Beard and mustache transplant, is a cosmetic procedure that transfers hair follicles from the donor site, typically the scalp, to the facial area. The objective of this procedure is to enhance the appearance of the beard and mustache, as well as restore hair growth.
The process is minimally invasive, done with local anesthesia, and involves the extraction of individual hair follicles using a small punch tool. The transplanted hair follicles will grow in the new location, leading to the growth of new beard and mustache hair.
The benefits of facial hair transplant for beard and mustache include:
Achieving a natural-looking, fuller and symmetrical beard or mustache
Filling in patchy or uneven areas
Elevated self-confidence and self-esteem
Long-lasting solution to patchy or uneven facial hair growth
While some mild side effects may occur, such as pain and swelling, they can easily be treated with over-the-counter medication and antibiotics. In rare cases, some complications like cysts, keloids, or ingrown hairs may arise, but they can be addressed through topical creams or surgery.
It is crucial for patients to have a discussion with their surgeon to determine realistic expectations and goals before undergoing the procedure. Also, the final outcome may take several months to fully develop, as the transplanted hair needs time to grow and reach its full potential.
FUE beard transplant

The transplanted hair follicles will continue to grow and blend in with your existing facial hair, resulting in a fuller and more symmetrical beard and/or mustache.

- Long-lasting Results: The transplanted hair follicles are permanent and will continue to grow for a lifetime. Once the transplanted hair has fully grown, it will require the same grooming and maintenance as your natural beard and/or mustache.
- Corrects Various Issues: FUE beard transplant can be used to correct various issues, including patchy or uneven beard or mustache growth, or to add density to existing facial hair. The procedure is ideal for those who want to achieve a fuller and more symmetrical beard and/or mustache.

DHI beard transplant
DHI beard transplantation and mustache transplantation are performed using DHI Pen (Choi Pen). It enables new beards to grow in those who do not have a beard and those who have thin and asymmetric beards.
How is DHI Beard Transplantation Applied?
The procedure is usually performed by transplanting the grafts collected from the scalp to the beard area. Sometimes the grafts can be taken from certain parts of the beard area and placed at different points of this region.
This technique is used if there are too many regional gaps or if the person has no beard. Hair follicles taken from the nape area are planted in the direction of the growth of the beard with special pens with a diameter of 0.6 mm.
Beard to Beard Transplant
Scars caused by an accident can be eliminated by this method. This method is also preferred to fill the gaps in the beards. Grafts obtained from the beard area adapt more easily to the new points of the same area. During this procedure, grafts should be collected from under the chin.
While applying the DHI beard transplant method, the graft direction and placement process is carried out with a medical pen. Bleeding does not occur. Washing is done the next day.
DHI Beard Transplant Risks
The facial skin has a thinner and more sensitive structure compared to the scalp. Therefore, recovery time can be longer after beard and mustache transplant operations. However, since there is no incision made in the DHI technique so the skin damage is minimal, and the recovery time is faster than other methods.
DHI beard transplant is safe. However, some people may experience redness in their skin. This will go away on its own within a few days.
Instructions After DHI Beard Transplantation
- The transplanted beards fall out after 2 weeks. This is called ‘shock shedding’, the beards will start to grow healthier and thicker after that.
- The patient should not lean forward for a while after the operation. Otherwise, swelling may occur.
- It is normal to feel discomfort and itching in the area where the procedure is performed. However, in order not to damage the beard grafts, this area should not be scratched.
- Smoking and alcohol affect the nutrition of beard grafts negatively. Therefore, alcohol and cigarettes should be avoided during the healing process.
- Heavy activities and workouts should be stopped after the surgery.
- The first wash is carried out in the clinic. Before this process, the beard area should not be touched with water.
- After the DHI beard transplantation process, crusting is observed. These scabs should not be touched, the shells should not be removed.
In conclusion, FUE beard transplant is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that can help you achieve a fuller and more symmetrical beard and/or mustache. With its natural-looking results, long-lasting results, and ability to correct various issues, FUE beard transplant can greatly enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem. With proper care and maintenance, your transplanted beard and/or mustache can continue to grow and look great for years to come.
DHI beard transplantation is a technique used to grow new beard hair and improve thin and asymmetric beards. The procedure involves transplanting hair follicles from the scalp or beard area to the beard or mustache, using a medical pen called “choi” to ensure accurate direction and placement. The DHI technique has minimal skin damage, faster recovery time, and is safe. However, some redness may occur and proper after-care is necessary, such as avoiding smoking and alcohol, heavy activities, and not scratching the transplanted area. The transplanted beard hair may fall out temporarily after the operation but will regrow thicker and healthier. After the surgery, the patient should follow instructions such as not leaning forward, avoiding touching the beard area, and not removing crusting that may form.
It is crucial for patients to have a discussion with their surgeon to determine realistic expectations and goals before undergoing the procedure. Also, the final outcome may take several months to fully develop, as the transplanted hair needs time to grow and reach its full potential.”
