Not every patient is a candidate

If your case can be solved without an operation, the doctor will say so at the consultation, and you will not waste your money. Below are the conditions where a transplant really works.

A man with bald patches at a consultation: a case where a hair transplant helps

The right cases for it

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • Bald patches and a receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Hair growth's genetic features
  • Effects left by an injury or burn
  • Shedding post-illness
  • Hair loss from hormonal imbalance

Still unsure where you stand?

A number is the only thing we ask for. Images of where hair has thinned reach a coordinator in a messenger, a doctor reviews them and says if a transplant would help. Free, and nothing gets booked.

Beard transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

A surgeon marking the beard line before a transplant at City Medical Centre

Grafts are drawn from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, and no scars are left behind. The shape is agreed with the doctor before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life: trim and style the beard as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

First comes the drawing, which the surgeon produces at the opening consultation: example photos are considered jointly and your facial proportions shape the curve. Hairs are angled exactly as they should grow, so the brows look like nature's own. Growth lost to long years of plucking is answered this way.

    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!

Things people ask

We cover 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.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes. City Medical Centre accepts patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available before you decide.

FUE: $2,200 (≈ EGP 115,000). DHI: $2,500 (≈ EGP 135,000). Combined: $2,700 (≈ EGP 145,000). A free consultation and graft count gives you the final, contract-fixed price with no hidden extras.

The whole operation is completed in one day, with no overnight stay needed.

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.

No — the procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is painless.

FUE is cut-free graft extraction by tweezer. DHI is direct implantation with a Choi pen, skipping channel-making. The combined technique takes grafts by FUE and places them using the DHI method.

The number of grafts is assessed for free by the doctor, based on how much donor hair you have.

Healing takes 0–10 days. Transplanted hair sheds at 2–4 weeks, which is normal. New growth starts at 3–4 months, with noticeable density at 6–9 months and the final result at 12–18 months.

The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.

It can all be checked

Alexandria: from the first question to new growth

A patient in Alexandria gets a procedure that keeps things simple. FUE and DHI are performed with no cutting and no suturing, under local anaesthesia, and the operation is wrapped up in the course of one day.

Getting an opinion costs a patient from Alexandria nothing: the consultation is online and free, the doctor sees photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts. The clinic answers 24/7, and replies come inside that window.

Allow 0-10 days for healing. The transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks, exactly as they are meant to, and the roots carry on working underneath. Regrowth sets in at 3-4 months, once that quiet phase is over.

Hair Transplant in Alexandria: price and what is included

Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to EGP at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.

How we prepare and review medical content · Medical disclaimer

Too many offers: how to sort them with three documents

Alexandria stretches for about 40 km along the Mediterranean coast, and in 2023 its urban population was 5,362,517, with the wider metropolitan area at about 6,100,000. Comparing hair restoration offers by advertising alone does not work. A small set of documents works better, and each can be requested from any clinic in a single message.

The first is proof of who is responsible: the medical licence and its number, together with the legal name of the organisation providing treatment. City Medical Centre says a medical licence is in place and that the qualifications of its doctors are open to inspection ahead of any payment. The second is the plan, which should name the technique, the graft total, the zone being treated and whoever will operate. The third is the contract for medical services, which sets out the sum, the deposit terms and the follow-up.

When two clinics give you these three papers, you can lay them side by side in ten minutes. When one of them gives only a price and a promise, you have learned something as well.

A word on the grafts. The clinic is clear that the number comes after a doctor has inspected the donor area, so a total quoted from photographs alone is only a first estimate. Wait for the figure named at the consultation and see that it is written into the contract.

Checking the surgeon, and who pays for what

In Egypt, doctors belong to the Egyptian Medical Syndicate, a semi-governmental organisation founded in 1940. It helps the Ministry of Health confer licences on physicians and has more than 230,000 registered members, and its Arabic-language portal includes a section for enquiries about doctors' specialties. With the surgeon's name from the clinic in hand, search it there and see whether the recorded specialty agrees with how the person was introduced.

On payment, the national picture is this. Law No. 2 of 2018 on Universal Health Insurance is mandatory, it works through contracts with public or private providers, and premiums for low-income and vulnerable groups are subsidised. Separately, the Health Insurance Organization covers about 60 per cent of the population. Nothing in those descriptions says that an elective procedure for hair is paid for, so ask your insurer directly, in writing, and keep the answer with your papers.

The clinic's own system is plain. A free consultation comes first, then the graft count, then the sum in the contract. To hold a day you leave a deposit, either in person by card or through an online payment. Instalments exist, and nothing changes the agreed sum on the morning of surgery.

Questions people ask before the first online conversation

Can the first step be taken from home? Yes. Your number and a few photographs of the thinning places go to a coordinator, who is on WhatsApp and Telegram around the clock. A doctor studies the pictures and gives an opinion on the usefulness of surgery. No slot is held.

What if the doctor says no? The clinic says it has no wish to put anyone through surgery unnecessarily. Surgery is sensible for androgenetic or diffuse thinning and for bare areas. It is poorly suited to compulsive hair pulling, a distorted body image, cancer, age under 18, epilepsy, grave heart disease, diabetes, a pacemaker, HIV, hepatitis B or C, a past pulmonary embolism, alopecia in patches, and an allergy to anaesthetics. After a refusal, ask what would fit instead and ask for the answer on paper.

Which method will it be? Three are offered. FUE lifts units with forceps, without cuts or sutures, and leaves hair at its natural angle. DHI places every graft straight through a Choi pen, so no channels are opened first. The third pairs FUE removal with DHI placement and is meant for adding density where androgenetic alopecia has thinned the hair. Your exact figures come from the doctor in the consultation.

What about the beard and brows? For a beard the nape supplies the hair, moved through punctures around 1 mm wide. For brows, the surgeon sketches the shape before anything else and goes through reference pictures with you.

Days 0–10 are for healing: scabs drop off and puffiness eases. Weeks 2–4 bring the shedding of the new hairs, an expected phase since the roots stay put. Growth resumes in months 3–4, fullness builds in months 6–9, and the clinic places the finished result in months 12–18.

Put those dates on a calendar before you choose a day. Ask the coordinator what the first two stages look like in practice, then check them against your work and family commitments. Included are bandages and healing inspections, written care for the implanted and the harvested zones, tips on shampooing, sleeping and head covering, and a plan for getting back to exercise and routine hair care.

A personal coordinator stays in touch the whole way and takes your photographs as your hair changes. Check-ups fall at the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 12-month points. Photograph the area before each one, with matching light and viewpoints, so you and the doctor can judge progress side by side.

What to write in your first message

A short, well-organised message saves days. Use four lines and the photographs: when the thinning began, how fast it has moved, whether relatives have the same pattern, and what you have already tried. Add any regular medicine and any condition from the list above.

Shoot in natural light with dry hair parted the usual way, covering the front, each temple, the crown and the nape, plus one sharp view of the donor zone. An older picture showing earlier density is a worthwhile attachment.

Describe your aim in one sentence, be it a fuller front edge, a covered crown, a thicker beard or firmer brows. Each aim calls for a different number of grafts, and the doctor can advise only on the goal you state. Read the sentence again the next morning and send it only when it still sounds right.

Finally, save what you receive: the plan, the method, the graft count, the answers and the contract, each with its date. A single folder is the quickest way to compare one clinic with the next.

How large is Alexandria?

Which body helps license doctors in Egypt?

The Egyptian Medical Syndicate, a semi-governmental body founded in 1940, helps the Ministry of Health confer licences on physicians and has more than 230,000 registered members. Its portal has a section for inquiries about doctors' specialties.

Does the Universal Health Insurance Law cover a hair transplant?

Law No. 2 of 2018 is compulsory, works through public or private providers and subsidises premiums for low-income and vulnerable groups, yet nothing in its published description names elective hair treatment. Put the question to your insurer in writing.

Who can I contact after the operation?

A personal coordinator stays with you through recovery and accepts photographs as things change. Check-ups are set at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

Which three documents should I request from a clinic?

Request the licence and its number with the provider's legal name, a plan naming the technique, the graft total, the zone and the operating doctor, and the paid-services contract.

Can I check the doctor myself?

Yes. Take the full name of the operating doctor from the clinic, run it through the specialty enquiry section on the Syndicate portal, and compare the entry with what you were told.

How do I describe my aim to the doctor?

Put it in one line, such as a fuller front edge, a covered crown, a thicker beard or firmer brows. Each calls for its own number of grafts.
