Beard Transplant Before and After in Australia: What Those Photos Don't Show You
Before and after photos are the first thing most people search for when considering a beard transplant, and they’re also the most misleading part of the research process when viewed in isolation. Two polished images side by side hide an entire year of biology, a normal setback in the middle, and a set of variables specific to the patient in the photo that may have nothing to do with you. This piece walks through what those photos actually represent, the timeline hidden between them, and the questions worth asking before you become one yourself.

What "Before" Usually Represents
- Patchy growth along the jawline or cheeks is common in genetic or hormonal patchiness
- Thin or absent growth from scarring, whether from acne, injury, surgery, or burns
- A complete inability to grow facial hair in certain zones despite otherwise normal growth elsewhere
- Uneven density that makes a full beard style impossible to maintain cleanly

For more information on details specific to you and your hair loss journey, we recommend having a consultation with a Trichologist and/or a Hair Transplant Doctor. To understand risks and recovery about the procedure, read the FAQs and the Disclaimer
What Is Finasteride and How Does It Work?
- It’s a prescription-only medication under TGA regulations
- It’s typically taken as a low-dose tablet once daily, as prescribed by a doctor
- It’s approved specifically for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) in men
- It works internally, addressing the hormonal driver of follicle shrinkage rather than the scalp surface itself
What Is Minoxidil and How Does It Work?
Minoxidil works completely differently. It’s a topical treatment applied directly to the scalp, and its mechanism isn’t hormonal at all. Key facts about minoxidil in Australia:- It’s available over the counter at pharmacies, without needing a prescription
- It works by improving blood flow to hair follicles and extending the hair growth phase
- It’s suitable for both men and women, unlike finasteride, which is generally prescribed for men
- It requires consistent, ongoing application to maintain results
Why Are They Often Recommended Together?
Since finasteride addresses the hormonal cause of hair loss and minoxidil supports follicle activity through a separate mechanism, some prescribers recommend combining them for patients with a genetic pattern of hair loss. Combining two different mechanisms can offer more comprehensive support than either treatment alone, though individual response still varies significantly from person to person. This is not a decision to make without medical guidance. A proper assessment should confirm whether your hair loss pattern actually suits this combination, since not every case of thinning is driven primarily by DHT sensitivity.What Does Using Both Actually Involve?
Finasteride:- Taken orally, once daily, exactly as prescribed
- Requires ongoing use to maintain benefit, since effects reverse if stopped
- Needs periodic follow-up with your prescriber to monitor response
- Applied topically to the scalp, generally once or twice daily depending on the product
- Also requires consistent, long-term use, since new growth typically regresses if discontinued
- Can cause initial shedding in the first few weeks, which is a normal part of the hair growth cycle rather than a sign of failure
Who Should Consider This Combination?
Generally, this combination is discussed for men experiencing early to moderate androgenetic alopecia. Women are typically not prescribed finasteride due to how the medication interacts with hormonal pathways relevant to female reproductive health, and any use in women requires specialist guidance. Minoxidil, on the other hand, has formulations specifically available for women. If your hair loss pattern involves diffuse thinning rather than a receding hairline, which is common in female pattern hair loss, it’s worth understanding how diagnosis and treatment planning differ. Our female hair transplant page explains this distinction in more detail.What About Side Effects?
Both medications carry potential side effects that should be discussed with a prescriber before starting. With finasteride, some men report:- Changes in libido or sexual function in a small percentage of users
- Mood-related changes, which should be reported to a doctor if they occur
- Scalp irritation or dryness at the application site
- Temporary increased shedding in the first few weeks of use
When Medication Alone Isn’t Enough
Finasteride and minoxidil work by supporting and preserving existing follicles. Neither one can restore hair in areas where follicles have already stopped functioning entirely. For more advanced hair loss, surgical restoration becomes a more realistic path. Our male hair transplant page explains how this decision is typically made once medical therapy alone is no longer sufficient. Some patients also explore regenerative treatments alongside or instead of medication, particularly if they’re not ideal candidates for oral finasteride. Our GFC therapy page explains an alternative approach using concentrated growth factors to support follicle health.How Long Before You See Results?
Both medications work gradually, not immediately. Most guidance suggests it can take several months of consistent use before noticeable change appears, and results continue to vary based on individual response, the extent of hair loss, and how consistently the treatment is followed.Should You Start Either Without Seeing a Doctor First?
No. Even though minoxidil is available without a prescription in Australia, starting any hair loss treatment without a proper diagnosis risks treating the wrong problem. A scalp examination helps confirm whether your thinning is genetically driven, hormonal, stress-related, or something else entirely, which determines whether these medications are even the right starting point.Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use finasteride and minoxidil at the same time? Some prescribers recommend combining them for genetic pattern hair loss, but this should be confirmed through a proper consultation first. Is minoxidil available without a prescription in Australia? Yes, it’s sold over the counter at pharmacies, though a proper diagnosis is still recommended before starting. Is finasteride safe for women? Generally, finasteride is not prescribed for women due to hormonal considerations, and any use requires specialist guidance. How long before finasteride or minoxidil shows results? Both typically take several months of consistent use before visible improvement, and results vary by individual. Do these medications work for advanced bald patches? No, they support existing follicles rather than restoring areas where follicles are no longer active. What happens if I stop taking these medications? Benefits typically reverse over time if treatment is discontinued, since both require ongoing use to maintain results.Meet Perth's Leading Hair Transplant Doctors & Trichologists at Evolved Hair

Extraction
At our Perth hair transplant clinic, we extract grafts using the advanced Cole’s FUE method, combined with PRF injections in the donor area for enhanced healing and partial rejuvenation. Our single-use, precision instruments allow us to customise punch sizes according to individual hair characteristics, ensuring safer, faster graft extraction while maintaining the natural appearance of the donor zone.
Graft Preservation
Between extraction and implantation, follicles are stored in a temperature-controlled growth solution to maximise graft survival. Our Perth clinic uses advanced tissue preservation systems—chilled graft trays, ATP enrichment, Growth Factor Therapy, and Hypothermasol—to protect graft vitality and closely mimic the body’s natural environment.
Insertion
Each graft is carefully loaded into an ultra-fine implanter and placed at the correct angle, depth, and direction, ensuring natural, dense, and undetectable hair transplant results. This meticulous implantation technique is why patients across Western Australia trust our Perth clinic for consistently high-quality hair restoration outcomes.
Our Hair Restoration Pricing
Male Hair Transplant
- At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, the cost of a male hair transplant is determined by the number of grafts required and the overall quality of your donor hair. You can choose to focus on specific areas of the scalp such as the hairline or crown to customise the procedure to your priorities.
- This personalised approach helps maximise your results while using your grafts efficiently, often leading to a high level of patient satisfaction. In the end, deciding whether a male hair transplant is worth the investment is a personal choice, but many patients feel it delivers exceptional value and frequently wish they had taken the step sooner.

- This personalised approach helps preserve valuable donor resources and often leads to excellent satisfaction.

Beard Transplant
- With modern beard trends continually on the rise, many men are seeking ways to achieve a fuller, thicker and more defined look. Yet, not everyone can naturally grow the luscious facial hair they desire.
- While some men are blessed with naturally dense facial hair, others struggle to grow even light stubble. For those who want a stylish, masculine beard but can’t achieve it on their own, a Beard Transplant or a Beard Restoration offers a reliable and long-lasting solution.

Repair Hair Transplant
Repair hair transplant cost in Perth at Evolved Hair is determined by three factors: the extent of corrective work required, the condition of previously transplanted grafts, and your remaining donor hair quality. Unlike standard primary hair transplants, repair cases often require doctors planning to address scar tissue, over-extracted donor zones, or graft redistribution — factors that affect the total graft count needed. Evolved Hair offers transparent corrective hair transplant pricing — per-graft pricing with no hidden fees, backed by payment plans from $62/week. Many patients who had overseas or budget transplants find that quality corrective surgery in Perth delivers dramatically better outcomes at comparable total cost.
While deciding to undergo a repair hair transplant is a deeply personal decision, many patients view it as an invaluable second chance—one that restores not just hair, but confidence, and is often wished to have been done correctly the first time.

Special Case
- At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, the cost of a male hair transplant for Afro-textured hair depends on the number of grafts required, donor density, and the natural curl pattern of the follicles. Because Afro hair grows in a curved structure beneath the scalp, the procedure requires specialised planning and precise execution.
- You can choose to focus on areas such as the hairline, temples, or crown, allowing a personalised approach that preserves natural curl, direction, and density. Many patients feel the results offer exceptional value—and often wish they had taken the step sooner.

Hair Exosomes
Most patients typically require 2-3 exosome hair treatment sessions to see noticeable improvements in hair density, reduced shedding, and overall follicle activity. Because exosomes deliver highly concentrated growth signals, fewer sessions are needed compared to other therapies—but the exact number depends on your hair loss stage, scalp condition, and biological response. Some individuals benefit from a booster session after 6–9 months for enhanced results. Exosome therapy is designed to reawaken dormant follicles and support long-term regeneration, making it one of the most advanced options for hair restoration.

Hair Mesotherapy
- Hair Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps revitalise thinning or weakened hair by delivering a blend of targeted nutrients just below the epidermis (around 1 mm deep).
- Many cases of hair loss stem from hormonal imbalances, insufficient nutrients and reduced blood flow to the follicles. With Hair Mesotherapy, a specialised cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and DHT blockers is delivered directly into the affected areas of the scalp, helping boost blood circulation, support collagen production and encourage healthier, stronger hair growth.
