This route works for some people

If your case can be solved without an operation, the doctor will say so at the consultation, and you will not waste your money. Below are the conditions where a transplant really works.

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

The right cases for it

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • A receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Genetic factors of hair growth
  • Results of an injury or a burn
  • Shedding after an illness
  • Shedding due to a hormonal imbalance

Which category, though, is yours?

Leave your number and photos in a messenger. The doctor looks and tells you if a transplant helps. Free, nothing booked.

Grafts are taken from the back of the head, the donor area, and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so no scars are left. 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.

    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!

Asked all the time

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.

City Medical Centre doctors

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

Prices start at $2,200 (≈ PLN 8,600) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ PLN 9,800) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ PLN 11,000) for the combined method. Your final price is set after a free graft count and locked 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.

The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so it's painless.

In FUE, grafts are harvested with a tweezer, no cuts or stitches involved. In DHI, a Choi pen implants grafts without opening channels first. The combined method pairs FUE harvesting with DHI implantation.

The doctor calculates the exact number of grafts at a free consultation, based on your donor area.

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.

A contract-backed, lifetime guarantee of hair growth comes with every procedure.

It can all be checked

The answer to hair loss for Poznan patients

A patient in Poznan keeps an ordinary schedule: FUE and DHI are carried out without cuts or stitches, under local anaesthesia, in one day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ PLN 8,600) is fixed in the contract after a free count of the grafts.

The first step in Poznan happens on a phone screen and costs nothing. Photos of the thinning area are examined by the doctor, who then gives a verdict on whether a transplant will change anything. Replies go out 24/7.

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 Poznan: price and what is included

Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to PLN at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.

Stories told by well-known

Well-known people who spoke openly about this surgery, in their own words.

All stories about this operation →

Written by Anastasia A. Kolesnik, plastic surgeon, hair transplant doctor

Medically reviewed by Ellina V. Goncharova, dermatovenereologist, trichologist, surgeon. Review date:

Reading your own pattern of thinning honestly

Poznań had 536,151 inhabitants at the end of 2024 (the city itself; the metropolitan area counts 1,029,021), and a person in Poznań who looks at thinning hair has one first question: will an operation actually help me? The doctor's first job is to say honestly whether surgery will help. Androgenetic or diffuse thinning and bald zones with a receding frontal area are the reasons the clinic gives for going ahead.

The reasons against form a long list: trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, cancer, age under 18, intolerance to anaesthetics, epilepsy, serious heart disease, diabetes mellitus, a pacemaker, hepatitis B or C, HIV and pulmonary embolism. Each has a different explanation, and the doctor goes through the ones that concern you. Shedding after an illness or because of a hormonal imbalance is a separate matter, and the doctor will tell you when it is better to treat the cause first.

A first opinion costs nothing. Send photographs of the places where the hair has thinned to a coordinator in WhatsApp or Telegram, a doctor reviews them, and nothing is booked until you decide. The coordinators answer at any hour. Take the photographs in even daylight, from the front, from both sides, from above and from behind, and add a line on how long the thinning has gone on and whether anyone in the family has similar loss.

If the answer is positive, the donor area is examined, grafts are counted, and a realistic result is described. The grafts come from the back of the head or the temples, and the operation is done under local anaesthesia, finishing within one day.

Who pays in Poland, and how to check the doctor

The National Health Fund, the NFZ, is the public body that finances health care in Poland. For cosmetic and aesthetic treatments the picture is clear in Polish medical journalism: Medycyna Praktyczna, in an interview with a plastic surgeon, says that reconstructive, reparative and post-trauma plastic surgery is reimbursed, while procedures that only improve appearance, such as changing the shape of the nose, are not. The article does not name hair restoration among the reimbursed procedures, so do not assume any cover: ask the NFZ or your own doctor, and get the answer in writing.

That does not make your own doctor irrelevant. Several of the conditions on the clinic's exclusion list, such as diabetes, a heart condition or epilepsy, are worth discussing with the doctor who knows your history before any surgery.

Poland has a Central Register of Physicians kept by the Polish Chamber of Physicians, Naczelna Izba Lekarska. Its website links directly to a lookup labelled in Polish as a check for a doctor or dentist, at rejestr.nil.org.pl, and publishes the rules for verifying a doctor's right-to-practise number. Before choosing a surgeon for any procedure it is reasonable to spend a minute there.

Note the surgeon's name, the specialty shown in the register and the date of your check. Then ask the coordinator for the medical licence number, the legal entity that provides the care and the diplomas and certificates of the doctors; the clinic says you can check all of this before you pay.

FUE, DHI or the combined protocol: getting the method onto paper

The clinic works with three approaches. FUE takes grafts without a cut, with a tweezer; DHI implants them directly with a Choi pen, skipping the making of channels; the combined protocol takes grafts by FUE and places them by DHI. No method is better in the abstract. The question is which fits your pattern of loss, your donor area and the density you hope for, and the answer should be written in the plan, with the reasons.

Ask the surgeon to explain in your words, not in brochure words, why the chosen method suits you and what the alternative would change. If you were offered one approach in the first message and another after the examination, ask what changed. A change after examination is natural, since the donor area is judged by looking at it. A change in the answer to the same question on the same day is not.

Ask also what the day itself looks like. The operation is completed within a single day, with local anaesthesia, and you go home afterwards. Find out who will be with you in the operating room, who removes the grafts and who places them, and whether the doctor you meet at the consultation is the doctor who operates. The clinic says that it is.

Beard and eyebrow transplants use the same grafts from the back of the head and the same FUE method, and only the area changes. If you are thinking about a second zone, put both on the table from the beginning, so that the donor area is planned as a whole and not spent twice.

Counting grafts: what a donor-area report should say

The cost and the plan both depend on the graft count, and the count is made at the consultation, after the donor zone has been inspected and a realistic outcome explained. Ask for the result in writing: the zones to be covered, the number of grafts that the doctor proposes, the part of the scalp they come from and the density the surgeon considers achievable. A number without an area is not a plan.

A thoughtful report also says what is not promised. Transplanted hairs shed in the second to fourth weeks as a normal stage and the follicles stay in place, so a patient who knows this does not panic at the mirror in week three. Ask what happens to the donor area, how it will look in the first days, and what the care plan covers for both zones.

Ask whether you may keep any photographs taken at the consultation. They are the only fair comparison with the result a year and more later, and they make the later conversations concrete. A surgeon who takes such pictures and shares them is working in the open.

Finally, ask how the plan changes if you do not want to go as far as proposed. A modest first stage with the option of a second one is a legitimate request, and a good team can describe both versions without pressure.

A year of photographs and five check-ups

The clinic reviews you at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and a personal coordinator follows your photographs and messages in between. The stages are 0–10 days of healing, a shedding phase in weeks 2 to 4, regrowth from months 3 to 4, thickness at months 6 to 9 and a final result at 12 to 18 months. Treat the first year as a project with five meetings, and put each in your own calendar when the date is fixed.

The inclusions are practical: dressings and healing checks, a care plan for the transplant and donor areas, guidance on hair washing, sleep and headwear, and a plan for returning to sport and hair care. Ask for these instructions in writing before the day and read them with someone close to you. Instructions given in a hurry on the day are the easiest ones to forget.

Agree on how you will photograph yourself. Use the same room, the same distance and the same angles every month, and send the pictures to the coordinator when asked. Without such a series, a thinning crown that is slowly filling in looks the same every morning, and the improvement is easy to miss.

Keep all papers in one place: the contract, the receipts, the plan with the graft count, the care instructions and the dates of the visits.

Can I get a first assessment in Poznań without leaving home?

Yes. Send photographs of the thinning areas to a coordinator on WhatsApp or Telegram, a doctor reviews them, and nothing is booked until you decide. The first assessment is free.

Is a hair transplant reimbursed by the NFZ?

Medycyna Praktyczna, quoting a plastic surgeon, says that reconstructive and post-trauma plastic surgery is reimbursed while procedures that only improve appearance are not. It does not name hair restoration among them, so do not assume any cover and get a written answer from the NFZ or your physician.

How do I check a doctor in Poland?

The Polish Chamber of Physicians keeps a Central Register of Physicians, and its website links to the lookup at rejestr.nil.org.pl. Note the surgeon's name, specialty and the date you checked.

How do I choose between FUE and DHI?

Ask the surgeon which method fits your pattern of loss and donor area, and ask for the reason in writing. FUE extracts grafts without cutting; DHI implants them with a Choi pen; the combined protocol uses FUE to take and DHI to place.

What should a graft-count report include?

The zones to be covered, the proposed number of grafts, the donor area they come from and the achievable density. Ask also for the photographs taken at the consultation, to compare with later pictures.

Which care instructions should I get in writing?

Guidance on hair washing, sleep and headwear, the care plan for the transplant and donor areas, and a plan for returning to sport and hair care. Ask for them before the day of the operation.

How often will the clinic check my progress in the first year?

At 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, with photographs and messages to your personal coordinator between the visits.
