Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States has been under the spotlight not only in the US but also globally and is not an unknown name to anybody.
Joe Biden was born in 1942. Which makes him 79 years old. But he has an athletic look that, to us, does not reflect his age. He has dense hair, not many wrinkles or signs of ageing on his face. And of course, here comes the question: “what is his secret?”.

To be able to answer this question, we have done a bit of a google search and rummaged through some old pictures of Biden. We are sure that there is some support behind the secret of Biden’s youthful look.

When it comes to Joe Biden’s name, mostly, people talk about politics. No wonder! But we are not going to focus on politics in this article. Instead, we are going to focus on what we know and enjoy the most! With a small calculation of Joe Biden’s age and comparing with his perfect Hollywood smile, glowing skin and slick hair some questions come to our mind:
- Did Joe Biden Have a Hair Transplant?
- Does Joe Biden Have Hair Plugs?
- Does Joe Biden Wear a Toupee?

To start with, we feel like Joe Biden has had some work on his wrinkles, it may have involved a facelift or some other non-surgical procedures. When we look at his pictures, we also get the feeling that he has done something with his teeth; probably porcelain veneers.
And last but not least, the “magic touch” we are going to focus on: hair transplant! We believe that Biden has undergone a hair transplant that explains his youthful look.

Joe Biden in His Early Age, Before Hair Loss
When we look at photos of Joe Biden in his early years, we clearly see that he used to have a hair loss issue. It seems like in his early 30’s, Biden’s hair started receding in the front area of his scalp. According to what we see in the photos, he had androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness. In his 40s he already had a Norwood 7 balding pattern.

But as we all know, a presentable appearance is not only necessary for fashion and art celebrities. Whoever wants to give a good trust impression should have a consider about how he/she looks in public and the media. Now you think about a successful politician!
Later on, in his photos, it seems like the balding areas at the front have been filled.

In fact, in 1987, the closure of his balding areas made a Washington Post reporter inquire whether Biden has had a hair transplant or not. The reporter has directly asked Biden about his secret and Biden has responded very diplomatically: “Guess. I’ve got to keep some mystery in my life.”
This mystery has been going on for a long time. Even some people were suspicious about whether Joe Biden Wear a Toupee?!
Biden wants to keep his hair transplant as a “mystery”, but it is as clear as day that he has had a hair transplant. In fact, we believe that Joe Biden has undergone several hair transplant operations.
Does Joe Biden Have Hair Plugs?
Joe Biden Hair Plugs Were Looked Unnatural
Back to 30-40 years ago, hair transplantation was not as advanced as it is today. Some methods like FUE and DHI were not applied to any patient. Hair plugs were the only possible method for hair restoration. According to his photos, and technologies back to that time, our experts believe that Biden underwent a hair plug session.
As you see in the photos, Joe Biden hair plugs look pretty unnatural on his hairline. Plugs’ unnatural pattern has disappeared because he has undergone an FUE or DHI hair transplant in later years.

What Are Hair Plugs?
In the hair plug restoration method, doctors punch areas of the scalp into the donor area (back of the head) and transplant the pieces to the balding spots. In 2021 hair plugs sound pretty irrational, but back to 40 years ago, it was quite an advanced method.

We can see the first half of his head is kind of covered with hair, while the crown looks bald! We see he has pretty much run out of hairs in the donor area. Photos in his 30s is showing that back to that time he already had the Norwood 7 balding pattern.
Take a look at Joe Biden 30 years ago and now!
His hair in the front looks absolutely denser now! Back at that time, there were no approved medications for hair loss treatment either.
What is also very obvious for our experts is that President Joe Biden has had some other hair transplant operations with new technology in the later years.

Hair Transplant Then and Now
Back in the day, hair transplant techniques were not as advanced as they are today. Thanks to developments in technology, we currently have hair transplant techniques such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), or Sapphire Hair Transplant, which are less invasive compared to the previous hair transplant techniques. These techniques offer permanent results with quicker recovery times.
At MCAN Health we provide our patients with the latest hair transplant technology, performed by a qualified and experienced hair transplant team.
