Northeast Hair Restoration Wellesley’s Destination for Expert Beard Restoration

At Northeast Hair Restoration, we perform beard transplants with the same level of detail, care, and technical skill, earning us a reputation as New England’s go-to for hair restoration. Here’s why patients from across the region trust our Wellesley team for this transformative treatment:

Designed for Your Features

Every face is different. Your beard design is tailored to your jawline, facial structure, and growth pattern—whether you want spot correction, fuller sides, or a defined, all-over beard.

A Proven Surgeon at the Helm

With over 8,000 procedures to his name, Dr. Mark DiStefano brings unmatched experience to the table. He is board-certified and internationally recognized for his expertise in FUE hair restoration.

FUE Technology for Natural Results

This isn’t cosmetic filler or temporary tattooing. We use Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to transplant your own hair follicles, ensuring realistic texture, growth direction, and permanence.

Discreet, In-Office Procedure

The entire process takes place in our Wellesley clinic under local anesthesia—no hospital, no visible scarring, and no lengthy recovery.

Ongoing Guidance After Treatment

We’ll support you throughout—from shaping advice to styling recommendations. Your journey doesn’t end after the procedure—it evolves with your results.

What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that relocates healthy hair follicles—typically from the back of your head—to areas on the face with limited or no hair growth. We carefully place each graft using FUE to ensure a natural angle, density, and appearance. Once healed, the transplanted hair grows just like the rest of your beard.

“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.” —Sean Gildea

Is a Beard Transplant Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You have naturally sparse or uneven facial hair
  • You’re recovering from injury, burns, or surgery that affected beard growth
  • You’re undergoing gender-affirming care and seeking a more masculine appearance
  • You’ve had no luck with over-the-counter or prescription beard growth products
  • You want a low-maintenance, lifelong result that feels and looks like real hair

What to Expect A Private, Personalized Experience in Wellesley

Consultation & Planning

Your journey starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll examine your facial hair growth, assess donor site density, and design a beard that fits your preferences and proportions.

Graft Design & Mapping

Using your facial contours and hair texture, we’ll estimate how many grafts you’ll need—typically a few hundred for fill-ins or 2,000+ for a full beard.

The Procedure

  • Local anesthesia for comfort
  • FUE extraction from the back or sides of the scalp
  • Meticulous placement of each follicle to follow natural beard direction
  • Performed in-office in about 4–6 hours

Recovery & Results

  • Mild swelling or redness for a few days post-op
  • Transplanted hairs may shed early on—this is normal
  • New facial hair typically begins growing at 3–4 months
  • Full results take shape between 9 and 12 months
  • Once fully grown, your beard can be shaved, trimmed, and styled as you like

Redefine Your Look on Your Terms

A well-defined beard can change how you see yourself—and how the world sees you, too. If you're ready to take the guesswork out of growth, our team in Wellesley is here to help you make it happen.
