In FUE beard and mustache transplantation method; the nape region where the haircut is performed is anesthetized with local anesthesia and then the hair follicles are collected one by one with a micro motor. The collected roots are kept in hyposol or cold isotonic containers. Channels are opened with steel-tipped blades called blades in the region where transplsntstion will be made. The opening of the  channels with an angle suitable for the exit angle of the beard or mustache located around the region is one of the factors determining the success of the operation. After the roots collected are placed in the opened channels, the transplantation process is completed.

* The frequency of planted roots should be adjusted very well. Roots that are planted too often lead to nutritional problems; roots that are not planted as often as necessary lead to visual problems.

* The angle of placement of the transplanted roots should be in harmony with the direction of exit of the beard / mustache follicles located around the tranplantation area. Depending on this, the new follicles to be produced by the planted roots may extend in the same direction as the follicles around them.
