two other areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
The area may change, the surgery stays the same: grafts from the back of the head, taken with FUE.
Beard transplant
FUE method, free of cuts or stitches
Grafts are taken from the donor area at the back of the head and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm — there are no scars afterwards. 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.
At the initial consultation the surgeon draws the eyebrow shape, you look through references together, and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where plucking has stopped hairs growing.
The doctor will assess your donor area, count the grafts and show what you can achieve. The cost is quoted at the consultation and fixed in the contract.

5
Collecting hair units ready for placing
The donor area, located at the back of the head or the temples, provides the grafts, collected without any stitching.

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!

Questions we get
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. City Medical Centre accepts patients from other cities and countries, and an online consultation is available before you decide.
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.
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.
Healing runs 0–10 days, followed by normal hair shedding at 2–4 weeks. Growth kicks in at 3–4 months, thickens by 6–9 months, and reaches its final result at 12–18 months.
Hair growth is covered by a lifetime guarantee, fixed in the signed contract.

Rotterdam: what the procedure gives and how it starts
FUE and DHI are built around convenience, which is what a patient in Rotterdam usually needs: no cuts, no stitches, local anaesthesia on its own, and an operation that finishes the day it starts.
Begin with a photo, not with paperwork, if you are in Rotterdam: the free online consultation gives the doctor a view of the thinning area and a graft count. The clinic is in touch 24/7, so the answer is never delayed for long.
Recovery is measured in 0-10 days, after which the calendar matters more than the mirror: at 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs shed, which is normal, and only at 3-4 months does growth get going.
Hair Transplant in Rotterdam: 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.
Arrive at the first conversation with a short list
The municipality of Rotterdam is put at 674,485 people in a 2026 estimate. Among them are plenty who have studied their own reflection in a shop window and wondered whether a transplant is a sensible idea or a vanity they will regret. A short list of questions, written down before the first conversation, turns that wondering into a decision you can defend to yourself.
Start with the cause. Is the thinning inherited, spread evenly over the scalp, or has it followed illness, a hormonal change, an injury or a burn? The clinic lists androgenetic and diffuse loss, and bald zones with a receding front, as the situations a transplant addresses. Shedding after illness, shedding that comes from a hormonal imbalance and damage from a burn or injury are placed on the opposite side, together with patchy alopecia and low density in the donor zone. Knowing which description fits you saves everybody's time.
Then think about what you want to see. A thicker crown, a restored temple, a firmer front line or just a stop to further thinning are four different jobs with four different graft counts. Describe the goal in plain words and, if you can, find a photograph of yourself from a few years ago. A doctor can plan with a before picture of you more reliably than with an after picture of a stranger.
The consultation is free and takes place online. Send photographs of the thinning area to a coordinator in WhatsApp or Telegram; coordinators reply at any hour. A doctor looks at the pictures, counts the grafts the donor area can support and says plainly whether a transplant is likely to be worth it.
Matching a technique to the pattern, in questions
Three techniques are on offer. FUE removes grafts with forceps, with no incisions or stitches. DHI implants them with a Choi pen and does not need pre-cut channels. A combined protocol takes grafts with FUE and places them with the pen, and it is the one the clinic describes for densification. For FUE the clinic gives graft survival as 98 to 100 percent, an average for guidance: the exact figure depends on the treated area and the person, and the doctor sets it out at the consultation.
Put these questions to the doctor, and write the answers beside each other. Which technique is proposed for my pattern, and why not another? How many grafts, and from which part of the donor area? Is the front, the crown or both being treated in this session? What will the donor area look like on the way home?
The doctor who talks to you in the consultation is the one who works in the operating room. Check that this is written in the plan, along with the name and the specialism: the clinic's team includes a trichologist surgeon, a dermatovenereologist and a plastic surgeon.
The operation is done in a single day under local anaesthesia. People with epilepsy, a serious heart condition, diabetes, a pacemaker, HIV or hepatitis B or C, a past pulmonary embolism, intolerance to anaesthetics, cancer, trichotillomania or body dysmorphic disorder, and anyone under eighteen, will not be offered one. If any of those apply, say so in the first message.
Beard and eyebrow transplants rest on the same donor idea and the same FUE principle; only the recipient zone differs. If either is on your mind, mention it in the first message, so that the doctor can plan the count and the visit as one piece of work and give you a single clear estimate.
Twelve months with a folder and a camera
Early healing covers about ten days, when crusts come off and swelling goes down. Weeks two to four bring a shedding phase that is expected and does not mean the transplant has failed. Growth begins at three to four months. From six to nine months thickness builds up, and the finished look is assessed at twelve to eighteen months. Talk through this timetable at the consultation so that the quiet months do not alarm you.
A simple photograph routine does the rest. Take the same views in the same light on the evening before the operation, then at each check-up, which falls at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Send the set to your coordinator, who stays in touch during recovery. After a year you will own a dated record that settles any argument with your own memory.
The clinic provides guidance on washing the hair, on sleeping and on covering the head, and a plan for returning to sport and hair care. Ask what may touch the transplanted area in the first period, and put the answer in writing before the date rather than after.
Agree in advance what you will do if something looks wrong between visits. A short written rule is enough: which changes you report at once, whom you message, what the coordinator asks you to send, and how quickly a visit with the doctor can be booked. Written down once, it saves guessing when a question comes up between visits.
Keep the folder complete: contract, graft count, the plan, the photographs, the list of check-ups and your coordinator's contact. On the evening before the operation open it once more, and then close it and rest.
Dutch registers and Dutch insurance, in practice
The Netherlands keeps the BIG-register, an official register of health professionals. The register's own explanation of why consulting it is useful gives plastic surgery as an example: you can see whether someone who offers plastic surgery is actually a registered plastic surgeon. For a hair transplant, the clinic shows the diplomas and certificates of its doctors, so ask to see them and compare names and specialisms with what you were told in the consultation. Note any difference and ask about it in writing.
The clinic also states that it holds a medical licence and that care follows standards and clinical guidelines. Ask for the licence number and the legal entity named in your contract, and keep both with the other papers.
On cost cover, a Dutch hospital's patient information describes cosmetic surgery as care without medical necessity and says that basic insurance never reimburses it. It points to the policy conditions and to the insurer for any supplementary cover. Whether a transplant for hair loss counts in your own policy is a question to put to your insurer, preferably in writing, before you decide.
One grid for two quotations
A hair transplant is paid for under a contract for medical services, and the date is held with a deposit, by card at the clinic or online. Ask for the contract before you pay and read it calmly. The total is fixed after the graft count, and the sum agreed holds on the day of the operation.
When you have two offers, give them one grid. Rows: technique, number of grafts, area treated, anaesthesia, who operates, what follows in check-ups, which dressings and care instructions are included, how long contact with the coordinator lasts, and what happens if you wish to continue later with another area. Columns: the offers. Fill every cell from a written answer. Any empty cell is the next question.
The price is fixed in the contract before surgery, with no hidden extras.
What belongs in a first message to a coordinator?
Four or five photographs of the thinning area, a few lines about when the loss began, your health notes and what you hope to change. The doctor works from those.
Why does the donor area matter so much?
The grafts come from the back of the head or the temples, so the doctor counts what that area can safely supply before naming a figure for your plan.
How do I confirm a doctor in the Netherlands?
Search the BIG-register, the official Dutch register of health professionals, then ask the clinic to show the doctor's diplomas and certificates and compare the names.
Will my Dutch basic insurance pay?
A Dutch hospital's patient information says care without medical necessity, such as cosmetic surgery, is never reimbursed by basic insurance. Ask your insurer in writing about supplementary cover.
What should I ask about hats and caps?
Ask the coordinator, before the date, what may touch the transplanted area and for how long, and keep the reply in writing.
Which health conditions must I mention?
Epilepsy, diabetes, serious heart disease, a pacemaker, HIV or hepatitis, a past pulmonary embolism, intolerance to anaesthetics, cancer and any mental health diagnosis such as trichotillomania.
Can I compare my plan with another clinic's?
Yes. Put both plans into one grid of technique, grafts, area, anaesthesia, surgeon, follow-up and inclusions, and fill each cell from written answers.
