Beard Transplant
The Beard Transplant Procedure
What is a Beard Transplant?
A beard transplant is a simple, effective way to achieve fuller, natural-looking facial hair. Using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique, hair follicles are carefully taken from the back or sides of the scalp and implanted into patchy or thinning areas of the beard.
Whether you’re aiming for a defined goatee, full beard, or even thicker sideburns, a beard transplant gives you the flexibility to style your facial hair exactly how you want.
Nearly 50% of men struggle to grow consistent facial hair due to genetics, hormonal factors, or past scarring. A beard transplant helps restore density and shape—giving you a groomed, masculine appearance that lasts.
Why Choose a Beard Transplant?
- Beard transplants give you permanent, natural-looking results
- Precision placement for a defined shape and even density
- Minimally invasive FUE or DHI technique with fast recovery
- One-day outpatient procedure—no overnight stay
How does a beard transplant work?
The procedure begins by numbing both the donor and beard areas with local anaesthetic to ensure comfort. Dr. Ditta then extracts individual hair follicles from the scalp using the FUE or DHI method, which leaves minimal scarring. These grafts are carefully implanted into patchy areas of the beard, following your natural hair growth pattern. The result is fuller, evenly distributed facial hair that blends seamlessly with your existing beard.

FAQs About Beard Transplants
Thinking about getting a beard transplant? Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from patients considering the procedure.
Is a beard transplant permanent?
Yes, the results are permanent. Once the transplanted hair follicles settle and begin growing, they behave like natural facial hair and can be trimmed or styled as you like.
Does the procedure hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb both the donor and recipient areas, making the procedure virtually pain-free. Mild soreness may occur for a day or two afterward.
When will I see full results?
You’ll start to see new hair growth within 3–4 months, with full results typically visible by 9–12 months. The beard will appear denser and more defined over time.
Can I choose the shape of my new beard?
Absolutely. Dr. Ditta works closely with you to design a beard shape that suits your face and preferences, whether you’re after a fuller beard, sharper edges, or a subtle fill-in.
Are there any side effects after a beard transplant?
Mild swelling, redness, or scabbing is normal in the first few days. These typically clear up within a week. Most patients experience no serious side effects when following proper aftercare.
Do I need to take time off work?
Most patients take 1–3 days off, depending on the nature of their job. Since there’s minimal downtime with FUE or DHI, you can return to work quickly—especially if you’re comfortable with minor visible redness.
