Beard Transplant

A beard transplant is recommended for all men who suffer from beard or mustache hair loss and want to cover the gaps, lack of density, and make their beard more uniform. However, various factors need to be evaluated to confirm if this treatment is suitable, such as the causes of hair loss, the condition of donor areas, the extent of the problem, and the patient's history.

In the hair transplant evaluation consultation, Dr. Augusto Guerreiro will individually and multifactorially assess each case to determine if this procedure is the best solution or advise on the most suitable treatment for you.

One of the causes of beard hair loss or "bald spots," as they are also known, is alopecia barbae. This type of hair loss affects only men. However, autoimmune skin diseases, burns, or scars can also cause this problem.

Yes, a beard transplant is permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are small organs that are part of the patient's own body, so the survival rate is very high. Therefore, all hair follicles that adapt well will ensure the definitive growth of hair without problems.

The donor areas for a beard transplant are the occipital (back of the head), parietal (slightly higher than the occipital), and temporal (the region on the sides in front of the ears, known as "sideburns"). However, in the evaluation consultation for the beard transplant, Dr. Augusto Guerreiro defines the strategy to ensure proper management of the donor area. The service is personalized, and the choice is made according to each individual case.

Yes, a beard transplant looks natural if it is performed by a specialized and experienced doctor. It requires the appropriate selection of each hair follicle to match the existing beard hairs. It is a precise and artistic job carried out by the medical specialist meticulously to achieve results so natural and perfect that even the barber won't know you had a transplant.

In addition to the consultations leading up to the beard transplant, it is necessary to inform the doctor about allergies to medications or any ongoing medication. It is advisable to let the hair in the donor areas grow to cover the area while it is healing.

No, the recovery from a beard transplant is relatively quick. Usually, in the first 72 hours, you may feel some discomfort (or not, depending on each patient's tolerance), which can be easily overcome with the use of pain relievers. Some facial swelling may also occur.

After a beard transplant and during the first 30 days, you should:

• Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent the appearance of spots;
• Avoid touching your face. If you do, make sure your hands are thoroughly washed;
• Keep your skin dry, avoiding swimming in the sea or pool, as well as intensive physical exercise to prevent sweating;
• Wear easy-to-put-on clothing. Ideally, choose shirts that do not need to be pulled over your head or have a wide neckline to avoid touching the beard;
• Sleep on your back for the first 3 to 4 days.

Follow all the doctor's recommendations, and you will have a quick and uncomplicated recovery.

You can start trimming your beard with scissors after 15 days of the beard transplant when the skin has healed normally. From the 45th day onwards, you can trim or shave your beard with a machine.

The first results begin to appear at the end of the third month after the beard transplant. At this point, you can already observe beard growth. Between the fourth and fifth month, you will gradually have more density, and the gaps will be filled. In general, the final results are visible between the sixth and eighth months.

The cost of a beard transplant in Lisbon varies between €2,000 and €3,000. However, it is worth noting that the cost is calculated based on the quantity of hair follicular units needed to treat baldness or alopecia barbae.
