Beard Transplants in Johannesburg

Not every face grows a beard

Genetics decide where beard hair grows, and no oil, supplement or derma roller changes that. Some men have bare patches on the cheeks, some have gaps along the jaw, and some can only manage stubble in places. Scars from acne, surgery or injury also leave permanent gaps that hair will not cross on its own.

A beard transplant moves hair from the back of your scalp into the beard area. Scalp hair matches beard hair closely in most men, and once settled it grows, and needs shaving, like the rest of your beard.

What we can do

• Fill patches. Blend bare spots into the growth around them.
• Cover scars. Place grafts directly into scar tissue to break up the line.
• Sharpen the lines. Define a jawline, cheek line or moustache edge.
• Build a full beard. Design and create a beard from sparse or minimal growth.

Why the angles matter

Beard hair grows flatter and in more varied directions than scalp hair, changing angle from the cheek to the jaw to the neck. Grafts placed at scalp angles stick out and look wrong. This is detail work, done graft by graft under local anaesthetic, and it is where experience shows. Our team has performed thousands of procedures.

Recovery

Expect small scabs in the treated area for about a week and some redness that fades over days. Most men are back at work within a few days. The transplanted hairs shed after a few weeks, which is normal, then grow back for good from around the third or fourth month. You can shave normally once the area has fully healed.

Wondering about price? Beard work is quoted per graft like scalp work, and our cost page explains what drives the number.
