Everything About
Beard Graft Counts
Beard transplants use DHI technique almost exclusively. The Choi pen allows precise angle and direction control — critical for mimicking natural beard growth patterns on the face.

Donor for Beard Transplant
Beard transplant grafts are taken from the same permanent donor zone as scalp transplants — the back and sides of the head. Donor supply must be assessed alongside any existing or planned scalp procedure.

Can beard hair be used as donor for scalp transplants?+
Yes — in some cases, beard hair (BHT: body hair transplant) can supplement the scalp donor zone for large scalp procedures. However, beard-to-scalp transfers typically have lower survival rates and different hair characteristics. Dr. Arslan assesses this on a case-by-case basis.
How long does beard transplant recovery take?+
The beard area scabs for 7–10 days. Most patients can return to normal social activities within 10–14 days. Shock loss occurs at weeks 2–6, then regrowth begins from month 3. Full beard density is typically visible at 9–12 months.
Can I have both scalp and beard transplant at the same time?+
Combining scalp and beard in one session is possible if the total graft count remains manageable and the donor area can supply both. Dr. Arslan will assess viability during your free consultation and recommend the optimal approach.
Does beard transplant result look natural?+
Yes — DHI allows Dr. Arslan to place each graft at the exact angle and direction that mimics natural beard growth. The result is completely undetectable. Beard hair also blends naturally over time with existing facial hair growth patterns.
