Beard and mustache hair transplant is the perfect way to get a shapely beard that you have always wanted. It works ideally for people who are suffering from beard hair loss or are unable to grow any beard at all.

The final cost of the beard hair transplant depends on a lot of factors, but a rough estimate of the same would be given to you during the first consultation with your surgeon. The factors include:

 

  • The number of grafts required to reach your requirement

  • The number of sessions required for completing the procedure
  • The expertise of the doctor performing it

 

The number of sessions required for the procedure is based on the number of grafts that are to be implanted to reach your goal through the transplant.

After the initial analysis, the doctor would be able to inform the number of sessions to be required for the procedure.

 

What is the Beard Transplant Procedure?

 

The beard transplant procedure is done through Follicular Unit Excision (FUE). It also uses PRP (if the doctor suggests) for faster results. The grafts to be implanted for the procedure are extracted from the safe donor area (back of the head) and then implanted to the recipient site, which, in this case, are the bald portions of the beard or mustache.

 

If performed by experts, this procedure can easily cover all the bald portions of the beard in one sitting and still render excellent results. Similar to any other transplanted hair, the beard will also grow in its natural rate. Following which, you will be able to trim or shave it according to your requirements. The grafts start growing within a week or two of the procedure if you follow all the post- treatment instructions set by the professionals.
