two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
Not only on the scalp: the same grafts from the back of the head, the same 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 eyebrow shape is drawn by the surgeon at the initial consultation; references are looked through together and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural, and it helps where plucking stopped hair growth.
First the doctor assesses your donor area, counts the grafts and shows the achievable result. The cost is quoted 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 tell 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, this is possible. An online consultation is offered so patients from other cities and countries can plan ahead.
FUE is $2,200 (≈ R37,000), DHI is $2,500 (≈ R42,000), combined DHI+FUE is $2,700 (≈ R45,500). A free consultation with a graft count gives you the exact, contract-fixed price.
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.
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so it's painless.
In FUE, grafts are harvested with a tweezer, no cuts or stitches involved. In DHI, a Choi pen implants grafts without opening channels first. The combined method pairs FUE harvesting with DHI implantation.
A doctor determines the graft number at a free consultation, looking at your donor area's capacity.
First comes 0–10 days of healing, then shedding at 2–4 weeks (a normal stage). Growth starts at 3–4 months, density is clear by 6–9 months, and the final outcome shows at 12–18 months.
A contract-backed, lifetime guarantee of hair growth comes with every procedure.
