Is a beard transplant permanent?
Yes. Hair follicles (usually from the back of the scalp) are extracted and transferred to the beard area. These follicles grow permanently in the beard region. In place of the strands that shed in the first 2–3 months, permanent beard hairs begin to grow from months 4–6.
Is the beard area sensitive — is the surgery painful?
Because it's done under local anesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. After numbing applied with fine needles, the facial area becomes completely numb. There may be mild discomfort afterward; it can be managed with simple pain relievers.
"Our goal is not a 'done' look, but a natural, balanced and lasting result that is truly yours."
How many grafts are needed?
For a full beard, it varies between 1,000–3,000 grafts. 500–1,000 grafts may be enough just to fill in sparse areas. The exact need is determined with facial mapping during the consultation.
