Beard Transplant

Beard transplant is a permanent aesthetic treatment applied to restore missing, sparse, or absent facial hair. This procedure transfers hair follicles to areas without beard growth due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, trauma, or burns.

Beard transplants have gained significant interest in recent years, especially among men seeking a fuller appearance. With years of experience and advanced technical infrastructure, Esteaura offers personalized solutions in this field.

How Is Beard Transplant Performed?

The most commonly used method in beard transplantation is the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. Healthy hair follicles are harvested individually from the donor area, typically the nape, using micro-punch tools, and then transplanted to the beard area to create a natural density.

Prior to the transplant, Esteaura analyzes facial proportions and designs the beard line according to the patient's expectations. To ensure symmetry and natural appearance, expert surgeons carefully orient each follicle according to its natural growth angle.

Post-Transplant Process

A rest period of 3 days is recommended after the procedure. Mild crusting and redness are normal and typically subside within the first week. Between 2–4 weeks, some transplanted hairs may shed — this is a temporary “shock loss” phase.

Permanent beard growth generally begins around month 3, with final results visible between months 6–12. Esteaura supports this process with regular follow-ups and medical care as needed.

Post-Transplant Care: Dos and Don’ts

The post-transplant care process directly affects the procedure’s success and the natural appearance of the result. For the first few days, avoid touching the face or applying pressure to the transplanted area. Frequent handling of the area increases infection risk, so follow the prescribed washing instructions carefully.

Avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise in the initial days. Use recommended moisturizing and antibacterial products regularly, as the skin will be sensitive. Shaving is generally advised after 3–4 weeks. Esteaura guides patients through this period with detailed care instructions and close follow-up.

Where Are Grafts Taken From?

Grafts are most commonly taken from the nape area. Nape hair is resistant to hormonal loss and produces long-lasting, permanent results in the beard. Because its structure closely matches beard hair, it offers a natural appearance.

In special cases, grafts may be harvested from behind the ears or chest, though this is rare. Esteaura analyzes donor area density and hair quality to select the healthiest follicles, ensuring ideal density and appearance.

How Long Until Full Beard Growth?

Patience is key in beard transplantation. Initial visible results appear around the third month, but a fully mature and permanent beard typically requires a 9–12 month period. During this time, follicles adapt and some hairs may temporarily fall out according to their natural growth cycle.

This shedding phase is normal and is followed by stronger, more permanent hair regrowth. Esteaura educates and supports patients through this period, with check-ups and recommended care to maximize graft survival.

Golden Rules for Natural-Looking Beard Transplants

For a natural look, it’s essential to carefully plan not only the number of grafts but also their angle, direction, and density. Each face is unique, so a personalized design is crucial. The follicles must be placed following the natural beard pattern, not randomly.

Esteaura uses micromotor FUE technique for precise implantation. Grafts are categorized as single or multiple follicles and placed in optimal locations. This ensures both naturalness and aesthetic harmony, making post-procedure grooming seamless and scar-free.

First 30 Days After Transplant: What to Expect

Mild crusting and redness in the transplant area during the first week are normal signs of healing. Do not peel the crusts; follow the prescribed washing routine. The first 7–10 days are critical for follicle stabilization.

In week two, you may experience “shock loss,” a temporary shedding of hairs indicating that the regrowth cycle has begun. Esteaura ensures patients receive continuous monitoring and emotional support during this period.

Facial Transformation with Beard Transplant

Beard transplantation not only increases hair density but also enhances facial contours for a more defined appearance. A stronger jawline and more masculine presence are often achieved, contributing to a mature, charismatic, and confident image.

Esteaura designs beard lines tailored to your facial anatomy to achieve a transformative yet natural effect. Density and shape are customized to match facial proportions, resulting in an impactful but authentic look.

The majority of patients who undergo beard transplants at Esteaura express high satisfaction with their results. They often report feeling more confident in social settings. Praise often centers on the natural appearance and symmetry achieved.

Satisfaction surveys show that 95% of patients would choose Esteaura again, highlighting the clinic’s excellence in both surgical technique and patient communication.

Can Non-Surgical Alternatives Thicken Your Beard?

For individuals with beard thinning or loss, non-surgical alternatives like PRP, mesotherapy, dermaroller treatments, and topical serums are available. These methods can strengthen hair and improve density temporarily but are not permanent solutions.

Esteaura evaluates each patient’s expectations and hair characteristics to recommend the most suitable method. For permanent density and fullness, beard transplantation is the most effective solution. Non-surgical treatments can be used as supportive care before or after the procedure.
