This route works for some people

Your case may be solvable without surgery; the doctor will say so right at the consultation — and you will not waste your money. Below are the conditions where a transplant works.

A man with thinning hair at a consultation: a case where a hair transplant helps

Types of loss it covers

  • Androgenetic or diffuse
    alopecia
  • A receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Genetic factors of hair growth
  • Damage caused by a burn or injury
  • Hair loss post-illness
  • Shedding tied to hormonal imbalance

Reading this and still guessing?

Leave a number: the coordinator asks for photos of the affected area in a messenger, and a doctor studies them and tells you if a transplant would help. There is no charge and no commitment.

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

Eyebrow transplant

The surgeon sketches the eyebrow shape during the initial consultation: you look through references together and the design follows your facial features. The hairs go in at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where hairs have stopped growing after years of plucking.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes. Where you live has no bearing on being accepted, and the doctor reviews your photographs online first.

The base prices are $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000) (FUE), $2,500 (≈ ₦3,350,000) (DHI) and $2,700 (≈ ₦3,600,000) (combined). The precise cost is determined at a free consultation and graft count, then fixed in your contract.

The surgery takes a single day, and you go home the same day.

It isn't painful: local anaesthesia is used throughout the surgery.

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 precise total is produced at the free consultation, once the doctor has assessed the donor zone.

Expect healing inside 0–10 days and a normal shedding phase at 2–4 weeks. Growth picks up at 3–4 months, the head looks full at 6–9 months, and the last changes finish by 12–18 months.

The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.

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

Ogbomoso and the question of hair restoration

Ogbomoso, also written Ogbomosho, is a city in Oyo State in south-western Nigeria. It was founded in the mid 17th century. The urban population was approximately 744,835 in 2024. That makes it the second largest city in Oyo State and one of the most populated in the country. Most residents are Yoruba, and people from other parts of Nigeria and from other West African countries also live here. In a city this size, a man or woman who is losing hair on the crown, at the temples or in the beard will usually know several people with the same worry.

People in Ogbomoso who ask about FUE or DHI are rarely after a dramatic change. They usually want a hair line that looks natural, a denser crown, or a beard that fills in evenly. Many want it done quietly, so that colleagues, classmates and relatives simply notice that they look rested and well.

This text explains how the procedure fits into life in Ogbomoso: the seasons, the working week, family events, and the way a remote consultation with City Medical Centre works from your own home.

How FUE and DHI work, explained for patients in Ogbomoso

In both methods, 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. FUE and DHI differ in how the grafts are placed. The goal is the same: a natural direction, angle and density of growth. The doctor discusses the shape with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. That matters in a city where many men keep a short, neat cut and a sharp hair line, because a hair line that is too low or too straight looks artificial up close.

The same approach applies to the beard. Transplanted hair grows for life, so you trim and style the beard as usual. For a man in Ogbomoso who wears a full beard for work, for church or for family occasions, that means no special routine once the healing phase has passed.

A useful question for your consultation is which technique suits your donor density and the area you want to cover. A coordinator can pass the question to the doctor along with your photos, so the answer is specific to you.

Climate in Ogbomoso: rainy season, cloud and recovery

Precipitation in Ogbomoso is most common from May to October, and the sky is more cloudy during the wet season. For someone recovering from a hair transplant, this changes the practical advice. In the rainy months, the main concern is keeping the scalp clean and avoiding wet, dirty headwear. Do not stand under a heavy downpour with an uncovered head in the early days. Carry a clean, loose cap or umbrella and follow the washing instructions your doctor gives you.

In the months outside May to October, the sun is the bigger issue. Fresh grafts and the donor area should be shielded from strong direct sun, so plan your outdoor errands for the shade and wear loose, clean headwear that does not press on the grafts. Dust on the roads can also irritate a healing scalp, so keep a clean cloth or cap ready and avoid rubbing the area.

Whatever the month, heat makes sweating more likely. Avoid sweaty exertion during the first days, sleep in a cool room and follow the doctor's advice on pillows and sleeping position. These are general principles, and your surgeon will give you the exact plan.

Choosing the season for your operation

No month is perfect, so the best season is the one that fits your schedule. The wet season from May to October has cloud cover that softens the sun, but rain and mud make it harder to keep headwear clean. The months outside it are usually easier for moving around, but you will need to protect the scalp more carefully from direct sun and dust.

Consider your calendar first. Think about exams, work deadlines, harvest-related business, church events, weddings and naming ceremonies. Early recovery is the stage when you may want to stay home and keep a low profile. The medical timeline helps: 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.

If you have an important family celebration in the coming months, mention the date during your consultation. The coordinator can help you plan the operation so that the visible early phase falls at a quiet time, and so that your later check-ups fit around your commitments.

Work, study and daily life during recovery

Ogbomoso has a varied working life. The land around the city has about 257 surrounding villages and emerging towns, and agriculture is the major economy, with cashew and mango plantations and cassava farming. People also work in trading, banking, small-scale manufacturing and construction. The city has higher education institutions, so many residents are students, teachers or researchers.

Your job determines your planning. Someone with an office, bank or classroom role can usually arrange a quiet first stretch at home. Someone who works on a farm, on a building site or in an open market has more exposure to sun, dust and sweat, and should discuss with the surgeon when outdoor work is sensible. Heavy lifting and strenuous activity should wait until the doctor allows it.

Students should think about the academic calendar. Choose a period without major exams or presentations if you would rather not explain your appearance. Shedding of transplanted hairs 2-4 weeks after surgery is expected, and it is easier to accept when you know about it beforehand and are not under pressure.

Traders and business owners can keep in touch with customers by phone while recovering. A coordinator will be on the phone 24/7, so you can also ask questions in the evening after a working day.

Sport, food culture and family occasions

Football on the street, in the field and in school grounds is part of life in Nigerian cities, and Ogbomoso is no exception. Contact sport, heading a ball and intense training are not suited to the early days after a transplant, because of the risk of knocks and heavy sweating. Ask your surgeon exactly when you can go back to your usual training, and follow the clinical plan on pool and sport rather than guessing. Light walking is usually the first activity to resume.

Food is a social centre in Yoruba life, and shared meals are frequent. Hot, spicy food is not a medical problem in itself, but a heavy meal in a warm room can make you sweat. Stay hydrated, eat regularly and ask the doctor if you have any dietary concerns, especially if you take regular medication.

Weddings, naming ceremonies, church services and festivals bring crowds, close contact and long hours in the heat. Plan the operation so the first healing days do not fall on such an event. If you cannot avoid one, discuss a clean cap or head covering with the doctor, so you do not rub or press the grafts. By the time of the later check-ups at months 3 and 6, most patients are comfortable in a crowd.

Candidates, contraindications and questions for the surgeon

In general terms, a good candidate has enough healthy hair in the donor area at the back of the head and realistic expectations. Hair loss that is still changing quickly, certain scalp conditions, some general health problems and certain medications need a doctor's assessment first. No online article can decide this for you. The doctor will look at your photos and medical history, and may ask for further information before confirming.

Prepare your questions before the call. Ask which technique, FUE or DHI, is better in your case. Ask how many sessions the plan needs, how the doctor will design the hair line for your face, how the donor area will look afterwards and what care you must follow in the first days. Ask what to avoid with Ogbomoso's rain, sun and dust, and when you can return to work and sport.

Weight and general health also matter for any operation. The World Health Organization publishes general information on overweight and obesity, and it is worth telling the doctor about your overall health honestly, including chronic conditions and anything you take regularly.

Being open at this stage protects your result. A good consultation ends with a clear plan, and you should feel free to ask again until it is clear.

A city that began with a hunter's hut by the Ajagbon tree

Ogbomoso was founded in the mid 17th century by Ogunlola, a skilled and courageous hunter of Ibariba origin. He and his wife Esuu built their hut beside the Ajagbon tree, and that compound later became the palace of the Soun. A city with such a clear sense of its own origin tends to value presentation and dignity, and many residents take care over how they look at public gatherings.

For a hair transplant this has a practical meaning. Decisions here are often discussed with family elders and close friends before they are made. Share the plan with the people you trust, explain that the first weeks include normal shedding of transplanted hair (2-4 weeks), and they will not be surprised when the new growth only starts at 3-4 months.

Alagba, the Soun and the rhythm of palace and public events

Ogbomoso has a long line of rulers. The title Soun passed from Ogunlola through many kings, and the title changed from Bale to Oba in 1952. The current Soun, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III, was approved by the Governor of Oyo State in September 2023. The palace grounds were also home to Alagba, the sacred tortoise, which died on 5 October 2019 and was widely mourned in the city.

Palace ceremonies and installations draw large crowds with long hours of standing in the open. If one is planned in your family or community, keep the first 0–10 days of healing well away from it. Ask your coordinator to help you set the operation date so that the visible early phase is over before a major public event.

Students and hospitals: LAUTECH, Bowen and the medical culture of Ogbomoso

Ogbomoso is home to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, named after Samuel Ladoke Akintola, and to Bowen University Teaching Hospital, which began as a missionary medical facility in March 1907 and became a teaching hospital in 2009. The Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary and several colleges of health technology are also here. People in the city are therefore used to seeing medical students and health workers, and they often arrive at a consultation well prepared with questions.

Students at these institutions can plan around the semester. Choose a quiet stretch with no presentations or practical exams, and remember that real density arrives at 6-9 months, long after the first shedding. Staff and lecturers who stand for hours in a lecture hall or ward should ask the surgeon how soon standing work is sensible.

Whatever the local hospitals offer, your transplant plan comes from the doctor you speak with online. Bring any local test results you have, and ask the coordinator which documents the doctor wants to see.

Cashew, mango and cassava: planning around farm and market life

Cashew and mango plantations are widely spread across the land around Ogbomoso, and the area was once among the largest planters of cassava. The city also keeps a prominent veterinary hospital for livestock vaccination, and many families keep goats and sheep. Work among plantations and animals means sun, dust and close contact with soil.

If you work in orchards, with livestock or in a market, tell the surgeon exactly what a normal day involves. Avoid dusty, sweaty work during the early healing period, keep headwear clean and wait until the doctor says that outdoor labour is acceptable. A farmer who plans the operation for a slower point in the farming year makes recovery much easier.

Oja-Igbo, Soun Stadium and the places you will want to look your best

The central mosque at Oja-Igbo towers over the old walled compounds, Okelerin Baptist church is among the oldest buildings in town, and Soun Stadium and the Ogbomoso Recreation Club, with its indoor sports hall and golf course, are known meeting points. Christianity, Islam and traditional African religions are the three main faiths, so Friday prayers, Sunday services and festivals shape the weekly calendar.

Plan around these fixed points. Keep a clean loose cap for the first days, avoid crowded halls in the early stage, and return to football, the sports hall or the golf course only when your surgeon allows it. Light walking comes first, and a heavy swing or a knock to the head is better left until you are cleared.

Remote consultation from Ogbomoso and follow-up

You contact City Medical Centre from your own city. The consultation is online and free, and coordinators are available around the clock (24/7) on Telegram and Telegram. You send clear photos of the front, top, sides and back of the head, tell the coordinator about your health, and explain what you want. The doctor then studies the case and gives an opinion on the method, the area and the plan.

We stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later. Check-ups follow at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, and these can be done remotely with photos, so you do not need to rearrange your life in Ogbomoso around frequent appointments. A coordinator will be on the phone 24/7 if something worries you between check-ups.

Patient experience gives a realistic picture: one patient wrote that from about the 4th month active, even growth began, that the transplanted hair took very well, and that the beard became much thicker and denser, with the shape he had thought about for a long time. Your own timeline will follow the medical stages: 2-4 weeks for shedding, 3-4 months for hair coming back, 6-9 months for visibly thicker hair, and 12-18 months for a settled look.

How many people live in Ogbomoso, and is hair transplant a common topic there?

The urban population was approximately 744,835 in 2024. In a city that large, hair loss and beard patchiness are common concerns, and many people ask about FUE and DHI through online consultations.

Can I have the consultation without leaving Ogbomoso?

Yes. The consultation is online and free. Send photos to a coordinator on Telegram or Telegram, available 24/7, and the doctor will review your case and propose a plan.

Does the rainy season affect recovery?

Rain is most common from May to October, with more cloud. The main points are keeping the scalp clean, avoiding wet or dirty headwear and following the washing plan. Your surgeon will give exact instructions.

How should I protect my scalp from sun and dust?

Outside the wet season, strong sun and dust on roads can irritate healing skin. Stay in the shade, wear a clean, loose cap that does not press on the grafts, and do not rub the area. Follow your doctor's guidance.

When will I see the result?

The stages are 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.

Will the donor area scar?

Grafts are taken from the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over. Your doctor will explain how the donor area is expected to look in your case.

Can the procedure be used for the beard?

Yes. Transplanted hair grows for life, so you trim and style the beard as usual. The doctor discusses the shape with you beforehand, taking your facial features into account.

Who follows my case after the operation?

We stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later. Check-ups take place at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, and a coordinator will be on the phone 24/7.

Can I go back to farm work, trading or sport quickly?

It depends on your job and on healing. Outdoor and heavy work means more sun, dust and sweat, and sport carries a risk of knocks, so ask the surgeon for a personal plan. Do not return to strenuous activity before the doctor allows it.

Who founded Ogbomoso, and does the history matter for my plans?

Ogbomoso was founded in the mid 17th century by Ogunlola, a hunter of Ibariba origin. The history does not affect the medicine, but the city's strong community life means you should plan around family and public events.

Can I schedule my operation around a palace or community event in Ogbomoso?

Yes. Tell the coordinator the date of the event. The operation can be timed so that the first 0–10 days of healing do not fall on a large crowd.

I study at LAUTECH or work at a hospital in Ogbomoso. When should I have the operation?

Choose a quiet period without exams or heavy duty rosters. Remember the stages: 2-4 weeks for shedding, 3-4 months for new growth, and 6-9 months for real density.

I work with cashew, mango or livestock around Ogbomoso. Is that a problem?

Dust, sun and sweat can irritate a healing scalp. Describe your daily work to the surgeon and return to outdoor labour only when the doctor allows it.
