two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant goes beyond the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, no cuts or stitches
Grafts taken from the back of the head, the donor area, move through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, with no scars left. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. The hair grows for life once transplanted; the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The surgeon draws the eyebrow shape at the initial consultation: you look through references with them and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where plucking ended growth years ago.
The doctor assesses your donor area, counts the grafts and shows the result achievable in your case; the cost is quoted at the consultation and fixed in the contract.

Care for every patient in comfortable rooms, modern equipment
1
Initial consultation
The first step is a free, no-obligation consultation where the doctor explains how FUE and DHI work, answers whatever you ask, and creates a plan tailored to your case.
2
Fixing the surgery date
This step confirms the date through a deposit paid by card at the clinic or online, with the arrangement recorded in a medical services contract.
3
Getting ready for hair transplant
This step is dedicated to pre-surgery preparation: completing the tests the clinic lists, following its instructions closely.
4
Anaesthesia — a pain-free transplant
With local anaesthesia used, the surgery causes no pain for the patient.
5
Collecting grafts for the hair transplant
This step collects grafts from the donor zone — the back of the head or the temples — using a scarless technique.
6
Placing grafts into the balding area
The grafts are implanted into the area of hair loss by the surgical team.
7
Healing after the transplant procedure
Everything you need for recovery, plus complete instructions, comes from the clinic at this final stage.
8
0-10 days — Heal
The crusts fall off, the swelling reduces, the area slowly recovers
9
2-4 weeks — Loss of the transplanted hairs
A normal stage. Only the hairs fall, the follicles stay in place
10
3-4 months — Growth starts
New hairs arrive gradually, the result starts to show
11
6-9 months — Density shows
Thicker hair, with the main volume and the contour now visible
12
12-18 months — Results set
A natural-looking hairline and final density form
At the consultation the doctor determines how many grafts you personally need and explains how the transplant goes
Free, before the operation and free of commitment.

I traveled to City Medical Centre, where they helped me overcome hair loss through a transplant to the balding areas of my scalp. I am grateful to the doctors for performing the procedure painlessly.

I am sharing my experience, because before the operation I went through a pile of reviews myself and was looking for real stories.
I had a beard transplant six months ago. Honestly, in the first days after the procedure I felt a little jittery: my face looked unfamiliar, there was slight swelling and small scabs. In the first couple of months the hair partly fell out, as the doctor had warned.
But now the result truly makes me very happy) From about the 4th month active, even growth began. The transplanted hair took very well, the beard now looks as natural as possible, no bald patches are left. The beard became much thicker and denser, with the shape I had thought about for a long time.
All in all, I recommend the clinic, the doctor was polite and explained everything 👍
The result is definitely worth it!

Frequent questions
We share what people ask before booking
People often say hair implants, but no artificial hair is used. In a hair transplant the doctor moves your own follicles (grafts) from the donor area to thinning or bald areas using FUE or DHI.
Yes, this is possible. An online consultation is offered so patients from other cities and countries can plan ahead.
Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ ₦3,350,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ ₦3,600,000) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.
It is a one-day procedure — you leave for home right after.
It helps with stable pattern hair loss and a receding hairline when there are enough donor grafts. Some types of alopecia need treatment first; the doctor checks this at the consultation.
It's a painless procedure, carried out under local anaesthesia.
FUE means tweezer-based, incision-free graft harvesting. DHI means channel-free implantation with a Choi pen. Combined DHI+FUE uses FUE for harvesting and the DHI pen for implanting.
Your graft count is worked out for free by the doctor during the consultation, based on the donor zone.
The timeline is: 0–10 days healing, 2–4 weeks shedding (normal), 3–4 months new growth, 6–9 months visible density, and 12–18 months for the final result.
The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.
Yes — 0% instalments for 6 months, from $367/mo.

From the first photo to the final result for a patient in Abuja
A hair transplant by FUE or DHI works for a resident of Abuja exactly as it does for anyone else: no cuts, no stitches, local anaesthesia, one day. Graft survival reaches 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000) is written into the contract after a free graft count.
You send photos, the doctor looks and counts the grafts, and the consultation costs nothing at all in Abuja. The clinic stays in touch 24/7, which means a question asked in your evening still gets a proper answer that evening.
Afterwards it goes like this: 0-10 days of healing, 2-4 weeks to the normal shedding of the transplanted hairs, 3-4 months to first growth, 6-9 to density and 12-18 to the final result. Check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photos with a personal coordinator, growth guaranteed for life.
Hair Transplant in Abuja: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to NGN at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
Two written opinions, one head: how to lay them side by side
Collecting a second opinion is ordinary prudence, and a free online consultation costs nothing to repeat. When two answers arrive, resist the urge to compare headline figures. Draw two columns and fill identical rows for each: the technique named, the graft count, the area of the scalp that supplies the donor hairs, who exactly will operate, what the contract lists as included and how many follow-up checks are scheduled. A reply that leaves a row empty is a question to send back rather than a blank to fill with hope.
Treat the graft number with particular care. At City Medical Centre it is not read from a table: the doctor examines your donor area, works out what your case calls for, and only then describes an outcome that is realistic for you. If another opinion quotes a number from two pictures alone, ask what it rests on. Two doctors may honestly differ on how much density a donor area can spare, but each should be able to explain the reasoning in words you could repeat to a relative.
Look, too, at what each opinion says about people who should be turned away. A document that never mentions refusal is weaker than one that spells it out. This clinic lists, among reasons against surgery, a pacemaker, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, severe cardiac illness, HIV, hepatitis B or C, an earlier pulmonary embolism, anaesthetic intolerance, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder and an age below 18. Hair that fell because of illness or hormones, along with patchy alopecia, is also named as territory where grafts do not fix anything.
Finish the comparison with a question about who answers when something looks odd in week three. Opinions rarely say, yet it determines how the months after the operation feel. The clinic names a personal coordinator for that, and you can ask a rival to name theirs.
What the three techniques mean once the jargon is removed
Clinics rattle off abbreviations, so here is the plain version. FUE means each graft is lifted out individually with forceps: no strip is cut away and nothing needs stitching afterwards. DHI is a different way of placing grafts, because a Choi pen pushes each one into the skin and no channels have to be prepared first. The third option is a hybrid that harvests the FUE way and implants the DHI way, and the clinic points to it when the aim is to thicken a zone that has already thinned.
The clinic puts FUE graft survival at 98 to 100 percent. Treat this as an average meant for orientation only. It shifts with the treated area and with the individual, so the doctor discusses it at the consultation rather than promising it in advance. Nobody can tell you your own figure before an examination, and a seller who does is guessing.
On the day itself, everything is finished before evening. Local anaesthesia numbs the scalp, the donor hairs are collected from the back of the head or from the temples by a method that leaves no scarring, and each one is then set in the thinning zone. Beforehand you complete a list of tests that the clinic supplies, and a deposit, paid by card or online, holds the date under a signed medical services contract. The amount recorded there stays fixed when the day arrives.
Ask which of the three suits your pattern and why. A good answer refers to your donor area and your goals, mentions what is traded off, and does not sound identical to the answer given to the person before you.
Photographs, notes and a dated folder for the online start
A phone is all the first stage requires. Shoot every thinning area in even light: directly above, straight on, both sides, then behind. Add two lines on when the loss began and whether relatives share it. Your coordinator passes the set to a doctor, whose reply says if grafts are likely to help. Booking is not involved and neither is a charge, and a polite refusal is a perfectly legitimate result.
Keep the same folder going afterwards. Aftercare is made of bandaging, healing inspections, a plan that covers both the transplanted and the donor zones, wash-and-sleep and headwear instructions, and a way back to sport. Control appointments fall at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months; between them, your coordinator answers questions and looks at whatever photographs you send as the scalp changes. That works far better when each file carries a date in its name.
It also helps to know the arc in advance, since the early stages can look alarming. Up to ten days pass while crusts come away and swelling settles. Then, between weeks two and four, the implanted hairs drop out, which is expected since the roots stay. Fresh growth appears at three to four months, thickness builds during months six to nine, and the final picture takes twelve to eighteen months.
Write down the questions as they occur to you and send them in one message each evening. Short, regular notes give the coordinator more to work with than a long message sent in a panic, and they leave you with a record of what you were told and when.
Looking a surgeon up with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria
Medicine in Nigeria is overseen by a statutory body, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria. It dates from 1963, keeps the register of medical and dental practitioners and issues annual practice licences. Its headquarters is in Abuja, with zonal offices in other parts of the country.
The register is in the middle of an update. In 2026, at a medical society's annual conference held in Abuja, the council's Registrar, Prof. Fatima Kyari, said the master register was being refreshed and would be published once the exercise ended. She added that specialists have to register any further qualification if they want to be recognised as specialists.
In practice, get the full name and qualifications of the person who will operate and set them against what the council holds. Put the name and the qualifications to the council and ask it to confirm what the register holds for that person, then keep the reply with the rest of your papers. On its side, the clinic states a medical licence and lets you see its doctors' qualification papers before money changes hands.
Insurance cards, and who actually pays
Nigeria's National Health Insurance Scheme was created in May 1999 and became operational in 2005, and a law establishing the National Health Insurance Authority was signed on 19 May 2022. The scheme is described as covering consultations, diagnostic tests, treatment and hospital admissions for groups such as government employees, the organised private sector and the informal sector.
Cosmetic hair restoration does not appear in that description. Before relying on a scheme or an employer plan, put the question to the insurer in writing and plan around the written answer rather than the card in your wallet. The clinic fixes a single sum in writing after the count of grafts, so that sum is what you set beside any insurer's reply.
What should I do if two doctors give me different graft numbers?
Ask each one to explain how the number was reached and whether it came from an examination of the donor area or from pictures only. A difference between opinions is a reason to request the reasoning, not to choose the bigger figure. At this clinic the count follows a study of the donor zone.
Which pictures should I prepare before writing to a coordinator?
Every thinning area photographed from above, head-on, each side and behind, in even daylight, with a short note about the start of the loss. The doctor looks through them and gives a view. The consultation reserves nothing.
How can I confirm that a doctor is registered in Nigeria?
Bring the surgeon's full name and qualifications to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, which holds the register and grants the yearly licence. The council announced a register update in 2026, so if a name does not turn up at once, ask the council to confirm it and keep the reply with your papers.
Will a Nigerian health insurance plan pay for a transplant?
Assume it will not until an insurer says otherwise. The national scheme is described as covering consultations, tests, treatments and hospital admissions, and hair restoration is not named there. Ask your insurer or employer in writing and keep the answer.
Is it normal for new hairs to fall out in the first month?
Yes, it is expected: between two and four weeks the grafted hairs shed while roots remain in the skin. First fresh growth appears at three to four months. If anything looks different from what you were told, send a dated photograph to your coordinator.
Which documents can I ask to see before paying a deposit?
Ask to read the medical services contract, to see the licence and the doctors' qualification papers, and to have the follow-up dates written out for 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Request them as files you can keep, not as a chat summary.
Does the surgeon who sees my pictures also operate?
Yes. Whoever you speak to at the consultation also operates, having already studied the donor zone. Ask for that doctor's name early so you can check it with the council.
