Beard and Mustache Transplant

Create a request

Beard and mustache transplantation is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore or enhance the density and appearance of the beard and mustache area. It involves the extraction of hair follicles from a donor site on the patient's body and their precise implantation into the beard or mustache area.

Beard and Mustache Transplant

General

This procedure is predominantly sought by men who are unable to grow a full beard or mustache naturally due to genetics, hormonal imbalances, scars, or other conditions. The process utilizes either the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique to harvest hair follicles. The selected follicles are then carefully implanted into the facial areas lacking density, taking into consideration the natural growth direction and aesthetics to ensure a natural-looking result. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia and can be tailored to meet the unique facial features and desired outcomes of each patient, making it a highly customizable and popular option for facial hair restoration.
