Beard (Facial Hair) Transplant in Korea

At Woomchan Hair Transplant Clinics, we understand the growing importance of a healthy, full beard as a symbol of confidence and style. Sparse or patchy facial hair can be a common concern for men, and our beard transplant procedures are designed to help you achieve the full, natural beard you’ve always wanted.

What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a specialized facial hair restoration procedure where healthy hair follicles are extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and implanted into the beard or mustache area. This clinically proven method offers a permanent solution to facial hair loss and ensures a natural, fuller appearance.

How Does a Beard Transplant Work?

After your consultation with one of our certified hair transplant specialists, a personalized treatment plan will be created to suit your needs and schedule. On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) process. Hair follicles from the donor area—unaffected by hair loss hormones like DHT—are carefully extracted and implanted into the targeted areas of the beard.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Over the following months, the transplanted hair will grow naturally, blending seamlessly with your existing facial hair. The results not only provide a fuller beard but also promote continued growth, offering a long-term solution to patchy or sparse facial hair.

If facial hair loss is affecting your confidence, a beard transplant in Korea at Woomchan Hair Transplant Clinics is a trusted solution. Book your consultation today and take the first step toward a fuller, more defined beard!

Results and Beard transplant Aftercare

The results of FUE surgery are certainly to be desired! When compared to alternative treatments, no other procedure or remedy quite compares. FUE not only ensures that you will leave our clinic with results that are almost noticeable immediately, but that you will be able to grow a fuller beard for years to come.

With FUE surgery, you can typically expect all scarring to have healed within 7-14 days. Moreover, as there are no need for stitches (as there is with FUT surgery), no patient has complained of scalp tightness or major pain after the surgery.

If, however, you have any problem after your surgery, our clinic prides itself on offering industry leading aftercare. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at:

Why Should I get a Beard Transplant?

There are many reasons as to why patients come to us wishing for a beard transplant. Whether it be for a medical purpose, a decision to cover up visible scarring, or a need to restore some much needed self confidence, we have you covered! Anyway, on with the explanations…

Alopecia Barbae, defined as hair loss in the beard area, is a common problem facing men of all ages. Characterised by symptoms such as hair shedding, redness on the face and neck, the appearance of bald spots on the face, there are a range of explanations for the condition:

Facial Trauma – the experience of physical trauma, from events such as car crashes or chemical burns, are a common explanation for facial baldness. Many patients who have experienced this want a beard transplant to hide any signs of visible scarring.
Medical Treatments – Often, cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have many negative side effects. One of which is the experience of hair loss all over the body. Unfortunately, beard hair is no less susceptible.
Alopecia Barbae – This autoimmune disease, sometimes labelled as the ‘smaller brother’ of alopecia areata, is where the body’s immune system attacks (and shrinks) hair follicles in the facial area.
Trichotillomania – this is the name given to a psychological condition in which patients (often unknowingly) cause facial hair loss through constant touching, pulling, and straining of the beard.

According to YouGov, it is currently estimated that 55% of men across the world have beards. What’s more is that this number is seen to be continually rising across the world. Even in Britain, the percentage of men with beards has increased from 37% in 2011 to 42% in 2016. As a result, those unable to grow fuller beards look for solutions to fit in with this rising trend.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a beard transplant cost?

The cost of a beard transplant in South Korea varies depending on factors such as the clinic’s reputation, the surgeon’s expertise, and the number of grafts required. On average, prices range from $2,000 to $7,000.

What separates a beard transplant from a hair transplant procedure?

While beard transplants and hair transplants use the same techniques, the key difference lies in the donor area. For hair transplants, donor hairs are commonly harvested from the back and sides of the head, near the ears. In contrast, beard transplants typically source donor hairs almost exclusively from the back of the scalp. This is because the length and color of these follicles closely match natural beard hair, ensuring a seamless and natural result.

Should I expect to have any scars on my face after my beard transplant surgery?

Scarring after a beard transplant or similar surgery depends on the technique used and individual healing factors. Here’s what to expect:

1. Scarring with FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):

Appearance: Leaves a linear scar at the donor site, typically on the back of the scalp.
Visibility: Scar is usually hidden by surrounding hair but may be noticeable if the hair is kept very short.
Healing: Proper aftercare can help minimize scar visibility.

2. Scarring with FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

Appearance: Leaves tiny, dot-like scars in the donor area where follicles are extracted.
Visibility: Scars are generally minimal and blend well with the surrounding scalp, even with shorter hairstyles.
Healing: FUE scars tend to fade over time and are less noticeable compared to FUT.

3. Factors Influencing Scarring:

Skin Type: People prone to keloid or hypertrophic scars may experience more visible scarring.
Surgeon’s Expertise: An experienced surgeon can minimize scarring with precise techniques.
Postoperative Care: Following the surgeon’s aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure, keeping the area clean, and applying scar-healing products, can improve healing.

4. Treatments to Minimize Scars:

Topical Treatments: Silicone gels, creams, or sheets can help reduce scar visibility.
Laser Therapy: May improve the appearance of scars over time.
Microneedling or PRP Therapy: Can promote collagen production and reduce scarring.

If you’re concerned about scarring, consult with your surgeon to discuss options for prevention and treatment.

When should I shave after my beard transplant?

After a beard transplant, it’s important to allow sufficient time for healing before shaving to avoid damaging the newly transplanted grafts. Here’s a general timeline:

First 7–10 Days: Avoid touching or shaving the transplant area to let the grafts settle securely. This is a critical healing period.
2–4 Weeks: The transplanted area will begin to heal, and scabs may fall off naturally. It’s still recommended to avoid shaving directly over the transplanted follicles.
4 Weeks and Beyond: By the fourth week, most patients can begin shaving gently. Use an electric trimmer instead of a razor to reduce irritation.
After 6–8 Weeks: At this stage, the transplanted grafts are firmly established, and you can return to shaving as normal.

Always consult your surgeon for specific advice based on your healing progress, as timelines may vary depending on the individual and the technique used.
