Category: Beard Transplant

A beard transplant moves scalp follicles into patchy, thin or scarred areas of the face, placed to follow the natural angle of beard growth. Most patients need somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 grafts, and the transplanted hair sheds before regrowing permanently over the following months.

Recovery follows a predictable schedule: scabbing clears within the first seven to ten days, any stitches are removed at around two weeks, and the donor area settles shortly afterwards. How you wash your hair and sleep in those early days does most to protect the grafts while they anchor.
