Beard Transplant
Beard transplant patients are usually frustrated that they cannot grow a full, dense beard, mustache, or goatee. In some cases, there are simply a few areas that are less dense or lack hair follicles. At Texas Facial Aesthetics in Frisco, the beard transplant is performed by double board-certified and fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon Dr. Matthew Richardson.
What Is a Beard Transplant?
A beard transplant is a specialized facial hair restoration procedure designed to enhance or restore facial hair growth in areas where it is thin or absent. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with patchy beard growth, facial scars, or those who have difficulty growing facial hair due to genetics. The treatment itself involves extracting hair follicles from the scalp and implanting them into the face to achieve the desired beard density and shape.
Good Candidates for a Beard Transplant
Men interested in a beard transplant often have patchy or uneven beard growth or wish to cover facial scars. They must:
- Be in good overall health with no underlying medical conditions affecting hair growth
- Have adequate donor hair on the back of the scalp for transplantation
- Have realistic expectations
What Happens During Beard Transplant Surgery?
Beard transplantation is completed in our private, state-of-the-art surgical suite overlooking the water in the heart of Frisco, Texas. The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia in the form of numbing injections to ensure patient comfort.
The hair used for the transplant is harvested from the back of the scalp using either the strip method or follicular unit extraction (FUE). With the strip harvesting technique, one line or “strip” of hair follicles is removed from the back of the scalp. The resulting line will eventually fade and be hidden underneath the surrounding scalp hair. During FUE, hair follicles are removed individually. Dr. Richardson will discuss the best path for you during your consultation.
Once the donor area is prepared, hair follicles are extracted and then meticulously implanted into the beard area, following the natural hair growth pattern. The implantation process is performed with precision to ensure a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
The Recovery Process
After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness and swelling, which typically resolve within a few days. To ensure a smooth recovery, it’s important to follow the post-procedure care instructions provided by Dr. Richardson.
Patients should avoid touching or scratching the transplanted area and refrain from shaving until otherwise directed. Normal activities can be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least a week. The newly transplanted hairs will shed within a few weeks before new growth begins, with full results visible within several months.

Beard Transplant FAQs
Will the transplanted beard hair grow like normal facial hair?
Yes, the transplanted hair will grow just like natural facial hair and can be shaved, trimmed, and styled as desired. Since the follicles are taken from the scalp, the growth rate may initially be slightly different, but will eventually blend in.
Can I choose the exact shape and density of my new beard?
Absolutely! During your consultation, Dr. Richardson will work with you to design the ideal beard shape and density based on your facial structure and personal preferences.
The hair for a beard transplant is typically harvested from the back of the scalp similar to other traditional hair restoration techniques. Depending on patient preference and hairstyle, this can be performed utilizing a strip method harvest technique or a follicular-unit extraction technique in our practice. Dr. Richardson will discuss the best options for you during your consultation.
