crucial for identifying contraindications and ensuring the success of the procedure.

The main contraindications are:

  • Insufficient donor area
    If there are not enough healthy hair follicles on the scalp.
  • Scarring alopecia
    In inflammatory forms of hair loss, such as lichen planopilaris or discoid lupus, the immune system attacks and destroys the hair follicles.
  • Alopecia areata
    This is an autoimmune condition with unpredictable progression and frequent relapses; beard transplantation is not recommended while the disease is in an active phase.
  • Severe cardiac issues or allergy to epinephrine
    The local anesthesia used in the procedure contains epinephrine (adrenaline), and in certain cardiac or neurological conditions it is contraindicated.
  • Skin diseases in the facial area
    Chronic dermatitis, psoriasis, infection, or severe acne must be treated before the procedure.
  • Unrealistic expectations
    Good mental health and an understanding of the limitations of the procedure are prerequisites for a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome.
  • Age under 21
    Beard transplantation is not recommended before the natural development of facial hair is complete, except in special cases.

The main stages of FUE beard transplant

After a personal consultation and thorough briefing, the doctors at Bergmann Kord design the appropriate plan for beard restoration, based mainly on the patient’s wishes. The plan is implemented in 4 stages:

  1. The doctor examines the donor area to identify the suitable point in terms of density and elasticity.
  2. Local anesthesia is administered to the area by the anesthesiologist.
  3. A specific number of hair follicles are extracted, depending on the size of the area that will be restored.
  4. The grafts are placed one by one in the selected area using the FUE technique.

Overall, the procedure takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on the recipient area and the number of follicles to be transplanted.

Immediately after the completion of the procedure, there are minimal restrictions. These, along with general postoperative instructions, are provided in detail by the doctor.

Beard transplantation is completed in a single session, with the option of a second session if greater density is desired.


Advantages of FUE beard transplant

The method applied by the experienced doctors of Bergmann Kord can fully meet the requirements of those interested and is distinguished by the following characteristics:

  • Absence of postoperative trauma or discomfort.
  • Absence of postoperative scars and unsightly marks.
  • Ability to extract a specific number of individual hair follicles.
  • Fast recovery with rapid healing.
  • Mild postoperative course, accompanied by minimal restrictions, mainly concerning the first 24 postoperative hours.
  • Reproduction of the natural direction of hair growth, ensuring a complete and aesthetically flawless result.

Results timeline

With the beard implantation method, the result is absolutely natural, without scars or postoperative marks. Immediately after the procedure, the new hairs begin to grow and gradually develop.
Due to the nature of the process, a percentage of the transplanted hair follicles “shed” during the period between the first 2–6 weeks, something completely normal.

After 3–6 months, there is a noticeable improvement in appearance, which progressively advances, with the final result being achieved at around 10–12 months.
This gradual development of the new hair growth contributes to a smoother adjustment to the pleasant change in appearance.

Thus, individuals who wish to increase density, as well as improve the shape of their facial hair in order to achieve better-defined beards, mustaches, or sideburns, can do so painlessly, quickly, and permanently.

Cost of beard transplant

The cost of beard implantation depends on the needs of each individual case.It is determined by the number of hair follicles required and the extent of the area that needs to be restored.

The procedure is fully personalized and aims for a permanent and completely natural result. For this reason, choosing a clinic should be based primarily on specialization, experience, and transparency in the process, and not solely on cost.
