Treatment Overview
The Standard Beard Hair Transplant – Full Jawline Coverage is a specialized procedure designed to create a dense, masculine beard along the jawline, chin, and cheeks using the patient’s own hair.
Korean surgeons typically use FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques to extract fine follicles from the back of the scalp or neck and implant them precisely into the beard area.
This advanced method provides natural density, smooth contour, and permanent growth, giving patients the ideal full-beard appearance that complements their facial structure.
Purpose & Benefits
The main goal of a beard transplant is to achieve a natural, evenly distributed beard that enhances the face’s symmetry and masculinity.
Key benefits include:
- Natural, permanent beard growth
- Even coverage along jawline, chin, and cheeks
- Minimal scarring and fast recovery
- Customizable density and shape based on personal preference
- Ideal for men with patchy or thin beards
Ideal Candidates
The procedure is ideal for:
- Men with sparse, patchy, or uneven beard growth
- Individuals who cannot grow facial hair due to genetics or scarring
- Those desiring a full, sculpted beard for a stronger jawline appearance
- Men who experienced hair loss due to burns, surgery, or trauma
- Anyone seeking a permanent, low-maintenance beard solution
Possible Risks & Complications
Beard transplantation in Korea is performed with exceptional safety, but minor temporary effects may occur:
- Mild swelling or redness around the beard area
- Small scabs forming around grafts (heal within 5–7 days)
- Slight tightness or sensitivity for 1–2 days
- Rare risk of folliculitis (temporary inflammation)
Korean clinics prevent complications with sterile micro-surgical tools, PRP healing therapy, and gentle after-care protocols.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean beard transplant specialists use advanced FUE and DHI systems to achieve precision and natural results.
Key technologies include:
- Micromotor FUE Extraction (0.7–0.8 mm) for minimal trauma and scar-free donor harvesting
- Choi Implanter Pen (DHI) for direct implantation with perfect control of angle and depth
- 3D Facial Design Software to plan beard shape and symmetry
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy to improve graft survival and healing
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to boost blood flow and growth rate
These innovations ensure uniform density, natural hair direction, and long-term durability.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step 1 – Consultation & Beard Design:
The surgeon digitally designs the beard shape based on facial proportions and hair type.
Step 2 – Donor Hair Extraction:
Follicles are gently extracted from the back of the scalp or under the chin using FUE tools.
Step 3 – Implantation:
Each graft is implanted individually using the Choi Implanter Pen to ensure accurate depth and angle.
Step 4 – Regenerative Care:
PRP or stem-cell therapy is applied to the beard area to promote graft anchoring and faster healing.
The full procedure usually takes 4–6 hours, depending on the number of grafts (typically 2,000–3,000).
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery after a beard transplant is quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime.
After-care guidelines:
- Avoid washing the face for 48 hours
- Use clinic-approved mild cleanser after 3 days
- Avoid shaving or trimming for 2 weeks
- Refrain from touching or scratching the implanted area
- Sleep with head elevated for two nights to reduce swelling
Most redness and swelling fade within 3–5 days, and transplanted grafts begin to settle within one week.
Results & Longevity
Visible growth starts after 2–3 months, with full density appearing at 8–12 months.
Once established, transplanted beard hair grows naturally and can be shaved, styled, or trimmed like normal facial hair.
Results are permanent, with strong root survival and natural texture.
