A beard transplant is a specialized microsurgical procedure designed to restore or enhance hair growth on the chin, cheeks, and mustache areas. This process involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from a “donor site”—typically the back of the scalp where hair is densest—and meticulously placing them into the facial regions where growth is thin or absent.
Modern beard restoration has evolved significantly, moving away from older, noticeable methods to refined techniques that mimic the natural direction and angle of facial hair. The primary goal is to create a fuller, more masculine appearance that complements the patient’s unique facial structure. Whether a patient desires a thick “lumberjack” beard or a subtle correction of a patchy mustache, this procedure provides a permanent solution that grows, trims, and shaves just like natural facial hair.
At Liv Hospital, beard transplant procedures are performed within a high-standard hospital environment, prioritizing patient safety and sterile conditions. Unlike smaller clinics, our hospital-grade facilities ensure that every step of the process meets international medical protocols. Our specialized teams utilize advanced technologies, such as Sapphire blades for precision and DHI Choi pens for high-density placement, ensuring minimal tissue trauma and a faster return to daily life.
Facial hair loss or the inability to grow a beard is often referred to as beard alopecia. This condition can range from small, circular bald patches to a complete lack of facial hair development.
While a beard transplant is primarily an aesthetic procedure, its impact on a patient’s well-being is significant. The facial hair serves as a “frame” for the face; when it is patchy or missing, it can lead to reduced self-confidence and a feeling of being less “mature” or “masculine.” Physically, the procedure is minimally invasive. Because the body recognizes the transplanted follicles as its own tissue, there is no risk of rejection. Once the initial healing phase is complete, the follicles integrate into the facial skin, receiving blood supply and nutrients just like the original hair.
The field of hair restoration has evolved significantly, offering sophisticated methods to ensure the best possible results. These modern techniques focus on minimizing discomfort and maximizing the survival rate of the transplanted follicles. The two most common methods involve extracting individual follicles or small groups of follicles to be placed into the target area. Each method has its own set of advantages depending on the size of the area being treated and the density required.
The most common reason for a thin beard is genetics. If men in your family have sparse or patchy facial hair, you may experience the same. Hormonal factors, especially low testosterone levels, can also affect beard growth. Scars from injuries or burns may prevent hair from growing in certain areas. Some men may also have Alopecia Areata (an condition where the body attacks beard hair follicles, causing patchy beard loss), which can make a beard transplant a suitable option. Men of all ages can be candidates for a beard transplant as long as they have a healthy and stable donor area at the back of the head.
No two faces are the same; therefore, we do not apply a standardized approach in beard transplantation. We create each treatment plan based on the patient’s facial symmetry and hair characteristics. Depending on the required beard density and target areas, we prefer Sapphire FUE to establish the foundation of a full beard, while we use DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for precise implantation in regions such as the mustache and goatee. Through this personalized planning, we aim to achieve natural-looking results that are fully compatible with the patient’s facial features.
Your specialist at Liv Hospital acts as both a surgeon and an architect. They must determine the exact exit angle of each hair—facial hair grows at a much flatter angle compared to scalp hair. By carefully placing single follicles in the correct direction, the specialist ensures that the beard lays flat against the skin rather than sticking straight out. This artistic eye is what separates a medical procedure from a natural-looking restoration.
On the day of the procedure, you pay our patients a comfortable and private fee. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, is usually performed without a call or with minimal discomfort. The procedure begins with follicle extraction, followed by a short rest period and then the implantation phase. Most sessions last approximately 4 to 7 hours. During the treatment, patients can relax, listen to music, or watch a movie. On the same day, patients are discharged with clear and detailed care instructions for the first 48 hours of recovery.
After a beard transplant, there is a normal phase called the shedding phase. About 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure, the transplanted hairs may fall out. This is normal and expected. The hair roots stay under the skin and are not damaged.
New and permanent beard hair usually starts to grow after 3 to 4 months. The final and full result is seen around 12 months.
To support healthy healing and optimal results, we recommend avoiding smoking and blood-thinning medications for a short period before and after the procedure. The exact duration may vary depending on individual health conditions and medications. For personalized guidance, we are here. For detailed information, please contact our expert team.

Yes. By using the DHI and FUE techniques, hairs are implanted at the specific angle and direction of your natural facial hair growth, making it indistinguishable from a natural beard.
The hair is usually taken from the back or sides of your scalp. These hairs are genetically programmed to grow for a lifetime and are the best match for facial hair density.
Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss, meaning the results of a beard transplant are designed to last a lifetime.
You should avoid shaving with a razor for the first 15 to 20 days. After the initial healing phase, you can trim with scissors, and eventually shave or style it however you like.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Some mild redness or swelling may occur afterward, but this typically fades within a few days.
