Beard & Mustache Transplants

• Natural-Looking Results: FUE allows for the meticulous placement of individual follicular units to mimic the natural growth pattern of facial hair. The transplanted hair is carefully positioned to match the direction, angle, and density of your existing facial hair, resulting in a seamless and natural appearance.
• No Linear Scarring: FUE involves harvesting individual follicular unit grafts as tiny as a single hair follicle at a time from the donor scalp. Unlike traditional strip excision hair restoration methods that can leave a noticeable linear scar, FUE leaves no telltale linear scar. After healing, these harvested areas are virtually invisible, even with short hairstyles.
• Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery: The FUE procedure is less invasive than linear harvest or strip-excision methods, meaning it involves less discomfort, minimal downtime, and a faster recovery. Because no stitches or staples are used, most patients can return to activities of daily life immediately, light athletic activity within four to five days, and full contact sports and other activities after about a week.
• Versatile and Customizable: FUE is highly versatile and can address various facial hair concerns, such as filling in patchy areas, covering scars, adding density, or creating an entirely new beard or mustache from scratch—provided you have enough donor hair. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring that the results complement their overall appearance.

• Individuals with Sparse or Uneven Facial Hair: If you have naturally patchy or thin facial hair, FUE can add density and improve the overall appearance of your beard or mustache.
• Those Seeking to Enhance or Create Facial Hair: Whether you want to achieve a more defined beard or mustache or create facial hair where there is none, FUE offers a solution to meet your specific needs.
• People Looking to Correct Scarring: FUE can be used to transplant hair into areas of the face where scarring has prevented natural hair growth, helping to restore a more even and uniform appearance. FUE hair transplantation can easily and permanently correct sideburn scarring from facelift procedures, injuries, or other trauma.
• Ethnic and Gender Considerations: FUE is suitable for individuals of all ethnicities and skin types. It can also be an option for transgender individuals seeking to enhance or create facial hair as part of their transition.

The FUE process for beard and mustache restoration is designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible. During your consultation, your facial hair goals will be discussed, your available donor hair will be examined, and a personalized treatment plan will be created. The procedure involves extracting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and implanting them into the desired areas of the beard, mustache, or sideburn. The precision of the FUE technique and Dr. Bauman’s artistic approach ensure that the implanted hair grows in the correct position, direction, and angle for the most natural-looking results.

• Procedure Duration: The length of the procedure depends on the number of grafts needed but typically takes several hours to complete.
• Post-Procedure Care: Aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and graft survival. Patients can expect some minor redness, crusting, and swelling, which typically resolves within a week.
• Long-Lasting Results: The transplanted hair follicles begin to grow months later, are permanent, and will continue to grow naturally, providing a lasting solution to facial hair concerns.
