How do hair and beard transplants differ?

Hair and beard transplants both involve moving hair follicles from one part of your body to another. But there are important differences in technique, planning and outcomes. want more info: check it out here.

Area of transplantation

• Hair transplants target the scalp—typically the crown, hairline or temples.
• Beard transplants focus on the cheeks, jawline, chin or moustache area.

The direction, angle and density requirements differ between the two.

Hair type and donor area

• Both use grafts taken from the back or sides of the scalp.
• Beard hair is usually coarser than scalp hair. But scalp hair works well for beard transplants when implanted correctly.

We match the angle and depth of natural beard growth to keep it looking realistic.

Implantation angle

• Beard grafts need to be placed more flatly to mimic natural beard growth.
• Scalp grafts are usually implanted at a steeper angle.

Precision is key in both cases, but especially for facial hair to avoid unnatural growth patterns.

Density and graft count

• Scalp procedures usually need more grafts—often 2,000 to 3,000 or more.
• Beard procedures may only need 1,000 to 2,000 grafts depending on coverage and thickness.

You can build a full beard or just fill in patchy areas.

Healing and aftercare

• Both require a few days of rest and care.
• The face tends to heal slightly quicker than the scalp.
• You’ll see tiny scabs fall off in both cases within 7–10 days.

Full growth results take 6–12 months either way.

Scarring and visibility

• Beard grafts are placed in more visible areas, so accuracy and artistry are essential.
• FUE methods leave minimal scarring, even in facial areas.

You can shave or style your beard as usual once it’s healed.

FAQs

Can I get both a hair and beard transplant at the same time?

Yes, if you have enough donor grafts, we can plan both in one session.

Does a beard transplant hurt more than a hair transplant?

Both are done under local anaesthetic. Some patients find the face slightly more sensitive.

How long before I can shave after a beard transplant?

Wait at least 2 weeks to avoid disturbing the new grafts.

Will the transplanted beard hair look natural?

Yes, when done properly. We match the growth angle, thickness and shape to blend in with your existing facial hair.

What’s the cost difference?

Beard transplants tend to be slightly cheaper as they need fewer grafts. We’ll give you a full quote during your consultation.
