What sends most men to Istanbul for a beard transplant is not a different technique but the belief that the right hands are only there. At Sima, the specialists who operate in our Istanbul centre rotate to a licensed clinic in Aleppo and work by the same FUE, to one standard. Follicles from the back of the head, placed at the angle a beard actually grows, in one session, and back at your hotel by evening. Direct flights, a visa on arrival for most passports, a written quote before you book a seat, and follow-up at months six and twelve over WhatsApp after you fly home.
Beard and moustache transplant in Aleppo
The beard you were born to carry, when the mirror does not show it yet. A gap in the cheek, a jawline that does not join up, a thin moustache, or an old scar that leaves a small bare patch. The confidence is there. The face has not caught up with it. A beard transplant in Aleppo at Sima is performed by Your Hair Center’s Istanbul team, by FUE, the same technique they use in our Istanbul centre. The difference is a Syrian bill, and a city that costs a fraction to stay in. Your Hair Center’s Istanbul team · FUE · Aleppo
FUE for the beard, in brief
A beard and moustache transplant, sometimes called a facial hair transplant, takes fine follicles from the donor area at the back of the head and places them in the gaps of the beard or moustache, at angles that match the way facial hair grows. FUE is the foundation. One session takes six to eight hours under local anaesthetic, and the result is permanent because the moved follicles keep their genetic character.
Extraction from the donor area
The surgeon takes the fine follicles from the back of the head one by one. No linear incision. No stitches.
Opening the channels at the beard's natural angle
The receiving channels are opened at angles that differ from the scalp’s, because beard hair grows at an acute angle to the skin. This step decides how natural the final result looks.
Placing the grafts
The follicles are placed in the channels precisely, with the density of each zone in mind. The session ends in one day, and you go back to your hotel in Aleppo the same evening.
The team that performs the procedure
Your Hair Center’s Istanbul team, with a documented record from Istanbul, operating inside Sima, a licensed clinic in Aleppo. The same hands that work in our Istanbul centre, in Aleppo. A record you can check at yourhaircenter.com, not a claim.
Istanbul experience
Years of cumulative FUE experience in Istanbul’s clinics, before the rotation to Sima in Aleppo began.
A documented record
Beard and moustache cases completed by FUE, across the team’s practice in Istanbul and Aleppo.
Documented follow-up
Documented follow-up at month six and month twelve, included in the programme, over WhatsApp after you fly home.
And the moustache, in the same session
A moustache transplant is added to the beard session when the case calls for it. The moustache needs fewer grafts, and the work asks for more precision because the skin above the lip is sensitive. Ask for a graft estimate for the whole area over WhatsApp.
Are you a candidate
Two criteria, and both are simple. The first says whether the case is ready today, the second what deserves a closer look before going ahead. Each is given full time in the consultation.
- Age 22 or over, with a settled beard pattern
- Good general health, with no uncontrolled chronic illness
- A sufficient donor area at the back of the head
- Realistic expectations about density and timing
- Hereditary gaps or noticeable thinness in the beard
- Old scars from burns, acne or injuries
- Under 22, when waiting for the pattern to settle is wiser
- An active skin condition on the face
- A history of keloid scarring anywhere on the body
- Active or unstable hair loss on the scalp
Consultation over WhatsApp or in Aleppo
The real cost, Istanbul with us or Aleppo with us
The procedure price alone never tells the story. What settles the final bill is the flight, the hotel, the days away and who you can speak to in the room after the procedure. Both of our centres are open to you, so the table sets each line of the trip side by side. The figures are approximate, for comparison. Your own figure is set after the consultation.

| Return flights | 400 to 900 USD | Direct flights from Istanbul, Sharjah and Kuwait, arranged by Sima and billed at cost |
| Hotel, 3 to 4 nights | 300 to 600 USD at Istanbul rates | Aleppo rates, a fraction of Istanbul's, arranged by Sima and billed at cost |

The stages of a beard transplant in Aleppo, from the first message to the full year
Six stages separate the first WhatsApp message from the final result. Each has its timing, and a sign the team knows to look for. Two of them happen before you book a seat.
Day zero. You send photos from two angles and ask your questions. The reply comes from a medical team through an English-speaking coordinator, not from a sales desk.
Consultation
Before you travel. An estimated graft count, a density plan, the price and the dates that fit your trip, all in writing. The proposed beard line is drawn on the face and agreed at the clinic before the session.
Procedure
One day. Six to eight hours under local anaesthetic. You leave the clinic the same day, back to your hotel in Aleppo.
Recovery
The first week. First wash at the clinic, daily instructions over WhatsApp, mild redness that fades within days. You can fly home after the first wash, and the rest of the week is guided over WhatsApp wherever you are.
The shedding phase
Month one to three. The transplanted hairs shed for a while, and the follicles stay alive under the skin. This phase is entirely normal and expected.
The result
Month six to twelve. Full density, a natural direction, a permanent result. Follow-up at months six and twelve within the programme, over WhatsApp after you fly home.
Questions visitors ask before deciding
How much does a beard transplant in Aleppo cost?
Your figure is confirmed in writing after the consultation, by graft count and donor area. We send the full quote over WhatsApp before you book a seat, set beside the full bill for the same procedure at our Istanbul centre, so you decide with the whole picture. Travel, hotel and airport pickup are arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost.
When do the final results appear?
Real density starts to show between month six and month nine, and the result is complete at month twelve. Between month one and month three the transplanted hairs shed naturally, an expected phase that does not threaten the follicles.
Are the transplanted follicles permanent?
Yes. The follicles come from the donor area at the back of the head, a zone that is genetically resistant to hair loss. Placed in the beard, they keep the same character, and in stable cases the result is permanent for life.
Is the procedure painful?
The whole procedure runs under local anaesthetic. The only discomfort tends to come when the anaesthetic is injected at the start, and it passes within minutes. Mild painkillers are prescribed for the first days after the session.
Is a beard transplant the same as a facial hair or goatee transplant?
In most cases the terms describe the same area. Beard covers the cheeks, the jawline, the chin and the sideburns, while goatee or chin transplant is sometimes used for the lower part alone. At the consultation we mark the exact area on the face before the plan is fixed.
When can I shave after the procedure?
No razor for the first month. From around day fifteen, an electric trimmer with a guard is acceptable. A full razor shave usually returns after the third month, on the advice of the doctor following your case.
Can I pray and perform wudu after the procedure?
For the first three days, wipe the face gently without rubbing the transplanted area. From around day four, washing the face with water is fine as long as you avoid pressing on the grafts, and after ten days wudu returns to normal. For the first week, keep the face away from the prayer mat and pray standing and seated with a nod in place of prostration, a position accepted medically and known in fiqh. Full prostration returns after the first week.
Is a beard transplant permissible in Islam?
Most contemporary scholars consider the procedure permissible, as a restoration of what was created rather than a change to it. The detail varies by school of thought, and we recommend consulting the authority you trust.
How do I get to Aleppo, and how many nights do I need?
Direct flights reach Aleppo from Istanbul, Sharjah and Kuwait, and most passports receive a visa on arrival, paid in cash. Four nights covers the pre-operative check, the procedure day, the first wash and a day of rest. Most Western governments advise against travel to Syria; their advice is linked on the travel guide, with what operates on the ground and the dates.
