Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Beard Transplant

During an FUE beard transplant, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from a donor area—typically the back of the scalp—and transplanted into areas of the beard requiring increased density. Each follicle is placed at a specific angle and direction to mimic natural beard growth. This meticulous approach allows for customised results, whether you are seeking a fuller beard, designer stubble, goatee, or moustache.

Our Approach

At Merchant City Medical Group, beard transplantation begins with a detailed consultation and design process. Our specialists will discuss your goals, manage expectations, and create a bespoke beard plan that suits your face shape and desired style. We focus on achieving balanced, natural density while preserving long-term facial harmony.
