two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant works beyond the scalp: same grafts from the back of the head, same FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, no incisions 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 surgeon draws your eyebrow shape at the initial consultation: you study references together and the design is built around your facial features. Hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also works where hairs have 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 regularly treats patients from other cities and countries, starting with an online consultation.
FUE is $2,200 (≈ £1,700), DHI is $2,500 (≈ £1,900), combined DHI+FUE is $2,700 (≈ £2,050). 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.
No — local anaesthesia keeps the whole procedure pain-free.
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 doctor calculates the exact number of grafts at a free consultation, based on your donor area.
Expect 0–10 days to heal, then normal shedding of transplanted hairs at 2–4 weeks. Growth begins around 3–4 months, density builds by 6–9 months, and the final look appears at 12–18 months.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.

Hair transplant for Leeds: method, start, timeline
People in Leeds usually ask how heavy the surgery is: FUE and DHI need no cuts and no stitches and run on local anaesthesia, and one day covers it. Graft survival is 98-100 %, with a price from $2,200 (≈ £1,700) fixed in the contract after a free graft count.
A resident of Leeds needs only a phone for the first step. The online consultation is free: the doctor looks at photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts. Contact is open 24/7, so the reply comes the same day.
Healing takes 0-10 days; at 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs shed, and that is normal; growth begins at 3-4 months, density builds by 6-9 and the final result settles at 12-18. Check-ups fall on months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, with photo tracking by a personal coordinator and a lifetime growth guarantee in the contract.
Hair Transplant in Leeds: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to GBP at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
What should I send to get a hair transplant quote?
Photos of the thinning areas and of the donor area at the back of the head in good light, your age, and whether you have had a transplant before. The doctor names the number of grafts and the price.
How long before an event should I have a hair transplant?
For the scalp to look healed, allow at least 10 days: healing takes 0–10 days. Transplanted hairs shed normally at 2–4 weeks, growth starts at 3–4 months and the final result shows at 12–18 months.
When can I get back to work in Leeds after a hair transplant?
The procedure takes one day and you go home the same day. Healing takes 0–10 days, and the follow-up dressings and healing check-ups are part of the price.
Can I book a hair transplant consultation for a specific date?
Yes. Send us the date you have in mind on WhatsApp or Telegram. The first consultation is free, and you can start it online with the photos and details you send; the clinic then confirms the nearest available dates for the consultation and the operation before you plan anything.
Can I get a hair transplant consultation without leaving Leeds?
Yes. The first consultation is free and starts online: send your details and photos on WhatsApp or Telegram, and the doctor reviews them and explains the options and the price.
Eight questions to settle before a transplant is booked
Leeds is a district of 811,953 people at the 2021 census (the district, not the wider urban area). The NHS puts it plainly: having a hair transplant is a big decision, so find out as much as you can first. A practical way to do that is to turn your doubts into questions and collect the answers in writing.
The NHS also suggests asking yourself why you want to change the way you look, and speaking to a professional about the procedure. A GP or a mental health professional might be a good place to start, but the NHS says you should book a consultation with the practitioner too. Talk to them about what you expect, because that conversation helps you check that the operation is right for you.
The NHS suggests putting these to the surgeon: what qualifications and experience do you have, how many hair transplants have you performed, how many of those had complications, which type would you recommend for me and why, and what follow-up should I expect if things go wrong. Add three of your own: who exactly will operate, what is written into the contract about the method, and what happens if I decide to stop after the consultation.
Notice how each question is answered, not only what is said. A clear reply that names a method and gives a reason is useful. A reply that moves straight to dates and deposits is a signal to slow down. The NHS also advises that you should not pay for any procedure until you have had a consultation to check it is right for you, and that a cooling-off period should be offered afterwards.
You can start from home. The first online consultation is free and books nothing: a coordinator asks for a phone number and for photographs of the areas where your hair has thinned, and a doctor reviews them and says whether a transplant would help. A coordinator answers round the clock on WhatsApp and Telegram, so a question that occurs at night does not have to wait for office hours.
Write the answers in a table with three columns: the question, what you were told and when, and what you received in writing. Two weeks later the table will tell you more than your impression of the conversation. If the same question gets two different answers from two members of staff, mark it and ask once more, in writing, who is right.
Papers worth holding before you trust a clinic
The NHS states that all independent clinics and hospitals providing cosmetic surgery in England must be registered with the CQC, and that you can check the registration or ask to see the clinic's certificate. The CQC website lets you search for a service by name and by location and publishes quality ratings on a four-point scale. For any clinic outside the English register, ask which authority issued its licence and ask for the number. Note the date you checked.
For the surgeon, the NHS hair transplant page says all doctors must be registered with the General Medical Council and hold a licence to practise, and points to the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery, where a surgeon may be listed as a full or affiliate hair transplant member. The NHS also notes that some surgeons hold the cosmetic surgery certificate of the Royal College of Surgeons, which means they have been assessed and meet an agreed national standard. These are separate checks.
The clinic's own wording is that you can check everything before you pay, including the medical licence and the diplomas and certificates of the doctors. Ask for the licence number, the name of the legal entity that provides the medical services and the names of the doctors who will see you. Keep copies.
Reserving a surgery date involves a deposit, paid by card at the clinic or online, and the terms are recorded in a medical services contract. Ask to read the contract in full before anything is paid, and ask what the sum includes. The NHS adds a caution about search listings and social media: some clinics pay to advertise, and influencers are usually paid too, so an eye-catching post is not evidence of quality.
The NHS also lists things to avoid when choosing a practitioner: paying for a procedure before a consultation, treatment vouchers sold online on group discount sites, group treatments or events involving alcohol, mobile services where procedures are done in private homes or hotels, and practitioners who only advertise on social media.
A short list of what to keep in one folder on your phone: the licence number, the legal entity, the contract, the list of inclusions, the doctor's name and the date you checked each register. If you ever need to ask a question six months later, the folder answers half of it before you write.
Two recommendations on the table: how to compare them
If you receive two opinions that do not match, one suggesting the strip method and another suggesting individual grafts, it helps to know what each means. The NHS describes both: in the strip method a thin band of skin with hair is removed from the back of the head and divided into grafts of one to four hairs, leaving a scar that is not visible unless the hair is very short; in follicular unit extraction hairs are removed one by one and leave many tiny scars that are not very noticeable.
The clinic works with FUE, with DHI and with a combination of the two. In FUE the grafts are extracted with forceps, without incisions or stitches. In DHI a Choi implanter pen places each graft directly. In the combined protocol FUE does the extraction and DHI the implantation. The averages for survival and trauma are a guide only, and the doctor sets out your exact figures at the consultation.
When two proposals disagree, write them side by side with the same headings: method, who extracts, who implants, how many grafts, which area, what is included, what is said about follow-up. Gaps are usually easier to see on one sheet than in memory. Then send the sheet back to each doctor and ask them to comment on the other's proposal.
A sound answer explains the reason for a method in terms of your own scalp: the donor zone, the area to be covered, the expected density. Be wary of an answer that is only a slogan. If a doctor will not commit the graft count and the method to paper, treat that as an answer in itself.
A useful test is to ask each doctor to explain, in two sentences, why the other method would be worse for you. Also ask who decides the shape of the frontal area, and whether you will see it drawn on your head before anything is done.
Hearing a polite no
A consultation can end with the sentence that surgery is not for you, and that outcome saves money and a procedure that would not help. The NHS says a transplant is suitable for people with permanent baldness that runs in families. The clinic lists androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, bald areas and a receding frontal area as good reasons to go ahead.
Several situations point the other way. The written contraindications range from trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder to cancer, being under 18, epilepsy, serious heart conditions, diabetes, a pacemaker, hepatitis and HIV. Low hair density, genetic traits of hair growth and shedding after illness or hormonal imbalance can also mean surgery is not the answer. The complete list is longer, so read it in full rather than from a summary.
Ask the clinic to send the whole list in writing and to mark which items, if any, apply to you. Then ask a question that is easy to forget: what would you advise if I decided not to operate? The NHS also warns that hair may continue to thin around a transplanted area, which is a fair thing to raise with the doctor at the start rather than in year two.
The operation is a single day under local anaesthesia, and you go home afterwards. The clinic outlines which tests are needed beforehand, so ask for that list early and keep it with your other papers.
A photo diary for the first eighteen months
Memory is a poor witness to slow change. The clinic's timetable has five stages, from healing in the first 0 to 10 days, through shedding at 2 to 4 weeks, to regrowth at 3 to 4 months, density at 6 to 9 months and a final result at 12 to 18 months. Ask for it as a printed sheet and tick off each stage as it arrives, so the progress is yours and not a matter of mood.
Follow-up checks are set at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Put them in your calendar on the day of surgery. Before each one, photograph the same areas in the same light: the top, the front, the sides and the back. Date every file, send the set to your coordinator and write beside it what you were told. The clinic's plan is that you talk to your own coordinator and send photos as things change.
A diary like this protects you from two kinds of worry. Around weeks two to four, when the transplanted hairs are shedding, it reminds you that this is a normal stage and the follicles stay in place. Later, when regrowth is slow to show, it shows the real progress. It also gives the doctor something concrete to examine at each check.
The care plan for the transplanted and donor areas, the guidance on washing, sleep and headwear, and the plan for returning to sport are part of the included support. Ask for them in writing before the day of surgery and keep them next to the photographs.
Write down your own questions for each check as they occur: how long to keep out of the pool, when to colour or cut the hair, whether a patch is thinner than it should be. Take them as a numbered list.
How can I compare two quotes for a transplant?
Put them on one sheet under the same headings: method, who extracts and implants, graft count, area, inclusions and follow-up. Anything missing from one quote is a question for that clinic.
Which registers can I look at for a clinic in England?
The CQC register for the clinic and the General Medical Council online register for the doctor. The NHS also points to the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery for hair transplant surgeons.
Is a cooling-off period normal?
The NHS says you should be offered one after any consultation and that you can walk away if you are not comfortable. Use it, and read the contract again with fresh eyes.
Does the NHS provide hair transplants?
No. The NHS says a transplant is not available because it counts as cosmetic surgery.
What should my first set of photographs include?
The areas where your hair has thinned, from the top, the front, the sides and the back, plus a short note on when the thinning began.
Is it a complication if the transplanted hairs fall out in the first weeks?
The clinic describes shedding at 2 to 4 weeks as a normal stage: the hairs fall out while the follicles stay in place. Mention it to your coordinator if you are unsure.
What if one doctor advises against surgery?
That is a legitimate result of a consultation. Ask for the reasons in writing, and ask what the doctor would advise instead.
Can I take someone with me to the consultation?
Ask your coordinator whether a person you trust can join the online consultation. Agree beforehand who will take notes, so that the answers are written down while they are given.
