What is Beard Transplant?
The psychology of a beard transplant is different from that of the scalp. Typically, a beard is not something someone has lost, but rather something someone aspires to. If you have always wanted to grow a beard, and you can’t, get in touch to see what your options are. For full beard transplants, hair is typically harvested from the back of the head. For smaller in-fills, beard hair can be harvested from the neck and relocated to the desired area of face.
