How Does FUE Beard Transplant Work?
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is a minimally invasive treatment that involves our specialist hair surgeon using hair from a ‘stable zone’ which is most commonly at the back or side of the head, to correct hair density in the area you wish to improve – the beard, goatee, moustache, or sideburns for instance. The site of the hair that is used to correct the area of concern is called the donor site. If you are bald or balding and are concerned about hair being removed from your head, it is also possible to use chest hair as a donor site. Hair for beard transplants typically needs to be fine.
FUE beard transplant can take anywhere from three to nine hours to complete, depending on the number of hairs needed, and is done on an out patient basis. Each hair follicle is removed one by one with a punch process, then local anaesthetic is applied to the area that will be treated, and then the hair follicles implanted. This is a skilful technique and our surgeons take time to ensure each hair is implanted in a natural looking fashion, and at the right angle to achieve highest density.
