two other spots
Beard and eyebrow transplants
It is not only about the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — just the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE, no incisions and no stitches
The grafts are taken from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, leaving no scars. Before the operation the doctor discusses the shape with you, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life: the beard is trimmed and styled as usual.
At the initial consultation the surgeon draws the eyebrow shape: you and the surgeon look through references, 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 has stopped growth.
The doctor assesses what the donor zone holds, counts the grafts and explains the outcome you can expect. You are told the cost at the consultation and it goes into the contract.

3
The run-up to your operation day
This step covers the tests needed before the procedure, with the clinic providing the full list and guidance for each one.
4
Local anaesthetic – a pain-free session
The operation is painless throughout, thanks to local anaesthesia given at this stage.
5
Building up the store of grafts to place
At this stage, grafts are taken from the donor area — back of the head or temples — through a stitch-free method.
6
Rebuilding the density on the bare scalp
This step involves the surgeons implanting the grafts into the balding area.
7
Once the swelling and the scabs have gone
The final step is recovery, backed by the clinic's supplies and full instructions for fast healing.
8
0-10 days — Settling
Crusts fall off, the swelling dies away, the skin repairs itself

6-9 months — Visibly thicker
The hair becomes thicker, the main volume and outline are visible

Final density and a natural hairline take shape
At the consultation the doctor will name how many grafts you personally need, and explain how the transplant will go
Free, before the operation, free of any commitment.

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!

Typical queries
We share 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 regularly treats patients from other cities and countries, starting with an online consultation.
Prices start at $2,200 (≈ PLN 8,600) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ PLN 9,800) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ PLN 11,000) for the combined method. Your final price is set after a free graft count and locked into 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 — local anaesthesia keeps the whole procedure pain-free.
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.
At the free consultation, the doctor counts the grafts you need according to your donor area.
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.
A contract-backed, lifetime guarantee of hair growth comes with every procedure.

Krakow: why this operation is so straightforward
What a resident of Krakow gets is a one-day procedure: FUE and DHI without cuts and without stitches, under local anaesthesia. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price starting at $2,200 (≈ PLN 8,600) is fixed in the contract after a free count of the grafts.
Begin with a photo, not with paperwork, if you are in Krakow: the free online consultation gives the doctor a view of the thinning area and a graft count. The clinic is in touch 24/7, so the answer is never delayed for long.
Healing takes 0-10 days. At 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs shed, which is normal, briefly disappointing and soon over. Growth restarts at 3-4 months and does not stop there.
Hair Transplant in Krakow: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to PLN at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
Looking a surgeon up in Poland's physicians' register
Doctors in Poland belong to the Naczelna Izba Lekarska, the national medical chamber, a professional self-governing body. On its site it keeps the Central Register of Physicians and Dentists, a search tool where anyone can look up a doctor's entry. The register carries its own disclaimer: it is not a state register, it is built and maintained by the chamber. The chamber also publishes a Register of Penalized Doctors containing the final rulings of medical courts.
Turn that into a three-step routine. Ask the clinic for the full name and declared specialisation of the surgeon assigned to you. Look the name up. Then compare what the register shows with the diplomas and certificates the clinic is willing to show before payment. Write the date of your search in your notes.
Remember what the tool answers: who is registered. It does not answer whether the method suits your scalp, and for that you rely on the consultation.
If the surgeon named in the contract is not the person you spoke to, ask why. The clinic states that the doctor at the consultation is the doctor in the operating room, and you can ask for that sentence in writing.
Do the lookup on a calm evening and at your own desk, not in the middle of a phone call. Search by surname and given name, and be ready for common names to return several entries; the specialty and the place of practice help to tell the right person from a namesake. If you cannot tell, ask the coordinator for a detail that settles it, such as the doctor's specialty as printed on the diploma.
Keep the screenshot. A dated picture of the entry, filed beside the clinic's reply, takes ten seconds and gives you something solid to refer to if a question ever arises about who was supposed to perform the work.
Setting quotations side by side without guessing
Krakow had 816,614 residents on 31 December 2025 and covers 326.8 square kilometres. With that many options nearby, you may well write to more than one clinic, and fairness comes from asking each for the same set of papers: the medical licence, the legal entity delivering care, the credentials of every doctor involved, and a draft of the contract for medical services.
Add to the list the content of the post-operative programme, which in this clinic means dressings and healing visits, a plan for the grafted and donor zones, tips on washing, sleeping and headwear, and a return-to-sport and haircare plan. Whatever a competing clinic includes, ask for it in the same plain terms.
Draw a table. Rows: method, count of grafts, area to be covered, operating doctor. Columns: one per clinic. Fill each cell from written replies only. An empty cell is a question for tomorrow, and a quote without a method or count is not yet an offer.
Next to the table put two short lists in your own handwriting: what would make you say yes, and what would make you say no. Reread them when the answers come in, so that the decision follows your criteria and not the mood of that particular evening.
The date is reserved by a deposit, paid by card at the clinic or online, with terms in the contract. Ask in advance how the contract treats a postponement.
A further courtesy to yourself is to send the clinics your questions as a numbered list. Numbered questions get numbered answers, and an answer that skips number three is easy to spot. Number the clinic's reply the same way, so the two lists line up.
Rehearsing the months after surgery, week by week
Hair grows on its own schedule, and the first months are the ones that unsettle people, so it is better to read the sequence in advance. The clinic describes a first stage of ten days in which crusts come off and swelling goes down, then a stretch from week 2 to week 4 in which the new hairs fall out, a normal and expected phase that leaves the follicles where they are.
A calendar that shows nothing at the end of month two is therefore behaving as intended. First new growth is expected at 3 to 4 months, a visible gain in thickness between 6 and 9 months, and the final density with a natural edge between 12 and 18 months.
Five check-ups are fixed, at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Before each, take pictures of the same zones in the same light and send them to the personal coordinator, who is with you from the first enquiry through recovery.
The operation is one day under local anaesthesia, and you leave the same day. Ask for the list of required tests as soon as you sign, with the instructions for each.
Start a small diary: the date, one photograph, one sentence about how the scalp feels. If a worry appears in month five, a diary gives the coordinator concrete material to answer, and gives you evidence that things are moving at the pace described.
Questions a first online review can settle
A transplant is clearly useful in androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, in bald areas and where the front of the scalp has receded, and the doctor will tell you straight away if it would not help you. Several other situations call for caution: a high front margin, a donor zone with low density, inherited growth traits, damage from a burn or injury, shedding after illness or caused by hormones, and patchy alopecia.
The clinic also keeps a list of medical contraindications, which includes psychiatric diagnoses connected with hair pulling and body image, cancer, epilepsy, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, a pacemaker, certain infections, pulmonary embolism, intolerance to anaesthetics and being under 18. Mention anything of this kind in your first message; it is routine for the doctor and saves time.
For the review itself, a phone number and photographs are sufficient. Daylight, a plain wall, no flash. Show the crown, front, temples and back, and add one sharp shot of the donor zone. Under them write when the thinning began and whether relatives share it.
Add the goal in one sentence: a fuller front, a covered crown, a denser beard or stronger eyebrows. The free consultation promises a reply within 15 minutes, and the team can be reached on WhatsApp or Telegram at any hour. The review books nothing, so asking does not tie you to a date.
Technique choices: what to ask once the doctor has seen your photographs
Three techniques are on offer. In FUE the doctor extracts follicular units with forceps and no incisions are made. In DHI a Choi pen places each unit directly, so channels are not prepared first. The combined protocol uses FUE to take and DHI to place, and is used for densification in androgenetic alopecia.
For FUE the clinic cites graft survival of 98 to 100 per cent and notes that figures on survival and trauma are method averages given for guidance, depending on the transplant area and the individual; the doctor spells them out at the consultation.
Ask which technique the doctor prefers for you, and what in your donor zone leads there. The doctor studies the donor zone, arrives at a graft count and explains what is realistic. Insist that the count be written into the contract, since a figure that lives only in conversation cannot be checked against what you later receive.
For a beard the grafts come from the back of the head and pass through micro-punctures of about one millimetre; for eyebrows the surgeon draws the line first and goes through reference pictures with you.
Write the technique question as a pair. Which method do you recommend, and why that one for my pattern of loss? Then which method would you advise against for me, and why? The second half often reveals more than the first, because a doctor who can explain a rejection has actually looked at your photographs.
Finally, ask about the order of events on the day itself, from arrival to departure, and about who is present at each stage. The answer should match the written plan you received at the consultation, and any difference is worth a question before the deposit.
