How Do Facial Hair Transplants Work?
Facial hair transplants work much the same way as traditional hair transplants. They can restore a full, natural look to eyebrows, beards, mustaches, and sideburns. Individual hairs are taken from the donor site, typically using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation / Grafting (FUT/FUG) methods, and transplanted to the desired area of the face, where they can continue to grow fully and naturally.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost?
The cost of a hair transplant will vary per person but will typically cost between $5,800 - $16,800. There are different factors that impact the price, such as:
- Scalp health
- Genetics of hair
- Health of donor area
- Number of procedures
- Number of grafts
- Scars or medications
- Current hair follicles
- Amount of hair loss
Since every transplant is unique to you and your situation, we encourage you to come in for a complimentary consultation. At that time, we can talk through your hair needs, provide a quote, and discuss financing options.
The Process
For your comfort, facial hair transplants are performed under local anesthesia. Here's what you can expect during the procedure:
- Harvesting donor hair: Donor hair is harvested from pre-determined donor sites. The harvested hairs are carefully examined and prepared for placement.
- Creating recipient sites: Recipient sites are created that match the natural angle of the existing hair.
- Placement: Each donor hair is carefully inserted into the prepared recipient sites.
After the procedure, your hair transplant surgeon will schedule your follow-up appointments and advise you on how to care for your incisions as they heal. This typically includes keeping your face clean while the area heals. After about two weeks, most men can return to their normal lifestyle without restrictions. By around 10 months, you will be able to see the full results of your facial hair transplant. Remember, this is your own natural hair growing, so it takes a little bit of time before the results are fully realized.

Who Is a Facial Hair Transplant For?
The good news is that most men are great candidates for facial hair transplants. In fact, facial hair transplants are an excellent option for men who are experiencing hair loss or thinning on their face and wish to restore a thicker beard or mustache. Facial hair loss may be due to a variety of causes, including:
- Genetics
- Health condition
- Medications
- Trauma
The main requirement for being a candidate for a facial hair transplant is having viable hair on your scalp that can be used as donor hair and transplanted to your face.
Benefits of Facial Hair Transplants
There are several benefits to facial hair transplants for men, including:
- Boosting your self-esteem: Have more confidence in every area of your life with facial hair that you are proud of.
- Restoring your natural hairline: Enhance your look with a thicker, more defined hairline.
- Permanent results: Facial hair transplants offer permanent results that do not require you to alter your lifestyle.
Facial hair transplants allow you to feel and look your best. When this happens, you reach new heights that you could only dream of in your personal and professional life.
