Beard Transplants, Facial Hair Restoration

When to Have a Beard Transplant
Nearly half of all men struggle to grow a full beard and sideburns without patchy spots or areas of uneven growth. Beard transplant surgery addresses this issue by remedying bald patches and creating fuller beards or sculpted goatees.
Reasons preventing beard growth include:
Burns, scarring or skin trauma
Past surgery
Radiation treatment
Systemic illness
Trichotillomania (obsession with pulling beard hairs)
Beard Restoration Methods
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
Directly extracts donor follicles using tiny semi-circular incisions, pulling individual follicles directly from the head for grafting onto beard areas.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant)
Cutting-edge technology harvesting follicles, microscopically creating hundreds of natural-looking grafts for implantation.
Both methods minimize scarring to donor areas, allowing hair growth through scar tissue with no resulting hair loss.
How Much Does It Cost?
Beard transplant surgery costs vary between £3,000–£6,000 depending on existing hair and intended results. 0% finance available.
How a Beard Transplant Works
Beard hair transplants create permanent results, placing hair where needed most. Beard and moustache follicles grow individually, requiring individual implantation in correct direction for natural appearance.
Typical graft requirements:
Goatee creation: 1,200–1,500 grafts
Full beard creation: 2,500–3,000 grafts
