Frequently Asked Questions About Our Beard Transplants in Chicago, IL
Is a beard transplant permanent?
Yes. Because the donor hairs are taken from the scalp, they continue to grow for life once transplanted to the beard area.
When will I see results?
Healing takes just a few days, but new growth begins in a few months. Most patients see their full results within 6–12 months.
What does recovery involve?
Expect mild swelling and scabbing for the first week. Most patients can return to normal routines within days.
