two added areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
Zones other than the scalp work the same way: grafts from the back of the head, the FUE method, nothing else changes.
Beard transplant
FUE, no incisions and no stitches
Grafts are taken from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so no scars are left. The doctor agrees 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.
Shaping begins at the first consultation, where the surgeon outlines the brows: reference pictures are viewed together and your facial proportions guide the drawing. Each hair goes in at the right angle, so the brows look like your own. This also suits brows that stopped growing after long years of plucking.
The doctor will assess your donor area, count the grafts and show what result is possible 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!

Typical queries
We tell 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.
The base prices are $2,200 (≈ €2,000) (FUE), $2,500 (≈ €2,250) (DHI) and $2,700 (≈ €2,450) (combined). The precise cost is determined at a free consultation and graft count, then fixed in your contract.
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 — the procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is painless.
FUE means tweezer-based, incision-free graft harvesting. DHI means channel-free implantation with a Choi pen. Combined DHI+FUE uses FUE for harvesting and the DHI pen for implanting.
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.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.
It can all be checked before you pay
Care is provided under a medical licence, to the standards and clinical guidelines
of Ministry of Health.

The wounds close in 0-10 days, the transplanted hairs fall out at 2-4 weeks as they are supposed to, growth starts at 3-4 months, visible density comes at 6-9 and the final picture at 12-18. Reviews are held at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months by photo with a personal coordinator, under a lifetime growth guarantee.
Hair Transplant in Pristina: price and what is included
Prices are in US dollars; the amount in brackets is an approximate conversion to EUR at the rate of 02.10.2026. The final price is fixed in your contract.
The Ministry of Health and two questions about a licence
Pristina is the capital of Kosovo, with 227,466 residents in the municipality in 2024. The highest health authority in the country is the Ministry of Health. For a person weighing an operation, that yields two plain questions: is this person a licensed physician, and is the place licensed to offer the service?
Neither answer deserves blind trust, whether it comes from a clinic, a coordinator or a friend. Obtain the physician's name and the licence particulars in writing, keep them with the contract and write down the date on which you received them. A team that works seriously will not resent being asked twice.
The clinic displays its medical licence number and lets patients inspect the diplomas and certificates of the physicians who transplant hair. They are a trichologist surgeon who specialises in hair, a dermatovenereologist trained in trichology, and a plastic surgeon. Go through those papers before any payment.
Why the insurance question is short for an elective operation
Kosovo has long been trying to introduce a health insurance scheme. An article dated 4 September 2024 relates that the 2014 law was never put into effect, that a new draft won approval on 29 August 2024, and that essential services at public institutions are to remain free for every citizen. A hair transplant is elective and not essential care, so the article gives no ground to expect public cover; plan to pay from your own funds, and note that the article is dated and rules may have moved on.
Money turns into a question of paperwork. The quotation emerges from the free consultation once the grafts have been tallied, and it is bound into the contract. A deposit holds the date; it can be settled with a card at the clinic or through an internet payment, and every condition goes into the medical services contract. Should you prefer to divide the outlay. Ask what the total covers before you consent.
Five documents to hold before any deposit
Paper one: the number of the medical licence, plus the name of the legal entity supplying the care. Paper two: names and diplomas of the physicians, together with a written statement of who removes the grafts and who places them. The clinic maintains that the physician you meet at the consultation also operates; written down, that sentence becomes testable.
Paper three: the method, named in the contract so that it is not decided on the morning of surgery. Paper four: the number of grafts, derived from the donor zone behind the ears and on the nape or at the temples, next to the outcome that is realistic. Paper five: an itemised list of what is included, running from bandages and healing visits through washing and sleep advice to the schedule of five checks across the first year.
A pile of five papers may look excessive, yet it is what lets you compare two offers side by side. If a quote exists only as a chat message, ask for it in a document with a date on it.
When a second offer arrives, lay both papers next to each other and compare them line by line: method, number of grafts, who operates, what is included, which checks are planned, what happens if you are unhappy. Differences are normal. What matters is whether each difference comes with a reason you understand, given calmly and in writing.
FUE, DHI or both: a way to question the choice
Forceps do the harvesting in FUE, and no incisions or stitches result. In DHI a Choi pen deposits each graft straight into the scalp, bypassing the stage where channels are opened. The combined protocol harvests by FUE and deposits by DHI; the clinic links it to densifying androgenetic alopecia. Survival and trauma numbers come per method as rough averages, since the exact values rest on the zone receiving grafts and on the person.
Put your question in a form that cannot be answered with a slogan: given my pattern of loss and my donor zone, what would each method change in healing and in the final density, and why do you pick this one? The doctor's answer, given at the consultation after the photographs have been studied, belongs in your file.
Anaesthesia is local. The whole procedure takes one day, and the patient goes home the same day. Tests are required beforehand; the clinic sets out which ones and gives guidance for getting them done, so ask for that list in good time.
Write your question about the final result in a plain form too: what do you realistically expect from my donor zone, and what would make you advise me against going ahead? The clinic says that the doctor studies the donor zone, arrives at the graft count and sets out the achievable outcome. Hold the doctor to that sentence and keep the answer.
Months 2 to 18: what is normal and what to photograph
A worry may arise when the transplanted hairs drop out. The clinic describes that as expected between weeks two and four, since the follicles remain. Ahead of it lies a soothing phase of ten days, with crusts shedding and swelling retreating. Behind it lie new growth from the third to the fourth month, volume from the sixth to the ninth, and the final look from the twelfth to the eighteenth.
Match your own record to that timetable. Photograph the identical areas under identical light before surgery and again at every inspection, date each file and pass it to the coordinator assigned to you from the first message to the end of recovery. Save the washing and headwear advice the day you receive it, and jot questions down as they occur.
A transplant does not fit everyone. Grounds for declining include age under eighteen, cancer, epilepsy, diabetes mellitus, a pacemaker, pulmonary embolism, hepatitis B or C, HIV, serious heart disease, intolerance of anaesthetics, trichotillomania and body dysmorphic disorder. Your doctor tells you frankly at the consultation, and that frankness saves money.
From Pristina, a phone is enough for the first step. Photographs of the thinning area and of the donor zone go to a coordinator in WhatsApp or Telegram; a reply is promised within a quarter of an hour, and the team can be reached at all hours. The doctor then judges whether a transplant would be of use. Nothing is booked, nothing is paid.
A short first message works best. Write your age, how long the thinning has been visible, any illness or medicine that the doctor should know about, and attach the photographs. Add the one question that matters most to you. A coordinator will pass it on, and the answers that come back become the first pages of your file.
Which Kosovo authority stands at the top of the health system?
The Ministry of Health is the highest health authority in Kosovo. Ask your coordinator for the surgeon's name and licence details, keep them with the contract and note the date you received them.
Does Kosovo's public health system pay for a hair transplant?
An article of 4 September 2024 says essential services in public institutions are to stay free for citizens. A transplant is elective, so plan on paying for it yourself and ask for every figure in the contract.
What should be ready before my first message?
Pictures of the thinning area and of the back of the head, taken in daylight, and a sentence on when the loss began. The coordinator forwards them to a doctor for an opinion.
What goes on the itemised list of inclusions?
Bandages and healing visits, the care plan for both zones, advice on washing, sleep and headwear, the schedule for sport and hair care, direct contact with the coordinator, and five inspections spread over the first twelve months.
Is the shedding at week three a setback?
No. The clinic labels it a normal stage: transplanted hairs fall out and the follicles stay behind, with new growth expected from the third to the fourth month.
What can I ask the doctor about the choice of method?
Ask which method suits your pattern of loss, what each one would change in healing and density, and who performs each step. Get the answer in writing, with the figures for your own area.
Is the consulting doctor the same person who operates?
According to the clinic, yes. Request that the contract names the operating doctor, so that the statement can be checked later.
