What is it?

Your own hair, placed where your beard needs it

Follicles are taken one by one from the back of your scalp, where the hair is often closest in texture to beard hair, and placed into the patchy or thin areas of your beard.

Each graft is angled to match the natural direction of your facial hair, so once it grows in it can be trimmed, shaved and styled like the rest of your beard.

  • Fill patches or shape your beard lineCheeks, moustache, chin or sideburns, planned with you.
  • Grows like the rest of your beardTrim and shave it as normal once it has grown in.
  • Surgeon-ledYour surgeon designs your beard and leads your procedure, with a trained team supporting.

  • Good density at the back of the scalpYour donor area supplies the grafts.
  • Facial hair that has settledYour beard growth has stopped changing with age.
  • A beard line you’d like to defineSharper edges at the cheeks or neck.

May not suit you yet

I had a fantastic time here the staff are all super friendly and helpful and they really go out of their way to take care of you and made me feel very comfortable. The surgery went great and i was very well looked after and with amazing aftercare. The results were outstanding, i never thought id have hair again and now i have a full head after 2 procedures and am so unbelievably happy with it. Definitely would recommend it, its literally changed my life for the better .

I came to Aventus Clinic a year ago for my hair transplant and it was an amazing experience. The team made me feel supported every step of the way, alongside follow up reviews to check my progress. Fantastic experience, I cannot recommend enough.

I finally decided to bite the bullet this Spring and look at hair transplants to repair the fast fading top/front of my hair (also some crown loss) and decided on Aventus. My initial query on 31st Jan was followed up by a call back within 5 minutes and an initial appointment for the 2nd week of Feb. After which, receiving full details of what would be undertaken, the price and my decision to go ahead I was booked in for the first week of April. The procedure was undertaken by the very professional staff at Aventus and I was given all necessary aftercare treatments needed and routine aftercare contact which helped a lot. Now almost 8 months after the treatment I have a full head of hair which I have treated to it's first new hairstyle in almost 20 years. 100% recommend Dr Alam and his team at Aventus (I had written a much longer review with lots of details [over 2 pages] but Google said Too Long) I have told Aventus that I am happy to speak to anyone they have who is considering such a procedure but is nervous, so give them a call and ask 🙂 I truely feel like a different person both in hair and confidence.

If you're thinking about getting a transplant then I would definitely recommend Aventus clinic. The staff are lovely and friendly and they do a good job of getting you calm and safe. I had over 4000 grafts and the whole process was easy and professional.

I had a hair transplant back in October 2024 and researched extensively before choosing where to go. I know someone that went to Turkey and to be honest you can’t even notice an improvement so I suggest to anyone thinking of it, pay the price here or pay twice. I can’t recommend this place enough. The results are phenomenal from the procedure. I had my front hairline done and will be back if my crown ever starts to thin. 10/10.

I didn't use Aventus, I contacted them to see if they can help with my norwood 7 hairloss. The guy who contacted me was genuinely trying to help me with advice and to point me in the right direction. He made enquiries for me and got back to me quickly. Even though they couldn't help me as my donor area doesn't have enough hair, he still tried his very best to assist me even though I wouldn't be using their service. He was genuinely trying to help and I appreciated that.

Beard transplant FAQs

Common questions about beard transplants at our Hitchin clinic.

Can’t see your question? Call 01462 512166.

Will a beard transplant look natural?

Grafts are placed one by one at the angle your beard grows, with single hairs at the edges. Results vary, and we’ll show you what’s realistic at your assessment.

Where does the hair come from?

Usually the back of your scalp, where the hair is often closest in texture to beard hair.

When can I shave or trim?

Your surgeon will tell you when it’s safe after your procedure, once the grafts have settled. You’ll get written aftercare instructions to follow.

How long until my beard grows in?

Like scalp hair, transplanted hair usually sheds first and then grows in gradually over the following months. We’ll review your progress along the way.

Still unsure? That’s normal.
