two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is not only about the scalp. Grafts from the back of the head, the FUE method — only the area changes.
Beard transplant
FUE method, no incisions or stitches
The donor area at the back of the head supplies the grafts, placed through micro-punctures of about 1 mm with no scars left. Before the operation the doctor and you discuss the shape, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life, and the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The eyebrow shape is drawn by the surgeon at the initial consultation; references are looked through together and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural, and it helps where plucking stopped hair growth.
The doctor will assess your donor area, count the grafts and show what result is achievable in your case. The cost is quoted 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
We answer 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. The clinic works with patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available first.
Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ R37,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ R42,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ R45,500) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.
It takes just one day from start to finish, and you're free to go home afterward.
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.
It's a painless procedure, carried out under local anaesthesia.
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.
Graft count is calculated by the doctor at no cost, based on an assessment of your donor zone.
The timeline is: 0–10 days healing, 2–4 weeks shedding (normal), 3–4 months new growth, 6–9 months visible density, and 12–18 months for the final result.
The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.
