The scalp is not the only area. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the zone changes.

Beard transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

A surgeon marking the beard line before a transplant at City Medical Centre

Grafts are taken from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm — no scars are left. The doctor and you choose the shape before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life, and the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

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.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes — patients from other cities and countries are welcome, and you can start with a free online consultation.

Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ ₦3,350,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ ₦3,600,000) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.

The operation is contained within one day, and home follows.

It's a painless procedure, carried out under local anaesthesia.

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.

At the free consultation, the doctor counts the grafts you need according to your donor area.

The skin needs 0–10 days. At 2–4 weeks transplanted hairs are lost, and this is expected rather than alarming. Growth returns at 3–4 months, density reads clearly by 6–9 months, with the finish at 12–18 months.

Hair growth is covered by a lifetime guarantee, fixed in the signed contract.

Minna: from the first question to new growth

A resident of Minna can plan around a single day: FUE and DHI leave no cuts and no stitches and are done under local anaesthesia. Graft survival stands at 98-100 %, while a price from $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000) is fixed in the contract after the free counting of grafts.

It costs nothing to ask when you are in Minna. Send photos of the area in a message, the doctor examines them online and tells you if a transplant helps. The clinic is on the line 24/7.

Healing runs for 0-10 days and needs no heroics. A shedding of the transplanted hairs arrives at 2-4 weeks and is completely normal, however unsettling it may look in the mirror. Growth gets under way at 3-4 months.

Hair Transplant in Minna: price and what is included

Patient reviews

What patients write after this operation. Reviews are translated from the original language.

Andrey M.

I had the operation a month ago. Before and after surgery they were always in touch and helped with questions about my tests. The operation itself went wonderfully, the staff are polite and masters of their craft, you feel you are in safe hands. I am recovering now, and they answer all my questions. I am happy and I recommend them!

DHI hair transplant

Pavel Sinitsyn

The best clinic of all the ones I was choosing from. No regrets at all! The result is simply amazing, I am thrilled. I recommend it to everyone: these people do great work and make people happy. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone. Roman, the head of the clinic, is the best: he was personally in touch with me and looked after my recovery. Thank you for making my dream come true.

FUE hair transplant

Maria Akopyan

I thought about an eyebrow transplant for a long time and finally went for it. At first I was afraid the result would look unnatural, but when I saw my new eyebrows I was delighted! They came out full and in harmony with my face. I can hardly believe that now I just wash my face and go, I have never felt so free. For anyone tired of constant make-up, a transplant is a real lifesaver!

Eyebrow transplant (FUE)

Alexander M.

I really wanted a thick beard, but I had problems with it. I tried every home remedy and minoxidil, and nothing helped. After a long search for the best clinic I settled on this one. Thank you so much for the service, I liked everything and now I am happy! I had the beard transplant 10 months ago and I am very pleased with the result. By the way, the music in the clinic was great, as far as I remember. A friend of mine has already come to you for a transplant on my advice and was also happy with the result. I wish you every success!

Beard transplant (FUE)

Vladimir Z.

I went to the clinic to see a trichologist and had a hair transplant. I really liked the doctor's approach, and all the recommendations helped. I want to point out that nobody tries to sell you extra services: they tell you things as they are, and if some treatment is not needed, they do not push it. Cosy and clean.

DHI hair transplant

Artem Popov

This may sound obvious, but a head of hair really changes everything in your life. You feel much more confident and go through life like a winner. And it is all thanks to the doctor at this clinic and to the staff who take care of their patients. Many thanks to the clinic for a happy life with new hair, for the comfortable conditions and for the professionalism during the hair transplant.

FUE hair transplant

All patient reviews

Hair transplant planning for patients in Minna

Minna is the capital of Niger State, in the North Central region of Nigeria, and its original major ethnic groups are the Gbagyi, Nupe and Hausa peoples. Many people here ask about hair restoration with the same practical questions: how natural will it look, how long until I can show my head in public, and how will the heat and dust affect the first weeks?

City Medical Centre works with patients from Minna through a free online consultation. You send photos, describe your history and goals, and a coordinator answers you on Telegram or Telegram. Coordinators are available 24/7, so you can write after work, in the evening or early in the morning, whichever suits your day in Minna.

This text explains how FUE and DHI planning fits the realities of life in Minna: the climate, work, family events, food and the rhythm of the year. It gives general information and does not replace a personal assessment by the surgeon.

Climate in Minna and what it means for recovery

Minna has a Middle Belt tropical savanna climate with two seasons: an arid, dusty dry season dominated by the harmattan from November to April, and a humid wet season from May to October. Temperatures are hot to sweltering for most of the year. In the height of the wet season the air is merely very warm, yet the humidity can feel just as uncomfortable as the hotter dry season.

In the dry months the main concern is dust. Fine harmattan dust settles on the scalp, and in the first days after surgery the treated area must be kept clean exactly as the surgeon instructs. Avoid dusty places, do not scratch or rub the area, and protect the head with a clean, loose covering only if the doctor allows it.

In the wet months the issues are sweat, humidity and sudden rain. Heavy perspiration under a cap or a tight hat can irritate the skin and slow comfortable healing. Plan to spend the early days indoors in a ventilated room, away from crowded transport and strong midday sun.

Direct sun is a concern in both seasons. Fresh grafted skin is sensitive, so strong sun on the scalp should be avoided during the early recovery period, and the surgeon will explain when sun protection and normal outdoor activity can resume.

Choosing the season for the operation

There is no perfect month in Minna, only a better fit with your own schedule. The dry season brings dust, so a patient who chooses it should be strict about cleanliness and staying indoors during the first days. The wet season brings humidity and sweat, so a patient who chooses it should plan for ventilation and avoid heavy exertion.

Think about the whole recovery timeline rather than the day of surgery. Healing takes 0–10 days, normal shedding of transplanted hair happens at 2–4 weeks, new growth starts at 3–4 months, real density arrives at 6–9 months, and the final result settles at 12–18 months. Pick a start date that leaves the first weeks calm and free of major public events.

Ask the coordinator to help you match the operation date with your calendar: work deadlines, family gatherings, school terms and any period when you cannot avoid dust or long days in the sun.

Work, study and daily life in Minna

Minna's economy combines agriculture, with cotton, guinea corn, maize, ginger and extensively grown yam, together with cattle trading, brewing, shea nut processing and gold mining. It also has manufacturers of consumer goods and traditional crafts such as leather work and metalworking.

This matters for recovery. People who work outdoors in farming, trading or on sites are exposed to sun, dust and sweat, and they should discuss with the surgeon how long to stay away from such conditions. People in offices, classrooms or shops usually find it easier to manage the first days at home and return when the doctor advises.

Metalworkers and others who deal with dust, smoke or heat should be especially careful about when they go back to the workshop. Students should think about exams and class photos, and plan the operation so the first weeks do not clash with them.

Do not decide the return date alone. Describe your daily routine to the coordinator and the surgeon, and agree on a realistic plan for work, study and routine tasks.

Sport, family events and food in Minna

Sport and heavy physical effort cause sweating and raise strain on the scalp, so return to the pitch, the gym or hard labour only when the surgeon allows it. Ask separately about football, running, swimming and pools, because each has its own rules and its own timing.

Family events, weddings and religious gatherings matter in Minna's social life. Large crowds, dust, heat and head coverings are a lot to handle during early healing. Plan the operation so that important events fall after the shedding stage, or discuss with the surgeon how to attend one safely.

Food culture in Minna is built around local staples such as yam, maize and guinea corn. Eating a balanced diet and drinking enough water supports general recovery. Follow the doctor's advice about alcohol and smoking, and ask if any of your habits should change before and after surgery.

How the online consultation works from Minna

You do not need to leave Minna for the first step. Contact the coordinators on Telegram or Telegram and send clear photos of the front, top, crown and back of the head, plus photos of the beard if you want a beard transplant. Describe how long hair loss has been going on, your family history and any health conditions or medicines.

The doctor evaluates the donor area and discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. You agree on the plan, the technique (FUE or DHI) and the stages of preparation. A coordinator will be on the phone 24/7.

Our support does not stop after the operation: we stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later, with check-ups at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12. You can send photos from Minna and get answers from the team.

How the procedure works

Grafts are taken from the back of the head, the donor area, and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account.

Transplanted hair grows for life: trim and style the beard as usual. This is useful for men in Minna who care about the look of a well-kept beard in daily and festive life.

A patient described the result this way: from about the 4th month active, even growth began, the transplanted hair took very well, the beard looks as natural as possible and no bald patches are left. Each case is individual, but this shows how the timeline feels in real life.

Planning around Minna's roads, rail links and the Abuja connection

Minna is connected to neighbouring cities by road, and Abuja, the capital of the country, is only 150 km away. It is also linked by railroad to Kano in the north and to Ibadan and Lagos in the south. For a patient this means that many people in Minna have relatives, colleagues and friends in several other cities, and news of a changed look travels fast within these circles.

Because the first consultation is online, you can prepare everything at home in Minna before any decision. Send your photos, talk through your questions with a coordinator, and take time to discuss the plan with your family. Nothing has to be settled in one evening, and the team is reachable 24/7 if a new question comes to you later.

During the early recovery, avoid crowded buses, dusty roads and long hours in the sun. If your work or family life normally involves frequent movement between towns, tell the coordinator, so the surgeon can advise how to arrange the first weeks in a calm and clean setting.

Questions people in Minna often ask before deciding

A common question is whether the result will look natural to relatives and colleagues who see you every day. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account, and this is the moment to explain what you want: a softer frontal hair line, more density on top, or a fuller beard.

Another question is about the donor area. Grafts are taken from the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over. Ask the surgeon to show on your own photos how much donor hair is realistically available for your goals.

Many people also ask what to tell their workplace or friends. This is a personal choice. Some patients simply say they are resting for a few days, then return to normal life once the surgeon confirms that the early healing stage is over.

Health clinics in Minna and follow-up care

Minna has many primary health clinics, and the General Hospital serves as the main general health care facility. For ordinary health matters such as blood pressure, diabetes or infections, it is sensible to keep your regular local care in order before any operation.

Bring up every ongoing condition with the surgeon during the online consultation. Unstable chronic illness or an active scalp problem may require postponing the operation, and your local medical history helps the doctor judge this properly.

After the operation, the centre stays with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later, with check-ups at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12. Photograph your scalp in the same light and from the same angles each time, so progress can be compared clearly from Minna.

Candidates, contraindications and questions for the surgeon

Good candidates have enough healthy hair in the donor area and realistic expectations. Some general health conditions, active scalp disease or unstable chronic illness may require postponing or rejecting the operation. Tell the team honestly about your medicines, allergies and past surgeries.

Useful questions to ask: which technique suits me, FUE or DHI? How will the hair line fit my face? How should I protect the scalp from dust and sun in Minna? When can I go back to work and sport? What do I do if I see shedding at 2–4 weeks? How are check-ups at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 organised?

Expect patience. Shedding at 2–4 weeks is expected, and hair comes back at 3–4 months, looks visibly thicker at 6–9 months, and settles at 12–18 months.

Can I have the first consultation from Minna?

Yes. The consultation is free and online. Write to the coordinators on Telegram or Telegram, send photos and describe your goals, and they will guide you through the next steps.

When are coordinators available?

Coordinators are available 24/7, so you can write at any time of day or night.

Does the dusty harmattan season affect recovery?

Dust can irritate fresh grafted skin. From November to April, keep the area clean as the surgeon instructs, avoid dusty places in the early days and do not touch or scratch the scalp.

Is the rainy season a bad time for the operation?

Not necessarily. From May to October the main issue is humidity and sweat, so plan to rest in a ventilated room and avoid heavy exertion at first.

Will the transplanted hair fall out?

Yes, normal shedding of transplanted hair occurs at 2–4 weeks. New growth starts at 3–4 months.

When will I see the result?

Hair comes back at 3–4 months, looks visibly thicker at 6–9 months, and the settled look comes at 12–18 months.

How long is the healing period?

Healing takes 0–10 days. Follow the surgeon's instructions on cleanliness, sun and activity during this time.

Will there be scars in the donor area?

Grafts are taken from the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over.

Will I be supported after the operation?

Yes. We stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later, with check-ups at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12.

Can I trim my beard after a beard transplant?

Transplanted hair grows for life, so trim and style the beard as usual.

Can I plan the operation around farming or trading work in Minna?

Yes. Describe your daily routine to the coordinator. People who work outdoors are exposed to sun, dust and sweat, so the surgeon will advise how long to stay away from such conditions.

Do I need to arrange local care before the operation?

Tell the surgeon about all ongoing conditions and medicines. If you have a chronic illness, make sure it is stable and reviewed by your regular local care first.

What photos should I send from Minna?

Send clear photos of the front, top, crown and back of the head in good daylight. For a beard transplant, add photos of the beard area from the front and both sides.
