Dr. Arslan personally leads every package, performing the channel-opening incision himself in Gold and VIP. You are the only patient in the clinic that day.
A beard transplant starts with FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) — the same extraction method used for scalp hair transplant surgery. Individual follicular units are harvested from the donor zone (typically the back of the scalp), then implanted into the beard area either via standard FUE placement or with the DHI Choi pen, chosen case-by-case, at the precise angle, depth and direction required to create natural-looking density.
Before a single graft is extracted, Dr. Arslan hand-draws the new beard line on the patient's own skin, mapping density zones around the natural jaw and chin contour.
Beard FUE requires especially fine control over implantation angle. Beard hairs grow at very shallow angles (30–45°), significantly flatter than scalp hair. The angle of each implanted graft determines whether the result looks natural or artificial — which is why Dr. Arslan Musbeh personally performs the canal-opening in the Gold and VIP tiers, the extraction in the VIP tier, and sets every graft himself in the VIP tier (his trained medical team handles placement in Silver/Gold). At Hairmedico, every package is surgeon-led, one patient per day.

Dr. Arslan's team in the procedure room — the same sterile protocol and hands-on surgeon involvement applied across every graft procedure, beard included.
Donor zone for beard transplant: The suboccipital scalp (back of the head) provides permanent follicles. Once transplanted to the beard zone, they retain their scalp characteristics but adapt over time. They can be shaved, trimmed and styled exactly like native beard hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the transplanted beard hair look natural?
Natural results in beard transplant depend entirely on implantation angle. Beard hairs grow at 30–45° angles — significantly shallower than scalp hair. When this is replicated correctly by the surgeon during implantation, the result is indistinguishable from native beard hair. At Hairmedico, Dr. Arslan personally sets the angle of every graft in the VIP tier; in Silver/Gold his trained medical team sets it as part of the surgical plan he designs.
Is a beard transplant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The anaesthetic injection is the most uncomfortable moment — at Hairmedico this is delivered via the Comfort-in needle-free injector, which eliminates the needle sensation entirely. Once anaesthesia is established, the procedure is pain-free.
How many grafts does a beard transplant require?
Graft count depends entirely on the zone treated and current density. Targeted patchy areas: 300–800 grafts. Full beard from scratch: 1,500–2,500 grafts. Dr. Arslan provides a personal estimate after reviewing your photographs. See pricing →
Can a beard transplant be combined with a scalp hair transplant in the same trip?
Yes. Hairmedico offers a combined Head + Beard option that restores the scalp and beard in a single surgical session rather than two separate procedures.
Can a beard transplant cover scarring from a previous surgery or injury?
Yes. Grafts can be implanted directly into scarred areas of the beard zone, whether from a prior transplant, surgery or injury, to restore coverage and camouflage the scar.
Is a beard transplant done with FUE or DHI?
Extraction is always performed using FUE from the scalp donor zone. Implantation then uses either standard FUE placement or the DHI Choi pen, chosen case-by-case depending on the area and density goals.
How long does beard transplant surgery take?
A beard transplant typically takes 6–8 hours. Dr. Arslan Musbeh performs the surgery in person and treats only one patient per day, so the procedure is never shared with another case.
Where do the donor hairs for a beard transplant come from?
Donor follicles are harvested from the suboccipital scalp at the back of the head. Once transplanted into the beard, they adapt over time and can be shaved, trimmed and styled exactly like native beard hair.
Is beard transplant permanent?
Yes. Beard transplant at Hairmedico uses FUE to transplant DHT-resistant follicles from the scalp, which are permanent and grow like natural beard hair.
How long is recovery from beard transplant?
Redness and small crusts resolve within 10–14 days. Transplanted hairs shed at 2–4 weeks before regrowing permanently from month 3 onward.
