For a typical beard transplant procedure, 3000 beard hair grafts are often removed from the face and neck area. The real transplant count may potentially be greater because many people never want to grow a beard. For the Follicular Unit Extract (FUE) harvesting procedure, the beard can generate between 3000 and 5000 single follicular grafts. The follicles are extracted using this procedure, which also employs pointed punches and shallow insertions up to 2 mm deep. Depending on the expectations of the patient, extra hair transplants may be necessary for their sideburns and mustache.
