Beard and Moustache Transplant Glasgow

This permanent, surgical procedure uses hair from a donor area on the scalp or under the chin to fill in areas on the cheeks, moustache, or goatee where facial hair is deficient or absent. 

Single or double or treble hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp or under the chin) and first examined for structural integrity before being graded and inserted into the recipient area to mimic native facial hair density and texture.

Whether you are filling patchy growth, defining a jawline, or camouflaging facial scars, our approach is completely bespoke, combining artistic design with micro-surgical precision. First, our doctors conduct a full trichological assessment before evaluating your facial anatomy, donor density, and natural growth vectors. We avoid generic templates—every cheek line, jaw contour, and moustache border is mapped by hand to complement your natural features and age gracefully.

Because facial hair grows at exceptionally flat angles and in distinct directional whorls, our surgeons carefully match the precise angle, orientation, and single-follicle depth required for seamless integration. Taking a holistic view, we also evaluate your scalp and skin health to maximise graft survival, delivering dense, completely natural facial hair.

Under local anaesthetic, healthy hair follicles are extracted from the permanent donor zone at the back of your head using refined Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) tools.

Our team carefully implants the grafts directly into the targeted cheek, chin, or moustache areas. Controlling the shallow angles and precise direction of these sites is critical to ensure your new beard lays naturally flat against the skin. The procedure takes between four to eight hours, during which you remain comfortable and awake.

Initial healing takes 5 to 7 days, with most patients returning to light routines quickly. Small crusts and mild redness form around the new grafts and these generally slough off between days 7 and 10 with gentle washing.

You will receive a tailored aftercare protocol and direct surgical guidance to protect the grafts during this vital initial healing window.

The transplanted hair naturally sheds within two to four weeks—a standard part of the biological growth cycle. Brand-new, permanent growth begins around month three, steadily increasing in density over the following months. By 10 to 12 months, your full results mature, providing a natural beard or moustache you can trim, shave, and style normally.

We schedule follow-up appointments at one week, one month, six months, and twelve months to monitor your progress and provide ongoing guidance.
