Overview

Beard transplant uses FUE to harvest follicles from the scalp and implant them into the facial hair zone. Typical graft counts range from 1,000–3,000 for a full beard, 500–1,000 for a goatee or mustache, and 200–500 for patchy fill. Each graft is placed at a 30–45° angle following natural beard growth patterns.

Growth patterns vary by zone: cheek hair grows downward, chin hair grows slightly forward, mustache hair fans downward from center, and sideburns grow straight down. Natural beard density is 25–40 FU/cm². Transplanted hairs initially shed at 2–4 weeks (“shock loss”) before regrowing at 3–4 months with full results at 12–18 months.

Our simulator offers preset styles (full beard, goatee, chinstrap, Van Dyke, and more) with independent zone density controls, growth timeline preview, and hair property customization.

Pros & Cons

Pros

−Swelling, redness, and puffiness common for 2–3 days post-surgery
−Recovery takes up to 2 weeks with careful aftercare needed
−Transplanted hair may have slightly different texture than native facial hair
