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 cuts or stitches
Grafts taken from the back of the head, the donor area, move through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, with no scars left. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. The hair grows for life once transplanted; the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The eyebrow shape is drawn at the initial consultation by the surgeon: references are reviewed 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 years of plucking ended hair growth.
The doctor will evaluate your donor area, count the grafts and show what result your case allows. 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 — patients from other cities and countries are welcome, and you can start with a free online consultation.
FUE costs $2,200, DHI costs $2,500, and the combined DHI+FUE method costs $2,700. The exact amount is confirmed at a free consultation after your grafts are counted, and it is fixed in the contract.
The procedure is completed within a single day, after which you head home.
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.
With FUE, grafts are taken by tweezer with no incisions. With DHI, grafts are implanted directly using a Choi pen, without pre-made channels. The combined method mixes FUE harvesting with DHI implantation.
A doctor determines the graft number at a free consultation, looking at your donor area's capacity.
Healing takes 0–10 days. Transplanted hair sheds at 2–4 weeks, which is normal. New growth starts at 3–4 months, with noticeable density at 6–9 months and the final result at 12–18 months.
Hair growth is covered by a lifetime guarantee, fixed in the signed contract.

Thinking about a hair transplant in Harare?
The two methods offered to a patient in Harare, FUE and DHI, leave no cuts and no stitches, work under local anaesthesia and finish within one day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 is fixed in the contract after a free graft count.
A patient in Harare starts with photos, not with a trip: the free online consultation lets the doctor see the thinning area and count the grafts. Every day the clinic is available 24/7, so questions are answered without waiting for morning.
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 Harare: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars and fixed in your contract. Message us to get your exact price.
Starting from the capital with a phone and a free afternoon
Harare had 1,849,600 people in the 2022 census (the figure given for the city proper). If you live there and have watched the crown thin or the temples recede, the first move is modest: write to a coordinator in WhatsApp or Telegram, attach pictures, and let a doctor say whether a transplant would help. The assessment is free and books nothing.
Coordinators are on duty at every hour, which suits anyone who prefers to write after work or at the weekend. Keep the first exchange unhurried. Its aim is to learn what is proposed, by whom and on what terms, not to settle a date.
One habit helps from the first day: open a folder on your phone named after the operation. Save the pictures you sent, the replies, the name of each person you spoke to and the date of every statement. Two weeks on, when memories blur, the folder settles arguments.
Do not feel obliged to decide during the first chat. Ask for time, ask for the answers in writing, and compare them with the register entry and the documents later, at your own pace, with a cooler head and a pen in hand.
The Zimbabwean register and what a practising certificate means
In Zimbabwe the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council regulates the medical and dental professions, keeps the practitioner registers and oversees licensing. Its public register can be searched online and shows a name, a status, a qualification and a specialty; the list can be sorted and filtered by profession.
Use it as a cross-check. Ask the clinic for the full name, qualification and specialty of the doctor who would operate, and see what the register records under that name. A registered practitioner requires a valid practising certificate to practise, so ask the clinic to confirm that point for its doctors in writing.
Gather the clinic's own papers next: the licence and its number, the name of the legal entity giving care, and each doctor's diplomas and certificates, all open to inspection before any payment. The team lists a trichologist-surgeon, a dermatovenereologist and a plastic surgeon, so learn who takes your case and note the name beside today's date.
Compose the request as one message: the register entry you found, the licence, the legal name, the credentials and the contract draft. A team that is used to open questions answers calmly, item by item, and you can file each reply with its date.
Do the check in two sittings a day apart: one to gather the facts, one to compare them.
Matching method to pattern of loss
Three routes exist for moving hair. FUE lifts follicular units out singly with forceps; no incisions, no stitches. DHI loads each unit into a Choi pen and sets it straight into the skin. A combined protocol harvests the FUE way and implants the DHI way, intended for thickening hair where androgenetic alopecia is behind the loss.
Instead of asking which method is best, ask which method fits your own head. Where is the loss concentrated? How dense is the donor zone? Which result matters most to you: a stronger front, a covered crown, a fuller beard or firmer eyebrows? Ask the doctor to answer in a sentence you can write down.
With FUE the quoted graft survival is 98 to 100 per cent, an average rather than a promise. Your result rests on the treated area and your individual features, and the doctor sets out the details at the consultation, so treat earlier assurances with caution.
The operation fits into a day under local anaesthesia. Grafts for a beard leave the back of the head and are placed through tiny openings about 1 millimetre across, while eyebrow work starts with the surgeon sketching the line and reviewing reference photographs with you.
Keep the method discussion open until your photographs have been reviewed and the donor zone studied. When the answer comes, ask the doctor to name the single observation in your photographs that drove the choice, and write that reason beside the method.
Prepare questions in advance. Which stage will the doctor perform personally? Which tests precede surgery, and who explains how to complete them? What happens in the first days at home? Which instructions on washing, sleep and headwear will arrive in writing? Keep the answers next to the contract, because they define what you are agreeing to.
Treat the answer about method as a hypothesis rather than a verdict. Ask the doctor which observation in your photographs led to the recommendation, and write the reason next to the method's name. If the donor zone later looks different from what the pictures suggested, that note shows what changed and why.
A photo set a doctor can read, and a short history to go with it
Good pictures save days. Pick daylight and a plain wall, switch the flash off and leave the hair dry and parted as usual. Take the crown, the front, each temple, the back and a close image of the donor zone. A snapshot from years ago, when your hair was fuller, shows the doctor the direction of change.
Then write a few lines. When did you first see a change, and how fast did it move? Does anyone in the family share the pattern? What have you tried? Do you live with a chronic illness or take regular medicines? A doctor cannot weigh what you leave out, and a sentence added now costs less than a surprise later.
The pictures show the pattern but cannot supply the graft count. That number comes from the doctor after the donor zone is examined, along with a description of what is realistic, and it belongs in the contract.
Expect directness. Cancer, epilepsy, a pacemaker, diabetes mellitus, serious heart disease, pulmonary embolism, hepatitis B or C, HIV or AIDS, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, intolerance to anaesthetics and an age under 18 each call for a pause or a refusal, and a thin donor zone or shedding after illness or from hormones changes the advice. The operation is meant for androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, bald patches and a retreating front of the scalp. Hearing no, with a reason, marks a careful team.
Think about timing in your own calendar. The weeks after the single-day operation ask for patience with crusts, washing routines and headwear, so pick a moment when you can follow written instructions without improvising.
Medical aid in Zimbabwe and honest cost planning
A study of Zimbabwe's health financing, EQUINET Discussion Paper 82 from 2010, found that medical aid societies cover about 10 % of the population and that almost all principal beneficiaries are formally employed. Whether any particular society pays for a cosmetic procedure is a question to put to that society, in writing, before you choose a date.
Keep the answer with your other papers. If cover is refused or partial, it is better to know before a deposit is paid than afterwards. The clinic fixes the price of the operation in the contract after a free consultation and a graft count, so you will have a written figure to discuss with your society or your family. Ask the coordinator to put the agreed figure in the same message as the graft count, so that price and scope can be read together.
Pin the follow-up down on paper: dressings and healing checks, a care plan for the treated and donor areas, guidance on washing, sleep and headwear, a return-to-sport plan. Visits fall at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months; in the gaps you and your coordinator swap photographs. Shedding at 2–4 weeks is normal, new growth shows from 3–4 months and the final result is judged at 12–18 months.
Before agreeing to anything, jot down what a satisfying set of replies would look like and what would make you stop. Hold the real replies against that note, not against the mood of the day. A finished result takes a year or more, and a choice made calmly on paper is easier to hold through the quiet months in the middle.
Where can I check whether a doctor is registered in Zimbabwe?
The public register of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe shows name, status, qualification and specialty. Note the date you looked.
Does medical aid pay for a hair transplant?
A 2010 study reports that medical aid societies cover about 10 % of Zimbabweans. Ask your own society in writing whether cosmetic procedures are included.
What papers can I ask the clinic for?
Licence with its number, the legal name of whoever gives care, the doctors' diplomas and certificates, and the written contract.
Who counts the grafts?
The doctor does, once the donor zone has been examined; the figure then goes into the contract.
Is the first step free?
Yes. Pictures sent to a coordinator, the doctor's review and the consultation cost nothing and book nothing, and the coordinator team answers at any hour.
What if the doctor says a transplant would not help?
Ask which course would help instead, and have the explanation put in writing.
What does a practising certificate have to do with this?
A registered practitioner needs a valid practising certificate to practise, so ask for it to be confirmed in writing.
Can I ask for another doctor's opinion first?
Yes. Share the written proposal with anyone you trust and compare it row by row: method, grafts, treated area and operating doctor.
