Facial Hair Restoration
Beard transplant
Achieve the full, well-defined beard you have always wanted. Using precision FUE techniques, Dr. Anchal Shah transplants hair follicles from the scalp to your face - creating a natural, permanent beard tailored to your facial structure.
What is a Beard Transplant?
A beard transplant is a hair restoration procedure that uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to harvest individual hair follicles from the scalp donor area and transplant them to the beard, moustache, sideburn, or goatee region.
This procedure is ideal for men with patchy beards, thin facial hair, scarring from injuries or surgery, or those who genetically cannot grow a full beard. The transplanted hair is permanent and grows naturally, requiring regular grooming just like natural beard hair.
Dr. Anchal Shah pays meticulous attention to the angle, direction, and density of each implanted graft to ensure the beard looks completely natural - matching the growth patterns of existing facial hair.

Graft Extraction
Fine, single-hair follicular units are extracted from the scalp using micro-punch FUE. Every graft extracted by Dr. Anchal Shah personally.
Channel Creation
Tiny channels are created in the facial skin at precise angles matching natural beard growth direction - critical for a natural result.

Each graft is placed individually to create natural density and growth patterns. Every graft implanted by Dr. Anchal Shah personally.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon. Dr. Shah pays meticulous attention to graft angle, direction, and density to match natural facial hair growth patterns. The results are indistinguishable from a naturally grown beard.
A full beard typically requires 2,000-3,000 grafts. A goatee or moustache may need 500-1,000 grafts. Patchy areas may require as few as 500-800 grafts.
Yes. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the permanent zone of the scalp and will continue to grow permanently in their new location.
Absolutely. Once fully grown (after 6-12 months), you can shave, trim, and style your beard exactly like natural facial hair.
The transplanted hair comes from your own scalp, so it may initially differ slightly in texture. Over time, the hair often adapts to its new environment and blends well with existing facial hair.
Typically 4-6 hours depending on the number of grafts and areas covered.
