Post-procedure care is essential for optimal results.
Beard Transplant
Beard transplants cater to men who wish to enhance their facial hair. Similar to scalp transplants, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and implanted into the beard region. This procedure can fill in patches, add density, or create a beard where there was none before.
Advantages:
-
Achieves a fuller, natural-looking beard.
-
Customizable to the desired beard style.
-
Permanent and effective solution for facial hair enhancement.

Scalp Hair Transplant
Scalp hair transplants are the most common type of hair restoration procedure. This involves transferring hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to the balding or thinning areas on the scalp. The two primary methods used are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
Advantages:
-
Effective for large areas of hair loss.
-
Provides a permanent solution to baldness.
-
Results in a natural hair growth pattern.
Disadvantages:
-
Requires a recovery period.
-
May involve some scarring, especially with FUT.
