Beard Transplants

Facial hair plays a major role in how you present yourself. Whether you want to fill in patchy areas, restore hair after injury, or create a full beard for the first time, a beard transplant offers a permanent, natural-looking way to define your look and boost your confidence.

What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles—typically from the back of the scalp—to areas of the face where facial hair is thin, patchy, or absent. Using FUE, we place each graft by hand at the ideal angle and density to create natural-looking facial hair that grows and behaves like the rest of your beard.

Northeast Hair Restoration A Precision Procedure Backed by Experience

At Northeast Hair Restoration, we approach beard transplants with the same artistry, care, and technical precision that’s made us a trusted leader in male hair restoration. Here’s why men across the Northeast turn to us for this advanced, discreet solution:

Tailored for the Male Face

We don’t force a template. Your beard design is customized to suit your jawline, growth pattern, and aesthetic goals—whether you're going for stubble, a goatee, or full coverage.

A Surgeon You Can Trust

Led by Dr. Mark DiStefano, our team has performed more than 8,000 hair restoration procedures. With decades of experience and board certifications from the American Board and International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, you’re in expert hands.

FUE, Not Fill-Ins

This is not a cosmetic patch job. We use Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to transplant real, permanent hair from your scalp. That means natural growth, real texture, and lasting results.

Private, Professional Setting

Our beard transplants are performed in-office under local anesthesia, with no hospital stay and minimal downtime. Appointments are discreet, recovery is quick, and results are subtle and seamless.

Post-Procedure Support

We’ll walk you through everything from beard shaping and trimming to long-term care and growth expectations. You're not just getting a procedure—you’re getting a team.

“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.”

Should I Consider a Beard Transplant?

You might be a candidate if:

You’ve always had a patchy or uneven beard and want full, consistent coverage
You’ve lost facial hair due to injury, surgery, or scarring
You’re seeking facial masculinization as part of a gender-affirming journey
You’ve tried topical treatments or growth supplements without success
You want a permanent solution that looks and feels completely natural

Because beard transplants use your hair, the results are real, lifelong, and low-maintenance.

Here’s What You Can Expect A Customized, Discreet Process From Start to Finish

Private Consultation

We start with a personalized consultation to understand your goals, evaluate your current facial hair growth, and assess donor hair availability. We’ll map out your beard design and determine if a transplant is the right fit for you.

Design & Graft Planning

Your facial structure, hair texture, and styling preferences help shape the ideal beard layout. We’ll estimate your graft needs, which range from a few hundred for spot filling to 2,000+ for full-beard construction.

Beard Transplants Frequently Asked Questions

Will the new facial hair match my natural beard?

Yes. We select donor hairs that closely match your beard in color, texture, and curl pattern. The results blend seamlessly.

Is the transplanted hair permanent?

Yes. Once fully grown, the transplanted follicles behave like natural facial hair and will continue growing for life.

Can I shave or shape the beard after the procedure?

Absolutely. After healing, you can trim, style, and maintain your beard however you like.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report only minor soreness or tightness afterward, which resolves in a few days.

How soon will I see results?

New growth begins around 3–4 months post-procedure, with full results visible at 9–12 months.

Can this procedure be used to cover facial scars?

Yes. Depending on the condition of the area, beard transplants are often used to restore hair over scarred or damaged skin.
