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
