two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is more than the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
The FUE method, no incisions used
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 draws the eyebrow shape at the first consultation: you look through references together and the design takes your facial features into account. Each hair is implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where hairs stopped growing after years of plucking.
The doctor looks at your donor area, counts the grafts and shows what result is achievable in your case. The price 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
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. City Medical Centre accepts patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available before you decide.
FUE costs $2,200 (≈ SLE 55,000), DHI costs $2,500 (≈ SLE 62,000), and the combined DHI+FUE method costs $2,700 (≈ SLE 67,000). The exact amount is confirmed at a free consultation after your grafts are counted, and it is fixed in the contract.
The whole operation is completed in one day, with no overnight stay needed.
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 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.
The number of grafts is assessed for free by the doctor, based on how much donor hair you have.
Healing runs 0–10 days, followed by normal hair shedding at 2–4 weeks. Growth kicks in at 3–4 months, thickens by 6–9 months, and reaches its final result at 12–18 months.
You get a lifetime hair growth guarantee, written into the contract.
It can all be checked before you pay

What the procedure means for someone in Freetown
Living in Freetown changes nothing in the surgery itself: FUE and DHI are done without cuts and without stitches, under local anaesthesia, in a single day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ SLE 55,000) is fixed in the contract after a free graft count.
Nothing has to be arranged in advance to start in Freetown. The online consultation is free: the doctor studies photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts needed. The clinic is in touch 24/7, so you write when it suits you.
Healing needs 0-10 days; the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and the follicles stay in place; growth starts at 3-4 months, density builds by 6-9 and the final result comes at 12-18. A personal coordinator keeps photo control at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months under a lifetime growth guarantee.
Hair Transplant in Freetown: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to SLE at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
Registration of doctors in Sierra Leone: what the WHO database lists
Freetown is the capital of Sierra Leone, where English is the official language, and the 2024 census put the capital city and municipality at 1,347,559 residents. It was founded on 11 March 1792. For somebody in that city thinking about a transplant, the first practical question is who is allowed to treat patients and how that is recorded.
The WHO database of health legislation lists the Medical Practitioners, Dentists and Druggists Ordinance of 1908. It provides for the registration of medical practitioners and dentists and for the licensing of druggists. A patient does not need to read the ordinance, but the entry shows that registration of doctors is a recognised matter, so asking for registration details is a normal request, not an insult to a clinic.
Request the surgeon's complete name and field of practice, and look through the doctors' diplomas and certificates before any money changes hands. Ask to see the clinic's medical licence as well. The clinic states that whoever advises you at the consultation also operates, so the name you receive early is the one worth checking.
Write the answers down with the date. If an answer is vague, put the same question again in a message and wait for a written reply; a clinic that is sure of its credentials will be glad to send them.
Because the first weeks of contact happen in messages, copy the doctor's name, the legal name of the organisation and the licence number exactly as they arrive, and keep them in a single note. If the same name is spelt two ways in two documents, ask which is correct. Questions of this kind take a minute to send and save a long correction later.
A paper trail for a result that takes 12 to 18 months to judge
A transplant shows its final result a long time after surgery, so what you can compare on the day is not the hair but the paperwork. Message the coordinator, who answers in WhatsApp and Telegram at any hour, usually within 15 minutes, and request six papers: the licence, the name of the legal entity giving care, what each doctor has qualified in, the contract itself, a statement of what the agreed sum covers, and the dates of the follow-up checks.
When the replies arrive, read them for gaps. Does the contract name the technique? Does it say who counts the grafts and when? The doctor makes that count after examining the donor zone, and the agreed sum stays as written on the day of surgery. Then match the list of inclusions with what you were told in conversation, line by line.
The clinic holds a date once a deposit is paid, by card or online, and it records the conditions in the contract. Do not pay until the licence, the doctor's name and the inclusions are on paper and you have read them.
Make a habit of replying to every document with a single line: received, read, and questions follow. It keeps the exchange orderly and gives you a dated trail. If the clinic takes a day to answer a question about the licence, note that too; you are learning how it handles questions of substance.
FUE, DHI or the combined protocol: how the choice gets made
Three methods are on offer: FUE with forceps, DHI with a Choi pen, and a combined protocol that harvests by FUE and places by DHI. The doctor sets out survival figures, which are averages for guidance, at the consultation, and all three are done in a single day under local anaesthesia.
Put three questions on your list. What is the reason for choosing this technique over the others? How will the count be made, and where will it be recorded? What would change your recommendation? Keep the doctor's answer in one sentence you can read again in a year.
To compare two offers, put them in a grid with four rows: technique, graft number established by a doctor, area covered and operating surgeon. An empty cell shows what to ask next, and an offer without a technique or a count is only a conversation.
The same donor area serves a beard, where grafts pass through tiny punctures near 1 mm and leave no scars, and eyebrows, where the surgeon starts by drawing the brow and goes through reference photographs with you.
Pictures, honesty and the possibility of no
Suitability is judged first from pictures. A coordinator receives photographs of the thinning zones, a doctor studies them, and the reply costs nothing and books nothing. Shoot in natural light with dry hair: the front, each temple, the crown, the back of the head, and a single close, sharp view of the donor zone. If you own an older picture from when your hair was fuller, include that too.
Not everyone hears yes, and the clinic lists the cases openly: a high frontal line, thin donor hair, hair loss after illness or hormonal imbalance, damage from a burn or injury, inherited growth traits and patchy alopecia.
Tell the doctor about any contraindication in your first message, not at the last minute; the list is read out at the consultation.
Add a few lines of your own history: the year the loss began, its pace, relatives with the same pattern, and any treatments tried. If the doctor advises against surgery, that saves you money, which is exactly why the free review exists.
Questions to write down before the first consultation
A consultation moves faster when you arrive with a list. Write down why you want the transplant and what a good result would look like for you in one sentence. Then list the practical items: who will operate, how many grafts the doctor thinks you need and why, what the follow-up looks like, and who answers when something worries you between check-ups.
The opening consultation costs nothing, takes place online and binds you to nothing. A coordinator calls you back, a doctor reviews your photographs, and the figure is named only after the graft count and fixed in the contract. If you decide to go on, a deposit and a signed contract hold the date.
You may feel more comfortable asking a trusted relative to read the contract with you. Take your time over it, and send the coordinator any line that is unclear.
Prepare to be asked about your medical history, and keep a list of your medicines. If you take anything regularly, write the name and the dose so that you can answer without guessing.
Give the decision a cooling-off period of your own. After the free consultation, wait a day or two before replying with a date. Reread your question list and the notes you made. A clinic that respects the pause is behaving as it should.
If anything in the paperwork disagrees with what you heard, resolve it first. Disagreements are common and usually innocent: a word left out, a figure noted down wrongly. The remedy is also simple, a corrected document sent by the coordinator.
Number your questions before the first call, and ask the coordinator to answer under the same numbers. A numbered reply is simple to check against the contract, and anything missing is visible at a glance. Two or three short messages in this form tell you more about the clinic than one long conversation.
Is there a legal basis for registering doctors in Sierra Leone?
Yes. The WHO legislation database lists a Medical Practitioners, Dentists and Druggists Ordinance of 1908 that provides for the registration of medical practitioners and dentists. For the clinic's surgeon, compare the name and specialisation with the diplomas and certificates the clinic shows before you pay.
Can the same donor area be used for a beard or eyebrows?
Yes. For a beard, grafts from the back of the head move through micro-punctures of about 1 mm and leave no scars. For eyebrows the surgeon draws the brow line first and reviews reference photographs with you.
Which pictures does a coordinator ask for?
Pictures of every area where hair has thinned, ideally in daylight. A doctor reviews them and says if a transplant would help; at the consultation the donor zone is inspected and the grafts are counted.
What should I ask to see before paying a deposit?
The clinic's medical licence, the doctors' diplomas and certificates, the services contract and the inclusions list that runs to the 12-month follow-up.
How can I keep my own record of the process?
Photograph the scalp in the same light and from the same angles before surgery and at every check-up, and send the pictures to your coordinator together with your question.
Is it sensible to ask a relative to read the contract with me?
Yes. A second reader often notices a missing line, and the coordinator will answer any question you send in writing.
