Beard transplants have become a popular way to fill patchy facial hair or build a fuller beard. Here’s a straightforward look at how it works and what results look like.
How it works
A beard transplant relocates your own hair follicles — usually from the back of the scalp — into the beard area, placing each follicle to match natural growth direction and density.
Designing a natural beard
Angle and direction are everything for a natural beard. Careful planning of the beard line and density is what separates a natural result from an obvious one.
Recovery and growth
Tiny crusts resolve within about a week. Transplanted hairs shed, then regrow, with the fuller beard maturing over several months.
