For your beard transplant procedure, stop drinking alcohol at least one week before, consult your doctor to discontinue any blood thinners, and refrain from shaving your hair for one month. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and bring your blood test reports. If you have scalp irritation, redness, or pimples, please inform your Customer Representative.
Before the procedure, the transplant area will be marked, and the required number of grafts will be determined. Based on the results of your blood tests, the procedure will proceed as planned. The process begins with the administration of painless local anesthesia. Hair follicles extracted from the donor area will then be carefully transplanted to the beardless area to achieve natural and lasting results.


Design
Designing a beardline is just as important as designing the hairline when it comes to hair transplantation. The beardline is very crucial for the aesthetic enhancement of your face. We take into consideration previous photos of the patient’s beard and assess the donor area to make sure the design is harmonious and that the donor site will not be damaged.

Extraction
It is a crucial stage in beard transplantation, which involves the extraction of the follicles with surrounding tissues while being very considerate to the viability and not damaging the skin by micro motors. This gentle process, in general, has been referred to as FUE, and when done, requires qualified surgeons for precision and results.

Opening
The channel opening, along with the design of the beard line and graft extraction, plays a very important role in the final look of your beard transplant. Opening the channels rightly lets the follicles be placed at an angle where they will grow naturally. The medical team in Hair of Istanbul, rich in experience and knowledge, is well-versed with this technique to bring in the best outcome of your beard transplant surgery.
After the beard transplant, no pressure should be applied to the newly transplanted hair follicles. It is unthinkable to sleep on your stomach.
Shaving can be resumed after the scabs have fallen off and the skin is totally healed, which would be within 3-4 weeks. This would ensure the best recovery and longevity of your beard transplant.


Following the beard transplant procedure, both the donor and receiving areas will be sensitive, and the body may still contain anesthesia. It is essential to avoid any impact on the treated areas and refrain from bending over to ensure optimal results. We strongly recommend sleeping with a travel pillow for support to protect the transplant site. In case of any emergency, the Hair of Istanbul team is always available to assist you.
