two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is not only about the scalp. Grafts from the back of the head, the FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, no incisions or stitches
Grafts are taken from the back of the head, the donor zone, through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, with no scars left. Before the operation, the doctor discusses the shape with you, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life, and the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The initial consultation is where the surgeon draws the eyebrow shape: you look through references together and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where plucking stopped hairs growing.
The doctor will assess the donor area, count the grafts and show what result is achievable in your case. The cost is named 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 answer 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.
Prices start at $2,200 (≈ R37,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ R42,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ R45,500) for the combined method. Your final price is set after a free graft count and locked into the contract.
It takes just one day from start to finish, and you're free to go home afterward.
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 pain during the procedure, thanks to local anaesthesia.
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.
The number of grafts is assessed for free by the doctor, based on how much donor hair you have.
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.
Hair growth is covered by a lifetime guarantee, fixed in the signed contract.

Why this hair transplant fits a resident of Durban
For a patient from Durban the procedure is one day long: FUE and DHI use no scalpel cuts and no stitches, only local anaesthesia. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ R37,000) is fixed in the contract once the free graft count has been done.
For someone in Durban the whole beginning is online and free of charge: photos of the thinning area go to the doctor, who looks at them and counts the grafts. The clinic keeps in touch 24/7, in the hours you are actually awake.
Timeline after surgery: healing 0-10 days, shedding of the transplanted hairs 2-4 weeks and it is normal, growth 3-4 months, density 6-9, final result 12-18. A personal coordinator tracks it all by photo with check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and the contract gives a lifetime growth guarantee.
