another two zones
Beard and eyebrow transplants
Whatever zone is treated, the grafts come from the back of the head and the method stays FUE.
Beard transplant
FUE method, no incisions or stitches
The donor area is the back of the head; grafts move from there through micro-punctures of about 1 mm and no scars are left. The shape is decided together with the doctor before the operation, taking your facial features into account. Transplanted hair grows for life: the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
Contour first: the surgeon draws it at the first appointment, references are lined up for comparison, and the design follows your facial proportions. Hairs set at the growth angle make the brows look natural up close. Where years of plucking stopped growth, this is the answer.
Examination of the donor zone, a count of the grafts, and an honest picture of the outcome. The contract then holds the figure you were given at the appointment.

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!

What gets asked
We share 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 — City Medical Centre regularly treats patients from other cities and countries, starting with an online consultation.
FUE costs $2,200 (≈ €2,000), DHI costs $2,500 (≈ €2,250), and the combined DHI+FUE method costs $2,700 (≈ €2,450). The exact amount is confirmed at a free consultation after your grafts are counted, and it is fixed in the 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 pain during the procedure, thanks to 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.
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.
You get a lifetime hair growth guarantee, written into the contract.

What the procedure means for someone in Riga
Hair restoration for patients from Riga is a single day of work. FUE and DHI avoid cuts and stitches entirely, local anaesthesia is the only medication needed, and the patient goes home afterwards.
A free online consultation is open to anyone in Riga, and it needs only pictures of the affected zone: the doctor looks and says whether a transplant will help. Contact runs 24/7, without days off.
Skin settles over 0-10 days. Then come 2-4 weeks, when the transplanted hairs drop out - normal, expected, and no reason to worry. Growth resumes at 3-4 months, slowly at first and then in earnest.
Hair Transplant in Riga: 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.
In Latvia the Veselības inspekcija, the Health Inspectorate, keeps public registers on its website, and three of them matter when somebody offers you a hair transplant. The first covers registered healthcare practitioners. For a given person it shows the profession they are authorised to practise, the registration period, a unique identifier and the certificate. The second, also about practitioners, records the employment location within a healthcare institution, the certified specialty and the validity period of the certificate. The third is the Registry of Healthcare Institutions, with basic information, branches and structural units, certificates and compliance status.
Give each register its own question. To the practitioner register you put: is this surgeon recorded, and for what profession? To the employment register: where does this person work, and does the certified specialty fit the procedure I was offered? To the institutions registry: is the entity named in my contract listed? All three answers are public, and none requires the clinic's cooperation, which is exactly the point of a register. They cover practitioners and institutions registered in Latvia, so if your offer comes from elsewhere, ask the coordinator in writing which register applies.
Mind the language. The search tools on the Inspectorate's site are provided in Latvian only, so leave extra time and copy the surgeon's name with its diacritics. A sensible order is to ask for the name at the consultation, note the specialty that was claimed in conversation, and compare both with the entries before a deposit is discussed.
The clinic, for its part, says that a person can verify everything before paying, starting with the licence and ending with the doctors' diplomas. Put the two checks together: request the licence number plus the name of the operating company by email, then lay the register entry beside what came back.
Where the state budget stops, and why the quote matters more
Latvia's health system is described as universal and largely tax-funded, with the National Health Service, the Nacionālais veselības dienests, set up in 2011. A government regulation of 28 August 2018, number 555, lists in point 2.2 the aesthetic surgical operations and cosmetology services that are not paid from the state budget. Whether a hair transplant counts as one of those services is a question for the clinic and the health service; assume a private payment until you have the answer in writing.
The practical result is that the only document protecting your money is the contract. Ask for it as a file days before you decide. The figure appears only after the free consultation and the graft count, and from then on it sits in the contract along with the deposit terms for your chosen day.
Read the clinic's own list of what the sum includes, which runs from dressings to a year of follow-up with five scheduled checks and a coordinator who accepts your photographs, and hold your copy up against it line by line. Any item the contract does not mention is a question.
One more practical habit helps in a country where cosmetic work is paid privately: keep every receipt, the signed contract and the written care plan in the same folder, with a photograph of each page on your phone. If you ever need to discuss something with the clinic, you can point to a dated line.
A script for the first online call
Nothing is charged for the opening conversation, and it runs remotely: you leave a number, send photographs of the thinning places, and a doctor tells you if the idea is sensible. Draft your questions first, because the answers will later be set against whatever another clinic tells you.
Open with the diagnosis. Is the cause androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, an injury, a recent illness, or something else? The clinic treats androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, bald areas and a retreating frontal edge as good reasons to operate. Hair loss after illness, after hormonal imbalance, after a burn or injury appears on the list of situations where a transplant is not the answer, as does patchy alopecia.
Then ask about method. With FUE the forceps lift grafts from the donor zone and nobody sews anything. With DHI a Choi pen deposits every graft where it will grow, so separate channels never need preparing. The combined course borrows the harvesting of the former and the placing of the latter. Ask why one of the three fits you better than the others, then request that reasoning by message. Ask also who performs each stage; and the clinic's promise that your consultant is also your surgeon should show up in the contract.
Next, health. The written obstacles form a long list, among them trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, oncology, a cardiac pacemaker, epilepsy and diabetes mellitus, plus viral hepatitis, HIV, pulmonary embolism and an age under 18. If any of these is true for you, say so in the first message instead of leaving it for later.
Close with logistics: which tests precede the operation, by when, and what the instructions look like. The clinic outlines the list and gives guidance for completing it. Ask to receive both as text.
Gaps that appear between a chat promise and a signed paper
Chat is quick and contracts are slow, so details drift. Keep a table with two columns: what was said, and what the document says. Rows to include are method, graft count, area, who operates, what the sum covers, the schedule of checks and the terms of the deposit.
When the columns differ, write one polite message that quotes both and asks which is right. Do not rely on a verbal reassurance to settle it; a figure that lives only in a conversation cannot be compared with what you receive.
Decide beforehand what would make you walk away: a refusal to put a number in writing, a vague answer about the operating doctor, pressure to pay at once. Having the line on paper makes it easier to keep when a friendly voice on the other side suggests a deadline.
A doctor's advice against operating is a legitimate result. The clinic itself says that the surgeon has no reason to send you to theatre without need. If you hear this and feel disappointed, ask what else can be done, and for how long it is sensible to wait.
Questions about the day itself are easy to postpone and hard to ask afterwards. How long will you be at the clinic, who stays near you after the anaesthetic wears off, and what will the donor zone look like when you get up? Ask whom to message if the scalp worries you at night. The coordinator network works round the clock, and a named person to write to is worth requesting before the deposit, not after.
A log for hair that returns in stages
Growth follows a calendar that the clinic spells out. Days 0 to 10 belong to soothing, as crusts come off and swelling settles. Weeks 2 to 4 bring the shedding of the new hairs, with roots staying put. After 3 to 4 months fresh growth begins, density follows at 6 to 9 months, and 12 to 18 months deliver the finished result and a natural edge.
Open a folder on the day of the operation. Place the contract, the care plan and the washing instructions inside, then add a dated photograph from the same four angles before every check. A message with the new set goes to your coordinator, who stays in touch from the first enquiry to the end of recovery.
Leave a short note for each visit: what you were told, what you were advised on washing and sleep, which questions remained. When you reach month five and a colleague says nothing has changed, the log will show that the quiet phase was predicted.
Where can I verify a surgeon in Latvia?
The Health Inspectorate publishes a register of medical practitioners and a register of healthcare institutions. The tools are in Latvian only, so allow time and copy the name with its diacritics.
What does the practitioner register show?
For a given person it shows the profession they are authorised to practise, the registration period, a unique identifier and the certificate.
Does the state pay for a cosmetic transplant?
Cabinet of Ministers Regulation No. 555 of 28 August 2018 lists, in point 2.2, aesthetic surgical operations and cosmetology services among those not paid from the state budget.
Which pictures should I prepare for the doctor?
Clear daylight photos of every thinning zone from the top, the front, both sides and the back, plus a few words on when the loss started and whether it is still progressing.
Can the doctor say that a transplant is not for me?
Yes. The clinic says the surgeon has no reason to operate needlessly and will say so at the consultation, which also spares you the cost.
What should the contract name besides the sum?
The method, the graft count, the treated area, the operating doctor, the list of inclusions, the check-up schedule and the terms of the deposit.
How do I avoid mixing up chat promises and contract terms?
Keep a two-column table of what was said and what is written, and send one clarifying message whenever the columns differ.
Why do transplanted hairs fall out first?
The clinic calls it a normal stage between two and four weeks: the hairs shed while the follicles stay in place, and growth restarts at three to four months.
