two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
The same donor grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes, not just the scalp.
Beard transplant
FUE, no incisions and no stitches
Grafts come from the donor area at the back of the head and are placed through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, leaving no scars. The doctor discusses the shape with you before surgery, taking your facial features into account. The transplanted hair grows for life, and the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The surgeon sketches the eyebrow shape during the initial consultation: you look through references together and the design follows your facial features. The hairs go in at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where hairs have stopped growing after years of plucking.
The doctor assesses your donor area, counts the grafts and shows what result is achievable for you. The cost is quoted at the consultation and fixed in the contract.

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
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. The clinic works with patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available first.
FUE is $2,200 (≈ NZ$3,950), DHI is $2,500 (≈ NZ$4,500), combined DHI+FUE is $2,700 (≈ NZ$4,850). A free consultation with a graft count gives you the exact, contract-fixed price.
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.
In FUE, grafts are harvested with a tweezer, no cuts or stitches involved. In DHI, a Choi pen implants grafts without opening channels first. The combined method pairs FUE harvesting with DHI implantation.
Your graft count is worked out for free by the doctor during the consultation, based on the donor zone.
Expect 0–10 days to heal, then normal shedding of transplanted hairs at 2–4 weeks. Growth begins around 3–4 months, density builds by 6–9 months, and the final look appears at 12–18 months.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.

Hair transplant for patients in Auckland: what it looks like
A resident of Auckland can plan around a single day: FUE and DHI leave no cuts and no stitches and are done under local anaesthesia. Graft survival stands at 98-100 %, while a price from $2,200 (≈ NZ$3,950) is fixed in the contract after the free counting of grafts.
You send photos, the doctor looks and counts the grafts, and the consultation costs nothing at all in Auckland. The clinic stays in touch 24/7, which means a question asked in your evening still gets a proper answer that evening.
It heals within 0-10 days, the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and this is the norm, growth appears at 3-4 months, density at 6-9 and the final result at 12-18. Along the way there are check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photo tracking with a personal coordinator and a lifetime growth guarantee.
Hair Transplant in Auckland: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to NZD at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
Auckland's urban area reached an estimated 1,547,200 people by June 2025, and its climate is famously changeable: a temperate, humid oceanic climate where average humidity sits around 82%, there are roughly 130 rainy days a year, and summer (January-February) highs average around 24 degrees against winter (June-July) highs closer to 14-16 degrees.
During the first 0-10 days, while crusts are still coming off, that humidity and Auckland's habit of shifting from sun to rain in the same afternoon mean the scalp can stay damp a little longer after a wash than it would in a dry climate. Pat it gently rather than rubbing, following whatever specific aftercare instructions your clinic gives you.
With around 130 rainy days a year, a soft hooded layer is easier to live with than tugging a snug cap on and off whenever the weather turns, right through the 2-4 week shedding stage. Auckland still logs over 2,100 hours of sunshine annually, so when the sky does clear, the same basic sun-protection habits apply.
Auckland is also built across the Auckland Volcanic Field, a cluster of around 53 small volcanic cones, the most recent of which, Rangitoto, last erupted roughly 600 years ago. It doesn't change anything about how a transplant heals, but it's part of why the city's hills and exposed viewpoints can feel noticeably windier and sunnier than the sheltered streets below, which is worth remembering on any clear day during the 2-4 week shedding stage.
Auckland itself sits on a narrow isthmus, less than two kilometres wide in places, with the Manukau Harbour opening onto the Tasman Sea on one side and the Waitemata Harbour opening onto the Pacific Ocean on the other, a layout very few cities share. Weather can differ between the two coasts on the same afternoon, so it is worth checking the forecast for your own side of the isthmus before planning outdoor time during the 0-10 day healing window.
Confirming a hair transplant doctor from Auckland
The Medical Council of New Zealand keeps the Register of Doctors and Physician Associates, where anyone can check whether a doctor is currently registered, holds a valid practising certificate, and isn't under any restriction.
Because hair restoration isn't its own protected specialty title, it's worth also checking the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) directory, which verifies members and fellow members against its own training and ethics standards internationally.
It's also reasonable to ask at the consultation for your graft count and chosen technique in writing, rather than relying on a verbal estimate, so there's a clear record to check against at the later 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12-month reviews.
Using sick leave in Auckland around the procedure
Employees in New Zealand who've worked continuously for the same employer for 6 months are entitled to 10 days of paid sick leave a year, with up to 10 unused days able to carry over into the next year.
Since the surgery itself is done in a single day and you go home the same day, several Auckland patients use a short stretch of that entitlement to cover the appointment and the first 0-10 days of healing, rather than needing extended time away.
If your own employment situation is casual or part-time, it's worth confirming your exact sick leave entitlement directly with your employer or on the Employment New Zealand website before planning the procedure around a specific number of paid days.
Can I start a hair transplant consultation from Auckland online?
Yes. Coordinators are reachable on Telegram and WhatsApp 24/7, and a doctor can give an initial read from photos of your donor area and thinning zone before anything is booked.
Does Auckland's rainy weather get in the way of healing?
Not if you plan for it. With around 130 rainy days a year, a soft hooded layer beats a snug cap during the 2-4 week shedding stage, and patting rather than rubbing the area dry after a shower helps during the 0-10 day crust phase.
How do I check that a doctor serving Auckland patients is properly registered?
Search their name in the Medical Council of New Zealand's Register of Doctors and Physician Associates, and separately check the ISHRS directory for hair-restoration-specific verification.
Can I use paid sick leave for a hair transplant in Auckland?
If you've worked continuously for your employer for 6 months, you're entitled to 10 days of paid sick leave a year, which is generally enough to cover the one-day procedure and the first days of healing.
Does Auckland's volcanic landscape affect where or how I'd recover?
Not for the healing itself. It mainly means some viewpoints and hills around the city are windier and sunnier than sheltered streets nearby, which is just one more reason to keep up basic sun and wind protection on clear days during the shedding stage.
