Hair for any zone comes from the back of the head, and the method used is FUE in every single case.

Beard transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

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

The donor area at the back of the head supplies the grafts, moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm — no scars are left. The doctor goes over the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life and the beard is styled as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

The eyebrow shape is drawn by the surgeon at the initial consultation: you review references together and the design takes your facial features into account. Hairs are implanted at the correct angle, so the brows look natural. It also helps where hairs no longer grow after years of plucking.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes — no one is turned away for living far off, and an online consultation forms part of the process.

FUE costs $2,200 (≈ DZD 295,000), DHI costs $2,500 (≈ DZD 335,000), and the combined DHI+FUE method costs $2,700 (≈ DZD 365,000). The exact amount is confirmed at a free consultation after your grafts are counted, and it is fixed in the contract.

A one-day operation, finished with a same-day discharge home.

No, not painful at all, thanks to numbing applied locally.

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.

Only an assessment of the donor zone gives the answer, and the doctor performs that at no cost.

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.

Hair growth is covered by a lifetime guarantee, fixed in the signed contract.

Chlef: why this operation is so straightforward

A hair transplant for patients from Chlef means one day of surgery, not a long course of treatment: FUE and DHI without cuts or stitches, under local anaesthesia. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ DZD 295,000) is fixed in the contract after a free graft count.

Getting an answer in Chlef takes no appointment at all: the online conversation is free of charge, the doctor reviews pictures of the thinning area and tells you whether a transplant helps. The clinic works 24/7.

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 Chlef: price and what is included

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

Chlef in its river valley: deciding on a hair transplant

Chlef lies in a valley between hill ranges, about 114 metres above sea level and some 200 km west of Algiers. It takes its present name from the Chelif, the longest river in Algeria. The town has worn several names over the centuries: a Roman fort called Castellum Tingitanum, later Al-Asnam, then Orleansville from 1843, before settling on Chlef. The city counted 178,616 residents at the 2008 census.

In a farming plain like this one, people are used to planning for long seasons, and that habit suits a hair transplant, where results are measured in months rather than days. The route starts with photos you take on your phone in daylight: the front, the top and the crown. Send them to our coordinators on Telegram or Telegram, where someone replies at any hour. A doctor then reads them and tells you whether a transplant would help.

You do not need to have every answer at this point. It is enough to say when the recession began, whether relatives share the pattern and what you have tried. The doctor then works out the grafts you would need from the donor area at the back of the head and describes the likely shape of your hairline. The consultation costs nothing, and no one asks you to book surgery before you have decided.

Hot summers, wet winters: recovery in Chlef's climate

Chlef's climate is classed as hot semi-arid, brushing the Mediterranean type: dry hot summers and mild damp winters. Summer afternoons run from about 32 to 37 degrees with nights between 17 and 21, rain is scarce at roughly 12 mm for the season, and July once reached 48.3 degrees. In winter the daytime highs sit near 15 to 17, nights around 6, and about 151 mm of rain falls, out of a yearly total near 389 mm.

Summer here means fierce sun and heavy sweat, and neither is welcome on a scalp in its first days. Healing runs for 0 to 10 days: little crusts form and drop off, the swelling goes down and the skin repairs itself. Our aftercare covers washing, sleeping and headwear, so ask your coordinator which cover suits strong valley sunshine, and when to put it on and take it off.

In winter the issue is damp rather than heat. A wet hat resting against a healing area is not a good idea, so keep headwear dry and clean and ask what to wear on rainy days. A spare clean cover in your bag and a little care about crowded or dusty places are usually enough for the first ten days.

Winter damp brings one more everyday question. Hair that has got wet needs gentler handling when drying, and the treated area should never be rubbed with a towel. Ask at the consultation how drying is allowed and when normal washing can start, and write the answer down yourself. Clear written instructions protect you from guessing wrong in days when your scalp cannot take experiments.

Fitting the operation into your calendar

The operation is done in a single day under local anaesthesia, and you head home afterwards with no overnight stay. What follows is a set of stages you can lay out on a calendar. Suppose you choose October. Healing falls at the start of the month, and between weeks 2 and 4, in November, the transplanted hairs shed, a normal stage during which the follicles stay in place.

New hair appears at 3 to 4 months, in late winter. Density becomes clear at 6 to 9 months, from spring into early summer, and the final look settles between 12 and 18 months. With this timing the toughest stretch, the first days of healing, passes in a mild autumn and away from peak heat.

Someone who works in fields or other open-air jobs may prefer a quieter spell of the season, while an office or university worker may find almost any month easy. Your coordinator will help plan the follow-ups, set at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, with growth photos sent from your phone and compared each time from the same angle.

What Algerian law expects of a practising doctor

Article 166 of Law No. 18-11 on health lists the conditions for practising a health profession: Algerian nationality, the required Algerian diploma or a recognised equivalent, and enjoyment of civil rights. Professionals must also register on the roll of the relevant professional body. Article 349 adds that the national medical ethics councils keep their rolls and that membership is compulsory.

The law refers to national and regional councils, each with disciplinary power, and it allows the health minister, heads of health institutions, patients and service users to bring matters before them. So when you ask about a surgeon's registration, you are asking about something defined in the text of the law, not a formality, and you have an official body to turn to if reality differs from what you were told.

Then there is your right to know. Article 23 says everyone is entitled to be informed about their health, the care they need and the risks they run. Ask for what the doctor explained to appear in the contract, and do not sign until you have read and understood every clause.

Questions worth asking before you decide

Begin by asking why the surgeon suggests a particular technique for you. FUE takes grafts with forceps and leaves no incisions or stitches. DHI implants with a Choi pen and no pre-cut channels. The combined DHI+FUE method extracts by FUE and implants by DHI. An answer based on your own photos is far more reassuring than a general one.

Next, ask how many grafts you need, how the hairline will be drawn to suit your face, and what happens if the loss continues over the years. Ask which conditions make a transplant unsuitable, since the doctor will say plainly if your case can be handled without surgery.

Also ask for a realistic picture of the outcome. No transplant brings back everything you have lost, and the limits of the donor area decide how much can be covered. Have the doctor explain how things change between month 3 and month 12, so the shedding stage does not come as a surprise.

Finally, ask how to wash and sleep, when training can resume and who answers questions in the first weeks. Your coordinator stays in touch after the operation until recovery is behind you, and has answers for whatever comes up.

Can I consult a doctor from Chlef without leaving home?

Yes. You send photos of the thin area to a coordinator through Telegram or Telegram, and a doctor reviews them and says whether a transplant would help. Coordinators are on the line around the clock, and the first consultation is free.

How long does the operation take?

It is completed in one day with no overnight stay, under local anaesthesia. Skin healing takes 0 to 10 days, followed by the shedding and growth stages over several months.

Will summer heat in Chlef affect recovery?

Strong sun and heavy sweat are not kind to a scalp in its first days. Our aftercare includes headwear, washing and sleeping, so ask your coordinator before the operation which cover best suits the local heat.

What about winter rain?
