Beard transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

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 surgeon maps the brow shape during the first consultation, sample photos are examined together and your face's proportions dictate the outline. Because every hair is angled the way it grows, the result passes as natural. Brows that stopped growing after long years of plucking are a good fit for it.

Your main worries

We answer what people
ask before booking

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes, without any problem. The clinic treats people no matter where their home happens to be, and the case is assessed online beforehand.

Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ DZD 295,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ DZD 335,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ DZD 365,000) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.

Everything happens across one day, and nobody is admitted overnight.

Comfort is maintained by local anaesthesia; nothing hurts at all.

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.

You will learn the exact figure from the doctor at the free consultation, which rests on the donor area.

Plan for 0–10 days of healing. A shedding period at 2–4 weeks is part of the process. Growth appears from 3–4 months, noticeable fullness comes at 6–9 months, the definitive result at 12–18 months.

The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.

Hair transplant for patients in El Oued: what it looks like

For a resident of El Oued the method matters more than the map: FUE and DHI leave no cuts and no stitches, run under local anaesthesia and take one day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ DZD 295,000) is locked in the contract after a free graft count.

Nobody in El Oued has to leave the house to begin. A free online consultation is the first move: photos of the affected area reach the doctor, who says whether a transplant would help at all. The clinic replies 24/7.

The first 0-10 days are for healing; at 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs leave, which is the normal course; growth comes back at 3-4 months, density at 6-9, the final look at 12-18. Control visits at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photos with a personal coordinator, growth guaranteed for life.

Hair Transplant in El Oued: 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.

El Oued, the city of a thousand domes, and the first question about hair

El Oued sits in the Souf region of eastern Algeria, roughly 640 km south-east of the capital, and is known as the City of a Thousand Domes because most roofs are vaulted rather than flat. It grew up around a palm oasis fed by groundwater. The commune counted 134,699 residents at the 2008 census. In a place where the sun is a daily companion, anyone thinking about a hair transplant tends to ask two things at once: would it suit me, and how do I look after my head afterwards?

The first question can be settled without leaving home. Our coordinators answer in Telegram and Telegram around the clock. They ask for clear daylight photos of the thinning area from the front, from above and from behind, plus a couple of lines on when the loss began and how fast it is moving. A doctor then looks at the pictures and tells you whether a transplant would help in your case, or whether something simpler would do. The online consultation is free.

At this early stage the doctor judges the donor area at the back of the head, counts the grafts you would need and sketches a realistic hairline. Be candid about your age, your family history and any treatments you have tried. If a transplant is not right for you, you hear that straight away.

Desert heat, glare and dust: what they mean for a healing scalp

El Oued has a hot desert climate. Summer afternoons average around 40 degrees Celsius, nights stay near 25, and the all-time high on record is 49.7 degrees, set in July. Winter is far gentler, with days near 18 and nights near 6. Rain totals only about 134 mm over a whole year, the sun shines for more than 3,500 hours annually, and relative humidity averages about 40 percent, falling to 23 percent in July.

Those figures matter once the operation is behind you. The transplanted area goes through a healing phase of 0 to 10 days: small crusts form and fall away, the swelling fades and the skin repairs itself. During that window the scalp is tender, so direct sun and heavy sweating are best avoided. Our care routine covers hair washing, sleeping position and headwear, and it is worth asking your coordinator before the procedure which kind of cover suits a climate like yours and when to wear it.

Dry air can leave crusts feeling tight and itchy, and the urge to scratch is the real risk, because scratching disturbs the area you have just treated. Ask what you may use to keep the skin comfortable and how to apply it. The city is ringed by large sand dunes, so on a windy, dusty day keep the head covered as advised and wash your hands before touching the treated zone.

Choosing the season for your operation in El Oued

The procedure itself takes a single day under local anaesthesia, and you go home afterwards with no overnight stay. What follows lasts months, which is why timing deserves a moment of thought. Winter in El Oued is mild, and so are late autumn and early spring, and those stretches tend to be kinder to a scalp that is mending. The hottest summer months add a burden to the first ten days in particular.

Picture an operation in November. Healing falls in the first fortnight of that month. Between weeks 2 and 4 the transplanted hairs shed, a normal stage in which the follicles stay in place. New growth appears at 3 to 4 months, so around late winter. Density builds visibly at 6 to 9 months, which lands in spring and early summer, and the final look settles between 12 and 18 months.

There is no single correct month for everyone, because work, family and occasions all play a role. What counts is knowing early how the stages fit your calendar. Check-ups are set at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, and growth photos come to us from your phone.

How to check a surgeon's standing in Algeria

Algeria's health law, Law No. 18-11 of 2 July 2018, sets out how health professions are practised. Among other conditions, practitioners must hold the required diploma and must register on the roll of their professional body. The law also creates national and regional medical ethics councils for doctors, dental surgeons and pharmacists. These councils hold disciplinary powers, they keep the rolls, and registration with them is compulsory.

In practical terms, before you trust any surgeon, ask for the full name and specialty, and ask whether the doctor is registered with the relevant medical ethics council. The same law allows patients and users of health services to bring a matter before these councils when rules are broken. So you have an official route both for checking and for complaining, and asking about registration is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Article 23 adds another useful point: every person is entitled to be informed about their state of health, the care they need and the risks they face. You are entitled to hear from the surgeon, in plain language, what will be done and where its limits lie, before you sign anything. Whatever is said in the consultation should also appear in the written contract.

What to ask the surgeon before deciding

Start with technique. FUE means graft extraction with forceps, with no incisions and no stitches. DHI means implanting with a Choi pen, without cutting channels first. The combined DHI+FUE approach extracts with FUE and implants with the DHI pen. Ask why the doctor recommends one of them for you rather than another. The reasoning shows whether the choice comes from examining your photos or from habit.

Next, ask how many grafts are expected and what hairline the surgeon proposes. The donor area is finite, and stretching it across too large a zone thins the density.

Finally, ask what happens after the day of surgery: how to wash, how to sleep, when training can resume, and who answers your messages in the first weeks. A good reply names a person, a channel and a time, not just a general promise. With your coordinator on Telegram or Telegram, these questions stay open long after the operation.

Can I start the consultation from El Oued without going anywhere?

Yes. It begins online. The coordinator asks for photos of the thin area through Telegram or Telegram, a doctor reviews them and says whether a transplant would help. Coordinators are on call around the clock, and the first consultation is free.

How long does the operation take?

The whole thing is done in one day and you go home afterwards, with no overnight stay. It is carried out under local anaesthesia. Skin healing then takes 0 to 10 days, and the later stages unfold over the following months.

How does the strong El Oued sun affect the treated area?

In the first days of healing the skin is sensitive to direct sun and heavy sweat. Our care instructions include guidance on headwear, washing and sleeping, so ask your coordinator before the operation which cover suits your climate and when to put it on.

When do the transplanted hairs fall out, and is that normal?
