Beard Restoration - Regrow Density and Definition Naturally
From £130 per session
Patchy or uneven beard growth can stem from genetics, hormonal variation, traction, scarring, or inflammation.
At Dr Hans Clinics, we restore beard density through autologous regenerative medicine – using your own PRP or PRF to reactivate dormant follicles, improve micro-circulation, and strengthen existing growth without implants or medication.
This is a biological approach, designed to restore your natural beard pattern while preserving facial symmetry and movement.

DIAGNOSIS & CONSULTATION
A detailed Trichology & Diagnostics review is performed before treatment to identify the underlying cause of patchiness:
● Androgen-related hypotrichosis (DHT sensitivity or hormonal imbalance)
● Alopecia areata barbae (autoimmune loss in beard zones)
● Post-surgical or post-acne scarring
● Traction or mechanical stress from shaving habits
● Nutritional / stress-related shedding
● Treatment is advised only when viable follicles are identified under trichoscopy.

● Alopecia areata barbae (autoimmune loss in beard zones)
● Post-surgical or post-acne scarring
● Traction or mechanical stress from shaving habits

● Treatment is advised only when viable follicles are identified under trichoscopy.
AUTOLOGOUS TREATMENTS
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
● Platelets release growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1) that boost angiogenesis and dermal papilla activity, leading to stronger follicular anchorage and density improvement.
● Effective for early-stage patchiness and diffuse thinning.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
● PRF provides a fibrin scaffold that slowly releases platelets and cytokines over several days, ideal for inflammatory or scarring cases.
● The gradual release improves tissue remodelling and follicular reactivation.
