Overview

Beard and mustache transplantation is a non-surgical procedure in which hair follicles are transferred from the donor area; the back of the head, to the recipient area; the chin and mustache areas to be treated.

Beard and Mustache Transplant Techniques

There are three main techniques used in beard and mustache transplant:

1.DHI technology:

It is the best technique used for beard and mustache hair transplant, in which follicles are also harvested from the donor area via the Micro Motor, to be implanted directly in the recipient area by a CHOI Implanter. It is only with one click the doctor can open a channel and implant the follicle at once. The whole process takes around 6-8 hours, transplanting a maximum of 3500 follicles.

2. Mega DHI technology

The Mega DHI technique is performed over two sessions, during two consecutive days, using the Choi pens. However, with Mega DHI, a maximum of 7000 follicles are transplanted, giving the hair more density and attractiveness.

3. Extremely DHI technology

Extremely DHI technology goes through the same stages of the DHI technique. However, it enables the doctor to transplant up to 5000 follicles during 12-15 hours over only a session.

Clinical examination: At this stage, the density of the donor area and the bald areas in the chin are defined. The number of follicles to be picked is determined.
Carrying out all necessary tests, including blood and skin tests.
The donor area is shaved for harvesting the follicles then the patient is given local anesthesia.
Harvesting the follicles from the donor area via a Micro Motor to be placed in the saline solution which can preserve them.
Implantation stage, the follicles are placed in Choi Pens, and with only one click the channels are opened, then the follicles are implanted.

What is a beard transplant?

A beard transplant procedure involves transplanting hair from the base of your scalp or the nape of your neck to your face. Depending on the look you’re going for, patchy areas can be filled, scars can be camouflaged or you can choose to design a thick, sculpted beard.

Will it look natural?

The Gro technique is the most refined and gentle hair transplantation technique. We use very fine, specialised tools that don’t leave any detectable scarring. The hair used is 100% your own hair and the doctor controls the depth, angle and direction of every graft so the result is completely natural.

Is it permanent?

Yes, a Gro microsurgery beard transplant gives permanent, natural results so you can enjoy your beard for life.

What’s involved in the recovery?

After your half-day procedure, you can go home to rest. You will need to follow your doctor’s care instructions which will include being careful with the treatment area, don’t sleep face-down, wash gently. You may experience some redness, itching and swelling. Most people return to work several days to one week after a beard transplant procedure.

Will I still be able to shave?

Yes, once your transplant has completely healed, approximately 4 weeks after your procedure and following your doctor’s instructions, you’ll be able to shave and sculpt your beard as you desire.

Who can have a beard transplant?

Anyone in good health who can’t grow a beard naturally or anyone who has suffered loss of facial hair due to illness, accident or injury can consider a beard transplant. Book a consultation with a Gro hair growth specialist for personalised information tailored specifically to your facial hair.

How long does the procedure take?

Depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted, your procedure can take between 2 and 6 hours.

Does it hurt?

The only thing you will feel is the initial prick from the local anaesthetic being injected. After that, the treatment area will be numb for the entire procedure.
