The Hair Restoration Institute Gets You Results
At Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota, beard and mustache transplantation uses your own healthy hair follicles to create fuller, natural-looking facial hair. The follicles are typically taken from the donor area of the scalp, then carefully placed into the areas of the face where more density or definition is desired.

How Beard and Mustache Transplants Work
During the procedure, individual grafts are harvested from the scalp and transplanted into the beard, mustache, goatee, or sideburn area. Each graft is placed with attention to the natural direction, angle, and pattern of facial hair growth. This careful placement helps the new hair blend with your existing facial hair, whether the goal is to fill in small bald spots, thicken a mustache, strengthen the cheek line, define the jawline, or create a fuller overall beard.
Permanent Facial Hair Restoration
Because the procedure physically relocates living hair follicles, the results are permanent. Once the transplanted follicles establish themselves, they grow hair naturally in their new location.
The new facial hair can be shaved, trimmed, shaped, and styled like the rest of your beard or mustache. Since the donor hair comes from the scalp, it may grow longer than natural facial hair, so regular trimming helps maintain a clean, even appearance.
Designed Around Your Facial Hair Goals
Every beard and mustache transplant is customized. Some patients want subtle density in a few weak areas, while others want a fuller beard pattern or a more defined mustache.
One-Day Outpatient Procedure
Beard and mustache transplant procedures are typically completed in one day. In some cases, treatment may take only a few hours, depending on the size of the area being restored and the number of grafts needed. After the procedure, the transplanted follicles gradually begin producing new hair. Over time, the beard or mustache becomes fuller as the new growth comes in.
Frequently Asked Questions about Beard & Mustache Restorations
Our surgeons map your beard transplant follicle by follicle, matching the natural growth direction, angle, and density of real beard hair so the result blends seamlessly with your existing facial hair. We specifically target the patchy or sparse areas, whether that's your cheeks, mustache, jawline, or chin, and fill them in to create even, natural coverage. The goal isn't an obviously "done" beard, it's the full, even beard you'd have grown naturally if your genetics and hormones had cooperated.
The hair used in your beard transplant comes from your own scalp, typically the back or sides where hair is thickest and genetically resistant to thinning. Once transplanted, these follicles behave like permanent, living hair: they'll continue to grow for the rest of your life, just like your natural beard hair does. You'll trim and groom it exactly as you would your own facial hair, since at that point, it is your own hair.
Most patients see mild redness and small scabbing in the transplanted area for about 7-10 days, with the majority of visible signs resolving within a week or two. Many patients return to work or normal social activity within just a few days, especially if you're comfortable with some light redness in the meantime. Once the initial healing period passes, there's no visible sign you had the procedure, just a fuller beard that looks like it's always been there.
