two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is not confined to the scalp. Same grafts from the back of the head, same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, free of cuts or stitches
The donor area at the back of the head supplies the grafts, placed through micro-punctures of about 1 mm with no scars left. Before the operation the doctor and you discuss the shape, taking your facial features into account. 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
We tell 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 — patients from other cities and countries are welcome, and you can start with a free online consultation.
FUE: $2,200 (≈ CA$3,150). DHI: $2,500 (≈ CA$3,600). Combined: $2,700 (≈ CA$3,850). A free consultation and graft count gives you the final, contract-fixed price with no hidden extras.
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 relies on tweezer harvesting with no incisions or stitches. DHI relies on Choi-pen implantation without channels. The combined DHI+FUE approach harvests by FUE and implants by DHI.
Graft count is calculated by the doctor at no cost, based on an assessment of your donor zone.
First comes 0–10 days of healing, then shedding at 2–4 weeks (a normal stage). Growth starts at 3–4 months, density is clear by 6–9 months, and the final outcome shows at 12–18 months.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.
Yes. An FUE eyebrow transplant costs $1,600 instead of $1,700. 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, and it also helps where hairs stopped growing after years of plucking.

Residents of Calgary: the procedure explained simply
FUE hair transplants for Calgary patients need no hospital stay: FUE and DHI go without cuts or stitches, under local anaesthesia, and the operation takes one day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ CA$3,150) is set in the contract after a free graft count.
The first conversation for a resident of Calgary is free and takes place online: the doctor looks at photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts. Every day the clinic is reachable 24/7, so you choose the hour, not the clinic.
Recovery runs 0-10 days; the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and this frightens nobody who was warned; growth returns at 3-4 months, density at 6-9, the finished result at 12-18. A personal coordinator keeps photo control at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and the growth guarantee is for life.
Hair Transplant in Calgary: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to CAD at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
Calgary's population, climate and scalp care while you heal
Calgary's population passed 1,306,784 at the 2021 census, and the city's climate has one quirk that matters for scalp healing: the Chinook, a warm dry wind that can swing the temperature by ten degrees or more within an hour, in any month of the year.
During the first 0-10 days, while crusts are still coming off, that dryness matters. Calgary's low humidity pulls moisture out of the scalp faster than a damp climate would, so it's worth using the aftercare spray or lotion your clinic gives you a little more often than the instructions might suggest for a wetter city.
Once the crusts are gone and the transplanted hairs start shedding at 2-4 weeks, a completely normal stage, a loose, breathable hat protects the area from wind and from the surprisingly strong high-altitude sun, better than a snug winter toque, which can rub directly against the back of the head where most grafts are harvested.
By the time growth begins at 3-4 months and density builds through 6-9 months, you're well past the point where Calgary's weather needs any special handling, right through to the final result at 12-18 months.
Calgary's elevation, 1,045 metres above sea level, is part of why the sun feels stronger here than the air temperature alone suggests, even on a cold, clear Chinook day in the middle of winter. That's a detail worth keeping in mind for the whole stretch from the 2-4 week shedding stage through to the 6-9 month density check, not just the first warm afternoon that catches you off guard.
Calgary is in fact the sunniest of Canada's 100 largest cities, averaging 2,396 hours of sunshine and more than 332 sunny days a year, with rainfall and snowfall low enough that its climate sits close to semi-arid. Combined with the Chinook, that means long stretches of bright, dry weather rather than grey, humid ones. Bright does not mean gentle for a freshly transplanted scalp: a sunny but cold winter afternoon can still deliver a real UV dose, and the low humidity dries out aftercare ointment and sweat faster than printed instructions for an average climate assume, which is one more reason to reapply whatever product the clinic gives you a little more often during the 0-10 day healing window.
Verifying a hair transplant doctor from Calgary
Alberta licenses every physician through the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA); its Physician Directory lets you search a doctor's practice permit, qualifications and any conditions on their licence.
Hair restoration isn't a separately regulated specialty title the way some surgical fields are, so it's also worth checking the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) directory, which verifies members and fellow members against its own standards for training and ethics, independent of any one country's licensing body.
At the consultation, it's reasonable to ask how the clinic tracks graft survival, who reviews your progress at the 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12-month check-ups the procedure includes, and what happens if shedding or growth looks different from the expected pattern.
It's also reasonable to ask for your graft count, technique and full aftercare plan in writing at the consultation, rather than relying on a verbal estimate, so there's a clear record to refer back to at each of the later check-ups.
Planning a hair transplant from Calgary without insurance help
The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) covers medically necessary physician services. A hair transplant for pattern thinning is elective rather than medically necessary, so AHCIP does not fund it, and Calgary patients plan and pay for it privately.
Because of that, it's worth settling every detail, the exact graft count, the technique, and what's included through the twelve months of follow-up, in a single written plan at the free consultation, before any date is booked.
Booking ahead matters too: because growth only becomes visible at 3-4 months and the final look isn't clear until 12-18 months, Calgary patients aiming for a particular event or season tend to work backwards from that date rather than booking close to it.
Can I start a hair transplant consultation from Calgary online?
Yes. Coordinators reply on Telegram and WhatsApp 24/7, and the doctor can give a first assessment from photos of your donor area and the thinning zone before you commit to anything in person.
Is winter or summer better for a hair transplant in Calgary?
Many patients prefer the cooler months, since a loose cap is easier to wear comfortably during the 0-10 day crust-healing stage than in summer heat, and the risk of strong sun on a freshly healed scalp during the 2-4 week shedding phase is lower. Either season works medically; the difference is mostly about comfort while the scalp is still healing and visible.
How do I check that a hair transplant doctor serving Calgary is legitimate?
Look them up in the CPSA Physician Directory for their Alberta licence, and separately check whether they're a listed member of the ISHRS, which specifically vets hair restoration training.
Will Alberta health insurance cover any part of a hair transplant?
No. AHCIP pays for medically necessary physician care, and a cosmetic hair transplant for thinning falls outside that definition, so it's a private, out-of-pocket procedure for Calgary residents. Many patients instead look at instalment options the clinic offers directly, since the procedure itself is budgeted outside of any provincial health coverage.
