Anesthesia: The patient is sedated during the beard transplant operation. Thanks to this condition, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Sedation anesthesia method is applied by specialist doctors for a comfortable operation.

Hair follicles collected with great care are preserved in a special solution. In this way, the grafts are made ready for the procedure and are protected from any external damage or the risk of losing their health.
5. Canal Opening for Beard Transplant
Before the operation, a decision is taken between the patient and the doctor for the area to be transplanted. This decision provides an important convenience during the procedure.

Once the grafts have been preserved, they are implanted into the prepared channels. The number of grafts used depends on the patient’s needs and donor area condition.
