Beard Transplant
An overview of facial hair transplant and beard transplant in Toronto:
The facial hair transplant procedure is a swift and efficient process, typically completed within 2 to 6 hours. It’s an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to resume their daily activities or return to work the following day.
Generally painless, the procedure involves a phase where transplanted hair strands may shed within the first two months. However, this is a normal part of the process, and the hair regrows permanently after about 3 to 4 months. Additionally, the procedure carries minimal risk, making it a safe option for those seeking to enhance their facial hair.

Every man has his own preferred way of maintaining facial hair. These include growing sideburns, a moustache, a goatee, and even a rugged stubble. However, you cannot achieve your desired style if you are suffering from scarce or thin facial hair from burns, surgery, or another similar injury, and even genetics.
In the past, men would have just shrugged their shoulders and moved on since there were no known options to correct these problems. However, with the technological advancements today, specifically in hair transplantation technology, you can now have thick, natural-looking, and full facial hair that can be styled the way you want.

What can you expect from a beard transplant?
Similar to the more common scalp hair grafting, a facial hair transplant involves transferring hair follicles from a donor area on your head to the target area on your face. This process is typically used to enhance facial hair where it is sparse or absent. After transplantation, these follicles acclimate to their new location and begin to grow, giving you the desired facial hair appearance.
Cutting-edge beard transplant technique
Our expert team specializes in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a leading-edge technique in hair transplantation. We aim for transplants that offer natural-looking, dense hair which is both long-lasting and permanent. FUE is known for its minimal scarring and short recovery period.
Additionally, we offer non-surgical treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair growth stimulation.
PRP works by using concentrated growth properties to stimulate your existing hair follicles. It’s an excellent, less invasive alternative for those seeking solutions other than hair transplantation.
The facial hair transplant procedure
The procedure starts with an extensive consultation with our expert. Our experienced professionals fully understand what most patients hope to achieve with their hair transplant and will take the time to fully understand the patients goals.
Facial hair transplant procedures are ideal for a number of conditions. These include:
- Thin sideburns
- Patchy or thin beard growth
- Thin moustache
- Thin eyebrows in women
During the consultation session, the doctor will evaluate the donor sites to assess the number of available follicles. Based on the information, they will come up with a surgical plan that is specifically intended to help achieve your desired results.
The ultimate goal is to provide our patients in the Toronto and GTA area with first-rate facial hair transplantation surgeries. We have many satisfied and happy patients who can vouch for our meticulous and amazing work.

Medical history & pre-operative instructions
Sometime before your scheduled surgery, the doctor and staff who will handle the procedure will meet with you to discuss the process in detail. This meeting is about your general health, as well as to screen for existing medical conditions like asthma and high blood pressure.
Although these conditions may not directly prevent the facial hair transplant surgery from taking place, your doctor needs to be made aware of any health issues you may currently be experiencing.
There are only a few preparations necessary to do prior to the surgery. First, you will be reminded to refrain from consuming alcohol 1 week before the surgery. You must also inhibit from taking NSAIDs and other OTC types of medication like Advil. This is because these drugs may increase bleeding. This, in turn, makes taking grafts a lot more difficult.
Aside from avoiding these medications, you will also need to avoid Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E, Echinacea, and garlic. You need to keep all these reminders in mind to help ensure a successful facial hair transplant surgery.
The doctor will also give you a prescription for all the medicines you will need to take a week or so before the surgery. These include medications for pain, antibiotics, and medicines to reduce swelling. Make sure to follow all requirements regarding the dosage and frequency of intake.

This way, the hair will grow naturally – just like the rest of your natural hair. The end result will be facial hair that looks as natural as possible. The no-compromise philosophy that our clinic lives by will make sure that the entire procedure is performed flawlessly.
With this uncompromising commitment to superior results, our beard transplant team is widely known as one of the best in delivering top-notch facial hair transplant procedures in Toronto.
The day of your beard transplant procedure
On surgery day, the clinic staff will make your stay in the surgical area comfortable. You will also be given enough time to raise last-minute concerns and questions you may be entertaining about the surgery or the recovery period.
Local anesthesia will be applied to the area where donor follicle harvesting will take place. This is typically at the backside of the head. In the case of bald patients, the hair on the chest may be harvested and used as donor follicles.
After harvesting the donor follicles, the surgery team will prepare them for transplantation. This may take some time. During the interval, you can have your lunch, check your email or take the time to relax or sleep. You’re welcome to read our patient’s journeys and reviews by visiting our clinic’s listing.
Our facial hair transplant technique
The hair transplantation surgery will start when the hair follicles are ready. Because our surgeons are perfectionists by nature, they bide their time in making sure that every single follicle is implanted just as it would occur naturally, paying close attention to the hair’s overall density, as well as the hair growth’s angle.
Their attentiveness and keen eye for details helps them gain a reputation as one of the best providers of facial hair transplant procedures in the area. The time they spend on the transplantation aspect of the entire procedure is what puts our work way above the rest.
After the surgery, you will feel a bit sore both on the donor and the transplant sites. Not to worry as this will go away after a few days.
Beard transplants: The downtime
As mentioned, there is minimal downtime required for recovery. You can return to work the next day after your facial hair transplant surgery. However, you may see a bit of redness in the affected areas.
Don’t be alarmed if you notice hair falling out after 2 to 4 weeks, this is part of the healing process. That being said, the hair follicles are completely healthy, and after a few months, you will notice new hair strands growing and behaving exactly like the rest of the hair on your face.
