Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant works beyond the scalp: same grafts from the back of the head, same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
The FUE method, no incisions used
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.
At the first consultation the surgeon draws the brow, you look through reference photos together and the design is matched to the proportions of your face. Hairs placed at the growth angle make the brows believable. It also works where years of plucking stopped growth.
Patients in Athens start with a free consultation, where the doctor explains the FUE and DHI methods, answers questions, and builds a personalized surgical plan.
2
Booking your surgery date
This step reserves your surgery date through a deposit, paid by card at the clinic or online, with terms captured in a medical services contract.
3
Getting ready for the procedure
Patients in Athens prepare for the transplant by completing a set of pre-surgery tests, using the list and instructions the clinic provides.
4
No discomfort – thanks to anaesthetic
The surgery proceeds under local anaesthesia, ensuring a painless experience for the patient.
5
Where all the new hair is collected from
The donor area, located at the back of the head or the temples, provides the grafts, collected without any stitching.
6
The new hair goes into the thinning area
For patients in Athens, this step means the surgeons implant the grafts into the balding zone.
7
What to expect while everything mends
This step focuses on recovery, backed by everything the clinic provides along with complete instructions.
8
0-10 days — Early days
The crusts shed, the swelling goes down, the area gradually recovers
9
2-4 weeks — The transplanted hairs come away
The shafts fall out, the roots stay. That is the expected picture

3-4 months — Growth shows
Fresh growth comes through, and the change becomes visible

6-9 months — Visible density
The hair becomes thicker, the main density and contour are visible
12
12-18 months — What you keep
The hairline looks natural and density is final
The doctor decides the number of grafts your case needs and talks through the operation at the consultation
Free, before the operation and committing you to nothing.

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!

Your main worries
Here is 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 — City Medical Centre regularly treats patients from other cities and countries, starting with an online consultation.
Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ €2,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ €2,250) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ €2,450) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.
Surgery is done in one day, and patients go home the same day it's finished.
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.
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so it's 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.
A doctor determines the graft number at a free consultation, looking at your donor area's capacity.
0–10 days for healing, 2–4 weeks for normal shedding of transplanted hair, 3–4 months for new growth to start, 6–9 months for real density, and 12–18 months for the final result.
The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.
Everything can be checked before you pay
The clinic has a medical licence and provides care to the standards and clinical guidelines
under Ministry of Health.

Athens: why this operation is so straightforward
What a resident of Athens gets is a one-day procedure: FUE and DHI without cuts and without stitches, under local anaesthesia. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price starting at $2,200 (≈ €2,000) is fixed in the contract after a free count of the grafts.
The first step for a resident of Athens costs nothing and happens online: you send photos of the thinning area, the doctor examines them and counts the grafts. The clinic answers 24/7, which falls inside your own waking hours.
Give it 0-10 days to heal and 2-4 weeks for the transplanted hairs to shed, which is normal, then 3-4 months to growth, 6-9 to density and 12-18 to the final result. Check-ups are scheduled at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months with photo tracking by a personal coordinator and a lifetime growth guarantee.
Hair Transplant in Athens: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to EUR at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
The municipality of Athens had 643,452 residents in the 2021 census, and anyone among them can begin with a photograph. Before any technique or date, the first thing to find out is who looks at your photographs. Images of the thinning areas go to a coordinator in a messenger, and a doctor then reviews them and says whether a transplant would help. The first assessment is free and nothing is booked, so you can ask this question at no cost: which specialty does the doctor hold, will the same person operate, and can you see the credentials in writing?
The team includes a hair transplant doctor who is also a trichologist surgeon, a dermatovenereologist and trichologist, and a plastic surgeon. The clinic's rule is that the doctor you meet at the consultation also operates, so ask which of them is yours. Request the medical licence, the legal entity providing the services and the doctors' diplomas, and ask to see them before you pay.
In Greece two professional bodies are worth opening while you wait for the answer. The Athens Medical Association describes itself as the nation's largest and most enduring scientific medical society; its site has a search of doctors who are members, a search of member medical societies and a tool for checking the validity of certificates. The Panhellenic Medical Association, the national body, has a department for professional practice licences and specialty-title exams, and its site offers a check of the genuineness of certificates next to a National Register of Physicians. These sites are for reading, not endorsements of anyone: they show how the profession is arranged and which papers a physician normally holds.
Prepare your own short brief before the first reply arrives. Note when the thinning began and how it has progressed, which treatments you have already tried, which medicines you take, any chronic conditions, and what you want to look like in a year. A clear brief lets the doctor separate what can be changed from what is better left alone, and it gives you something to compare when you hear another opinion. The World Health Organization cites patient engagement as an example of a good return on investment in patient safety, and a prepared brief is a small way to take part.
Is a transplant the right answer for you?
Surgery makes sense for androgenetic or diffuse alopecia and for bald areas or a receding front edge of the scalp. The written contraindications deserve a slow read before you send a single photograph: they include trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, cancer, being under 18, epilepsy, serious heart conditions, diabetes, a pacemaker, hepatitis and HIV. If one of these applies to you, put it in the first message, because it changes the plan before anything else does.
Sometimes the honest answer is that surgery is not needed. If that is your case, the doctor says so at the consultation and spares you the cost. You need not work out your own category; the doctor decides, and neither a website nor a self-diagnosis replaces that.
It also helps to write down what you fear. Some people worry about the donor area, some about the front edge of the scalp looking unnatural, some about the long wait before the result shows. Say so at the consultation. Ask for the answer to each worry in writing.
Forceps, pen or both: three ways to move a graft
Classic FUE is described as a technique without incisions or stitches. Grafts are extracted by tweezer and implanted with forceps, the trauma to each graft is minimal, the transplanted hairs sit at their natural angle and graft survival with FUE is given as 98 to 100 per cent. It is the method listed for androgenetic alopecia.
DHI places the graft directly with a Choi implanter, a pen, so no channels have to be opened first. The combined option extracts by FUE and implants with the DHI pen, and densification is among its uses. Survival and trauma figures are averages; exact numbers depend on the treated area and the individual, and the doctor sets them out at the consultation.
Donor grafts come from the back of the head or the temples, using a scarless technique. In the operating room the order never changes: local anaesthesia numbs the area, grafts are taken, then each one is placed in the thinning zone. Everything is finished within one day and you go home afterwards. Ask the doctor which of the three methods fits your pattern of loss and why, and ask how many grafts the plan assumes, because the count is established first and the course of the operation follows from it.
A written checklist before the day of the operation
Ask for the plan in a document that names the method, the donor area, the expected graft count and what the sum covers. The sum is set at the free consultation, after the grafts are counted, and fixed in the contract. Look for these items in it: bandages and healing checks; a care plan for the grafted and donor areas; guidance on hair washing, sleeping position and what to wear on the head; a schedule for getting back to sport and routine hair care; contact with a personal coordinator; and reviews at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Ask whether anything missing is covered.
A date is reserved by a deposit, paid by card at the clinic or online, with the terms in a medical services contract. Read the contract before you pay and keep a copy. Ask what happens to the deposit if you need to move the date for health reasons.
Add your own questions. What exactly will be asked of me in the first ten days? Whom do I message if a crust looks unusual? Which medicines should I mention? Short, honest answers from the doctor tell you how the aftercare will feel in practice, and the written list is the thing you will return to when a question comes up.
Follow-up as a series of photographs
Recovery runs on a slow clock, and photographs are how you and the doctor see it. Crusts shed and swelling settles in the first ten days; the transplanted hairs fall out at two to four weeks, a normal stage; new growth shows at three to four months and volume at six to nine; the outline is judged at twelve to eighteen months.
Checks come at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, with photo tracking in between through your personal coordinator. Take pictures in the same light and from the same angles each time, and send a photograph when something looks unexpected instead of waiting for the next check. Write down what the doctor says at each stage in a single notebook.
Beards and eyebrows are done with the same FUE method and the same source, the back of the head. The doctor agrees the shape with you beforehand, taking facial features and proportions into account; the eyebrow operation is a day-case procedure under local anaesthesia.
The long wait is the hardest part. Between the shedding at two to four weeks and the first new growth at three to four months, there is a stretch where nothing seems to happen. Mark it in your calendar in advance, so that the quiet weeks are expected and not alarming. A message to the coordinator is always better than a worry kept to yourself.
A practical habit: choose one room, one lamp and one phone position, and photograph the same areas on the same day of every month. Comparing month three with month six is far more informative than any single picture, and the series gives the doctor something exact to discuss at each check.
Can I start with an online consultation from Athens?
Yes: a photograph of the thinning area is the first step, and the answer comes from a doctor, not from a form. The first assessment is free, and it reserves nothing.
How quickly will a coordinator answer?
The free online consultation promises a reply within 15 minutes, and coordinators are in WhatsApp and Telegram at any hour.
How can I check a doctor in Greece?
The Athens Medical Association offers a search of member doctors and a check of the validity of certificates, and the Panhellenic Medical Association lists a National Register of Physicians next to a check of the genuineness of certificates.
Which conditions rule a transplant out?
The doctor decides after seeing your photographs. Among the written contraindications are epilepsy, a pacemaker, hepatitis B or C, HIV, pulmonary embolism and intolerance to anaesthetics, as well as trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder.
What should the written plan contain?
The method, the donor area, the expected graft count and the list of inclusions. Ask for it before you pay.
What follow-up comes after surgery?
Five checks across a year, at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, plus dressings, healing checks and guidance on washing, sleep, headwear and return to sport.
Should I send photographs between checks?
Yes. If anything looks unexpected, send a photograph to your coordinator at once. Do not wait for the next scheduled check.
