What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a precise surgical treatment that relocates hair follicles, usually from the back of your head, to areas on your face with sparse or no growth. Using FUE, our providers place each follicle individually to ensure natural direction, spacing, and thickness. The result? A real, full beard that looks and feels like your own.

Could a Beard Transplant Be The Solution for You?

You may be a good candidate for a beard transplant in Wellesley, MA, at Northeast Hair Restoration if:

  • You’ve always had patchy, uneven facial hair
  • You want to restore beard growth lost from a scar or injury
  • You’re transitioning and seeking a more masculine appearance
  • You’ve tried creams, serums, or medications with little success
  • You want a one-time, lifelong solution to beard growth

Because we use your own hair, the results are natural, long-lasting, and low-maintenance.

“Went to meet with Steve about my options to protect my hair and prevent hair loss as I'm approaching 50. He was honest, knowledgeable, and professional. I greatly appreciated that he recommended some preventative options rather than immediately pursuing surgery. I think what sets Northeast Hair Restoration apart from other places is that they will be honest about what your best options are.”
