Beard Transplant

A beard transplant is just that: Hair is taken from one part of the body and transplanted to your jawline and wherever you want your beard to grow.

That sounds simple enough, but it’s a rather involved process. There are two main approaches a surgeon can take:

1. FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION (FUE)

This approach is done by harvesting complete follicular units one at a time from the donor area.
FUE is less painful, which may explain why it’s the more commonly performed procedure.

2. FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANT (FUT)

For this approach, a surgeon cuts a small strip of tissue from the back of the head and removes the hair follicles from that tissue.
A follicular unit is a small grouping of several hair follicles that may emerge through the skin through the same exit point.

Both procedures take anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 hair follicle grafts or more from the back of the head, usually level with your ears, or a little lower, and implant them on the face.
A graft is a hair follicle that’s transplanted.
