Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is not only for the scalp. Same grafts from the back of the head, same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, free of cuts or stitches
Grafts are taken from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of roughly 1 mm — no scars are left. You and the doctor discuss the shape before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life: the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
Shape first, hairs second: at the first consultation the surgeon draws the brow line, reference photos are reviewed with you, and your facial proportions define the line. Each hair sits at the growth angle, which is why the brows look genuine. It also suits growth lost to long years of plucking.

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!

Things people ask
We cover 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.
Certainly. The clinic takes on patients from different cities and different countries, and a doctor can advise you online beforehand.
The base prices are $2,200 (≈ €2,000) (FUE), $2,500 (≈ €2,250) (DHI) and $2,700 (≈ €2,450) (combined). The precise cost is determined at a free consultation and graft count, then fixed in your 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.
Not at all painful — local anaesthesia works for the full session.
FUE relies on tweezer harvesting with no incisions or stitches. DHI relies on Choi-pen implantation without channels. The combined DHI+FUE approach harvests by FUE and implants by DHI.
The exact quantity is defined during the free consultation, after the doctor studies the donor area.
Give the scalp 0–10 days. The 2–4 week shed of transplanted hairs is a normal phase. Growth is well started at 3–4 months, density is strong at 6–9 months, and 12–18 months closes the process.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.
It can all be checked before you pay

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: what the procedure gives and how it starts
Both FUE and DHI are open to a patient in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: neither leaves a surgical cut, neither requires stitches, both are carried out under local anaesthesia, and both wrap up in one day instead of dragging on.
If you are in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the first step is a free online consultation: photographs of the thinning area go to the doctor, who looks at them and counts the grafts. Daily contact is open 24/7 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria time, so nothing depends on a lucky moment.
Recovery is short: 0-10 days. The transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks, a normal step, growth begins at 3-4 months, density fills by 6-9 and the final result stands at 12-18. Check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photo tracking with a personal coordinator, growth guaranteed for life.

2,821 hours of sun a year and a scalp that is healing
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria lies in the north-east of Gran Canaria, in the Atlantic Ocean. Its climate normals for 1981-2010 show an annual mean daytime maximum of 24.2 °C and a night minimum of 18.0 °C. August is the warmest month, with a maximum of 27.5 °C and a minimum of 21.6 °C. January is the coolest, at 20.8 °C and 15.0 °C. There is no real cold season, so for a person planning a hair transplant the main variable is light rather than frost.
The city records about 2,821 hours of sun a year: 308 hours in July and 179 in December. That gap is the first thing to think about when you choose a date. In the first 0-10 days after FUE or DHI the crusts fall away, the swelling subsides and the area slowly recovers. Skin in that condition should not spend long hours in direct summer light without a plan.
The care plan from City Medical Centre includes advice on washing your hair, on sleep and on headwear. The doctor will go through it with you during the consultation and match it to your own routine: how much of your day is spent outdoors, whether you commute on foot, whether your work is under open sky. A person who sits in an office all day needs a different plan from someone who works on a terrace or a building site.
If the area to be treated is the frontal edge of the hair or the crown, it is also the part of the head that catches the most light. Thinning hair offers less natural cover, and the skin there has usually been exposed for years. Mention this in the first message to the coordinator, along with your photos. It helps the doctor to give practical advice rather than a general list.
Trade winds, 66 % humidity and the rhythm of washing
The trade winds bring cool, humid air to the island. Average relative humidity in Las Palmas is 66 %. Annual precipitation is small, about 151 mm spread over 22 days. December is the wettest month, with 31 mm over 4.5 days, while from June to August there is practically no rain at all, and July records 0 mm.
For a patient this means two different kinds of outdoor days. In summer you deal mostly with sun and dry warmth. In winter you deal with a damp breeze and the occasional shower. Neither is a medical problem in itself, but both raise practical questions: what to put on your head when you leave the house, and how that covering behaves when it gets wet or when the wind picks up.
The service includes advice on headwear, washing and sleep, and a plan for returning to sport and hair care. That plan is not a fixed script. The doctor adapts it to the person, so tell the coordinator whether you walk along the seafront every morning, cycle, or spend most of your time indoors. Coordinators answer on WhatsApp and Telegram round the clock, so a question about a windy day or a sudden shower does not have to wait for the next scheduled check.
One more point on humidity. It does not change the sequence in which the transplanted hair behaves. Shedding of the transplanted hairs at 2-4 weeks is a normal stage: only the hairs shed, and the follicles stay in place. A reader who sees this in a mirror on a damp winter morning should recognise it as part of the process, not as a failure.
Counting the months: a calendar built around the Canarian year
The stages of growth after a transplant are fixed in the clinic's own timeline. For 0-10 days the area heals. From 2 to 4 weeks the transplanted hairs shed. At 3-4 months the first growth appears. At 6-9 months density shows and the main volume and contour become visible. The end result arrives 12-18 months after the operation. Follow-up visits are held at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Laying these stages over the local calendar makes it easier to choose a date.
Take an example with an operation in the middle of November 2026. The healing days fall in the second half of November, and the shedding stage runs into December and early January. The first growth then arrives around February and March 2027, which is when the city holds its Carnival. The main street procession gathers about 200,000 people along a 6 km route, so anyone who dislikes crowds, loud music and dense queues may prefer to plan their days around it.
Density shows from roughly May to August 2027 on this timeline, a period that includes the Fiestas de San Juan in June, the anniversary of the city's foundation. The end result then comes between about November 2027 and May 2028. Someone who wants to look their best at a family event in summer 2027 should know that the density visible then is a stage, not the final picture.
Now an example with a later date. An operation in late February 2027, after the Carnival, would put the first growth around June and July 2027 and the end result roughly between February and August 2028. It is not a better or a worse plan, just a different arrangement of the same months. If a wedding, a graduation or an important work period is coming up, tell the coordinator, and the doctor will help to fit the date around it.
Because the final density takes 12-18 months, the choice of month matters less than it seems. What matters more is that you do not expect a finished look at the 3-4 month mark. People who see photos of cases at 8-12 months should remember that the clinic shows each case as a real patient, and that individual results depend on the area, the number of grafts and the person.
Sea water, Las Canteras and the first months
Water is part of everyday life in this city. Playa de Las Canteras runs for 3,100 m and is the largest beach in Las Palmas. Las Alcaravaneras is a little over 800 m and La Laja about 1,200 m. The sea has an annual mean temperature of 21 °C, with a low of 19.1 °C in February-March and a high of 23.4 °C in September-October. Warm water and a long shoreline make swimming and surfing an easy habit to keep all year.
That is exactly why it is worth raising the question before the operation, not after it. The plan for returning to sport and hair care is part of the service, and the doctor will explain at what point swimming in the sea or a pool fits into it. We do not quote a number of days here, because the answer depends on the method, the area and how the skin is healing.
A practical approach is to write down your regular water activities and give the list to the coordinator. Include how often you swim, whether you dive or only wade, and whether you use a pool with chlorine. The same goes for team sports and gym sessions. A clear picture helps the doctor to build a plan you can really follow.
Water temperature has no effect on the stages of growth, which depend on the follicles and not on the season. Its only role in planning is that it makes the beach attractive from February to October alike, so there is no quiet period in which the question would simply not come up.
Public waiting lists and why they matter for planning
Spain's national health system sets out its common portfolio of services in Royal Decree 1030/2006. Article 5.4.a.4 says that techniques whose purpose is mere aesthetic or cosmetic improvement are not funded. Procedures with an aesthetic purpose unrelated to an accident, an illness or a congenital malformation are excluded from specialised care. Whether a particular situation falls inside or outside that line is a question for the patient and the public health contact, and we do not decide it here.
The waiting figures help to explain why some people look for a private route at all. On 31 December 2025 Plastic Surgery had the longest average wait in the national system: 269 days. Across all specialities the average surgical wait was 121 days, and 21.6 % of patients waited more than six months. In the Canary Islands the average was 106 days, with 32,131 patients in structural surgical waiting.
These are averages for the public system, not a forecast for any individual. A person who uses them to plan should still ask what applies in their case. At City Medical Centre the first online consultation is free and carries no obligation: you send photos on WhatsApp or Telegram, the doctor assesses them, and you hear the price and the plan before anything is booked.
The service does not suit everyone. Conditions such as trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, cancer, epilepsy, serious heart conditions, diabetes mellitus, a pacemaker, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or C, pulmonary embolism and age under 18 are listed as contraindications. Patchy alopecia and hair loss from illness or hormonal imbalance are also listed among the cases where a transplant does not apply. If your case can be solved without an operation, the doctor will say so at the consultation.
Is summer in Las Palmas a bad time to plan a hair transplant?
Nothing in the clinic's timeline makes summer unsuitable. July is the sunniest month, with 308 hours, and there is practically no rain from June to August. What changes is the care plan, because more light on healing skin means more attention to headwear. The doctor will discuss the date and the advice on headwear during the consultation, and the coordinator can answer follow-up questions on WhatsApp or Telegram at any hour.
Which month would suit me if I want the main density before summer 2027?
The clinic's timeline puts density at 6-9 months after the operation, and the end result at 12-18 months. An operation in the middle of November 2026 would show growing density from about May to August 2027, with the end result between about November 2027 and May 2028. Treat it as an example, not a promise. The exact plan depends on the area, the method and your own healing.
Will the damp trade-wind air change how the grafts grow?
The clinic's stages do not depend on the weather: heal for 0-10 days, shedding at 2-4 weeks, first growth at 3-4 months, density at 6-9 months and the end result at 12-18 months. The local air, with its average humidity of 66 %, mainly affects everyday habits, such as what you wear on your head on a windy or wet day. Ask the doctor about this at the consultation.
Do I have to be in the city for the first consultation?
No. The first consultation is held online. You send photos by WhatsApp or Telegram, receive a free doctor assessment and the price, and confirm the plan and dates before anything is booked. Coordinators reply within 15 minutes and are available round the clock, so you can ask questions at any hour from home in Las Palmas.
I plan to take part in the Carnival in February. How should I time the operation?
The Carnival takes place every February, and its main procession draws about 200,000 people along 6 km. Count backwards from the date with the clinic's stages in mind: 0-10 days of healing, shedding at 2-4 weeks. The doctor can then advise which dates leave you the most comfortable margin for crowds, heat from costumes and headwear. Share the exact dates with the coordinator.
When can I go back to the beach at Las Canteras?
The plan for returning to sport and hair care is part of the service, and the doctor will name the right moment for sea or pool water. We do not give a general number of days, because it depends on the method and your healing. The sea averages 21 °C through the year, so it is tempting at almost any time, which is why the question is better settled before the operation.
Does the public health system cover a hair transplant?
The national common portfolio does not fund techniques for mere aesthetic or cosmetic improvement, and procedures with an aesthetic purpose unrelated to an accident, an illness or a congenital malformation are excluded from specialised care. For your own situation, ask your public health contact. The free consultation with the clinic's doctor will tell you whether a transplant is suitable for you at all.
