Did Kaspars Kaleba have a hair transplant? Yes, he spoke about it on Delfi.lv

Delfi.lv published an episode of its talk show “Par to pašu” on 5 February 2026 in which, as the outlet describes it, Kaspars Kaleba — head of the marketing agency ROIS — “shares his experience without holding back: about 120 anaesthetic injections, the five-hour and fairly monotonous process in which hair is taken out on one side of the head and put in on the other, about the cost of the procedure, and also about the hormone pills he may have to take for the rest of his life.” Delfi.lv adds that the clinic promised a lifetime guarantee, and that his own cost was around 4,400 euros.

Delfi.lv frames the interview around a simple observation: in marketing, appearance matters, and first impressions often outweigh years of experience. According to the outlet, it was exactly that pressure — hair becoming not just a question of looks but of credibility — that led Kaspars Kaleba to travel abroad for the procedure.

A modern hair transplant is an outpatient procedure performed under local anaesthesia — the many injections Kaspars Kaleba described are exactly this step. Follicles are taken one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the head, and implanted where hair is thinning or missing. The two main techniques are:

• FUE — grafts are extracted individually through tiny punctures and placed into channels prepared by the surgeon. No linear scar and no stitches.

A transplant works best when the donor area is dense enough and the pattern of hair loss is clear: a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or an overall drop in density are the usual reasons people consider it. Contraindications include patchy (focal) alopecia, age under 18, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, severe heart disease, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy and intolerance to anaesthetics; the surgeon checks for these before a date is booked.

The first ten days are about healing: small crusts form around the grafts and gradually come off, and patients follow instructions on washing, sleeping position and headwear. In weeks two to four the transplanted hairs typically shed — a normal stage, because the follicles themselves stay in place under the skin.

City Medical Centre performs FUE, DHI and combined hair transplants for international patients. The first consultation is free and can be done online: the doctor reviews photos of the hair and donor area, estimates the number of grafts, and names a price that is then fixed in the contract with no extra charges on the day of surgery.
