Beard Transplant: Grow a Full Beard
New York

In the same way as for hair transplants, beard transplants follow a process that involves taking hair from an area where it continually grows back and grafting it where the patient suffers from a lack of hair. Whether the transplant is going to be used on the head or the beard, the hair is removed from the same area: the nape of the neck. Even when re-implanted, the hair growing in this area never falls out.

Here, the FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, technique is used. This is a completely manual method of extracting the graft. Even though this technique takes longer, FUE has the advantage that it does not leave a scar. However, the ARTAS robot can reduce the amount of time the extraction takes.

The beard transplant technique requires several stages: the removal of the graft, designing the new beard, and re-implanting the graft hairs which will become the new parts of the beard.

First the patient must have the back of their head shaved at the nape of the neck, so that the hair follicles can be more easily extracted and re-implanted into the beard. The surgeon will then remove the hairs one by one. It should be noted that these hairs and beard hairs are extremely similar. In this way, the implanted hairs and the beard hairs will behave in the same way in terms of how fast they grow.

Then, the practitioner will design the patient’s new beard, after obtaining the patient’s agreement and establishing the quantity of graft hairs available. Some patients want a very straight line along the cheeks, while others want a more rounded look. Each patient will get the beard of their dreams.

The hair is implanted manually into the beard. The practitioner and their team will insert the hairs using a needle. The implantation should take into account the direction and space between the hairs to create a beautiful beard that is suited to the face shape.

Hair transplant operations take a long time. This is because it involves manually extracting thousands of hair follicles from the nape of the neck and implanting them into the beard. The beard implantation procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. The patient will not feel any tingling. The operation is an outpatient procedure (no need to spend the night at the clinic), and can last between two and three hours.

The first beard hair growth will occur between three and four months after the procedure. The result of the beard transplant is visible after six months and is definitive after one year. The beard hairs will then be denser, better distributed and their design will be regular and well-suited to your appearance.

According to your desires, you can change your look by playing with the length or shape of your beard. You can also shave it. There will not be any scars. This means you can shave your beard without worrying. Increasing how much you shave will also be beneficial for your beard. Indeed, the hair will become denser the more you shave.

The hairs also have a protective effect. They prevent sunburn and premature facial ageing as a result.

The costs for a beard transplant in New York depend on the patient’s individual situation. The price will depend on the number of hairs grafted.
