Beard Transplant Malta
Restore patchy or sparse facial hair using carefully selected follicles from the scalp, with density, beard shape and hair direction planned to suit your natural facial-hair pattern.
From donor assessment to facial-hair placement
The process is similar in principle to scalp hair transplantation, but the beard requires a different approach to hair direction, distribution and facial design.
Donor assessment
The back of the scalp is assessed for suitable follicles, taking account of hair calibre, density and donor availability.
FUE extraction
Follicular units are extracted individually under local anaesthetic from the planned donor region.
Beard implantation
Selected grafts are placed according to the planned beard shape, direction, angle and density.
A beard transplant uses your own follicles
A beard transplant relocates suitable follicular units from the scalp to areas of the beard that are sparse or absent. It can be used to improve coverage in the cheeks, jawline, moustache, goatee or selected scarred areas.
Facial hair typically grows in different directions across the cheeks, moustache and jawline, so graft placement must be adapted to the natural flow of each region.
Beard transplantation can address different facial-hair concerns
Suitability depends on your donor area, skin condition, facial-hair pattern and treatment goals.
Patchy beard growth
Grafts can be used to improve selected areas where facial-hair growth is naturally uneven.
Low facial-hair density
Some patients seek greater coverage or visual density across the beard, jawline or cheeks.
Scar-related hair loss
Selected scars may be suitable for transplantation depending on the tissue and blood supply in the area.
Shape refinement
Transplantation may be used to alter or strengthen the outline of the beard, moustache or goatee area.
Why beard transplantation requires regional planning
A natural beard does not grow in one uniform direction. The cheek, moustache and jawline each have their own pattern.
Follow natural facial-hair flow
Implantation direction changes across different parts of the face so the grafts blend with surrounding hair.
Plan coverage strategically
Density is distributed according to the size of the area, donor supply and the existing facial-hair pattern.
Shape should fit the face
The cheek line, jawline and moustache transition should be planned around facial proportions rather than a fixed template.
Protect the grafts while the beard area settles
Early recovery focuses on avoiding unnecessary friction, protecting the recipient area and following the clinic's washing and grooming instructions.
Protect the recipient area
Avoid rubbing, scratching and unnecessary contact while the grafts establish.
Scabs settle
Small scabs form naturally and typically loosen as healing progresses.
Delay shaving
Do not shave or trim the transplanted area until your clinical team advises that it is safe.
Growth develops gradually
New facial-hair growth becomes more noticeable over time rather than immediately after the procedure.
Beard transplant FAQ
Patients with patchy facial hair, low density, selected scar-related hair loss or specific beard-shape goals may be suitable. Donor availability and the condition of the recipient area must be assessed first.
The procedure is normally performed under local anaesthetic. Patients may feel the injections used to administer anaesthetic and some pressure or movement during treatment.
Cost depends on the size of the area being treated, graft requirement and individual treatment plan. A personalised quotation can be provided after assessment.
Shaving should be delayed until your clinical team confirms it is appropriate, because the recipient area needs time to heal and the grafts need to establish.
The aim is for transplanted hairs to blend with the surrounding beard. Natural appearance depends on graft selection, beard design, implantation angle, direction and density.
