Beard Transplant Specialist in Barrington, IL

At Regency Medical Spa & Hair Clinic, we understand that a full, well-shaped beard can significantly enhance your appearance and self-confidence. A beard transplant is a cosmetic procedure that restores or adds density to facial hair by transplanting hair follicles from one part of the body to the beard area. It is a permanent solution for men with patchy, thin, or uneven facial hair.

The procedure typically involves two main phases. The first is harvesting, where a professional removes healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back of the scalp, where hair is most resistant to balding. This can be done using one of two primary techniques: either by taking individual hair follicles or by removing a small strip of skin with hair. The second phase is implantation, where the harvested follicles are meticulously placed into tiny incisions in the face to create the desired beard shape and density. This is done with careful attention to the natural angle and pattern of the hair to ensure a realistic and seamless result.

A beard transplant procedure typically takes between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required and the desired coverage. During the procedure, healthy hair follicles are carefully extracted—usually from the back of the scalp—and then meticulously implanted into the beard area to achieve a natural look. The duration can vary if the client requires a full beard restoration versus filling in smaller patchy areas, as more grafts and precise placement will extend the process.

While the procedure is lengthy, it is performed under local anesthesia, which helps ensure client comfort throughout. Most clients can return home the same day, and although some minor swelling or redness may occur initially, downtime is generally minimal. Results begin to show as the transplanted hair sheds and new growth starts within a few months, with fuller outcomes becoming visible throughout 6 to 12 months.

The recovery process after a beard transplant is relatively quick, with most of the immediate side effects subsiding within the first week. In the first few days, you can expect some redness, swelling, and scabbing to form around each of the transplanted hair follicles. These scabs will fall off on their own within about a week, and it is crucial not to pick or scratch at them to ensure the grafts heal properly.

After the initial healing, the next phase of recovery involves “shock loss,” where most of the newly transplanted hairs will shed within two to three weeks. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and is not a sign of failure. New, permanent hair growth will begin around three to four months after the procedure. The final density and appearance of the beard will continue to improve over the next several months, with the final, mature results typically becoming visible around 10 to 12 months after the transplant.

With proper care and the support of our dedicated team at Regency Medical Spa & Hair Clinic, you can expect a manageable recovery and lasting, confidence-boosting results from your beard transplant.

At Regency Medical Spa & Hair Clinic, we understand that achieving your desired beard takes time and patience. The timeline for seeing the final results of a beard transplant, which is often performed using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, can vary between individuals, but most people can anticipate seeing the full, mature outcome within 9 to 12 months after their procedure.

What to Expect After a Beard Transplant:

• Initial Shedding (2-3 Weeks Post-Procedure): Shortly after a beard transplant, the transplanted hair follicles may begin to shed. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle called “shock loss” and is expected.

• New Hair Growth (3-4 Months): After the shedding phase, new hair growth begins around three to four months post-transplant. The new beard hairs will start to emerge, gradually filling in the treated areas.

• Continued Improvement (Up to 6 Months): As the new beard grows, a person will typically notice a significant improvement in density and coverage by the six-month mark.

• Final Results (9-12 Months): The full, natural results—including density, texture, and appearance—are typically achieved within 9 to 12 months after the procedure.

For the best results, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your professional and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.
