Where it earns its place

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

A hair transplant is more than the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes.

Beard transplant

FUE method, no incisions or stitches

A surgeon marking the beard line before a transplant at City Medical Centre

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.

Eyebrow transplant

Your first meeting with the surgeon includes drawing the brow shape, going through references jointly and matching the design to the proportions of your face. The implanted hairs sit at the angle of growth, which keeps the brows from looking painted on. Brows that gave up growing under years of plucking are helped.

What people ask

We answer what people
ask before booking

City Medical Centre doctors

It is entirely possible. The clinic looks after people from a broad mix of cities and countries, and the process opens with a consultation online.

FUE is $2,200 (≈ DZD 295,000), DHI is $2,500 (≈ DZD 335,000), combined DHI+FUE is $2,700 (≈ DZD 365,000). A free consultation with a graft count gives you the exact, contract-fixed price.

Just one day is needed, and you sleep in your own bed.

Painless from beginning to end, thanks to local anaesthesia.

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.

Graft numbers vary; the doctor establishes yours at a consultation that carries no fee, based on donor hair.

Healing is done within 0–10 days. The shed at 2–4 weeks is expected, not a failure. Hair grows from 3–4 months, looks thick around 6–9 months, with the end result appearing at 12–18 months.

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

Reasons Skikda patients choose this operation

Both FUE and DHI are open to a patient in Skikda: neither leaves a surgical cut, neither requires stitches, both are carried out under local anaesthesia, and both wrap up in one day instead of dragging on.

The photo does the work at the start for a patient in Skikda: it goes to the doctor, the online consultation is free, and the answer about whether a transplant helps comes back to you. Open 24/7.

First 0-10 days: healing. At 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs are shed, and that is normal for this procedure. Growth starts at 3-4 months, which is the moment most patients have been waiting for.

Hair Transplant in Skikda: price and what is included

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

Skikda: A Mediterranean Port Built on Ancient Rusicade

Skikda looks out over the Gulf of Stora on the Mediterranean, and it ranks among the larger cities of the Algerian coast; the 2008 census recorded 163,618 people in the commune. Its roots are old. The Phoenicians set up a trading post here, the Romans turned it into the colony of Rusicade, and a large Roman theatre from that time is still part of the town. Today the commercial port carries a significant share of the country's trade, while the small harbour at Stora serves fishing boats.

Port towns have their own working rhythm: long shifts, outdoor jobs, constant contact with people coming and going. In that kind of life appearance feeds confidence, and plenty of men notice a retreating hairline or a thinning crown and ask whether a transplant would suit them and whether it clashes with work near the sea and the sun.

Industry matters here too. Oil refining, gas and petrochemical plants grew up around Skikda from the 1970s, and jobs of that kind mean standing on open sites and wearing helmets. It is worth raising this at the consultation: when can you return to your site, and what goes on your head in the first days?

We do not claim to have an office, a clinic or doctors in Skikda. What we offer is a start from a distance: photographs of the thinning area sent from your phone, which a doctor reads before telling you whether a transplant is worth considering or whether something simpler would do.

Coastal Humidity and the Healing Weeks

Skikda has a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Climate tables show a January mean near 12 degrees Celsius, July near 24 and August near 25, relative humidity of about 75 percent in January and 73 percent in July, rain of roughly 115 millimetres in January against a few millimetres in July, and about 729 millimetres across the year. Moist air is a constant companion in this city, in every season.

Humidity plus warmth means more sweat under any head covering. During the first 0-10 days, while the scalp heals, a roomy cap in soft cotton that lets air through and does not rub the grafts is the sensible choice, together with strict adherence to the washing routine you were given. In the rainy months do not walk out in the downpour with a wet head in the early days, and dry the area gently as instructed.

The sea is near almost every home in Skikda, so the question of swimming comes up naturally. The surgeon answers it according to how the skin is closing, not according to your wishes, so do not set a date for the beach yourself. Salt water, sand and direct summer sun do not suit skin that is still mending; once it has healed, ordinary sun care returns: a hat and a sunscreen.

Between the second and the fourth week the grafted hairs shed while the follicles stay in place, which is expected. New growth starts at 3-4 months, density shows at 6-9 months, and the final result settles at 12-18 months. That timetable does not shift with the season; your comfort does. This is why some coastal residents choose late autumn or early winter, so that the first weeks pass far from the sun of July and August.

Checking a Doctor in Algeria and What to Ask

Nobody in Algeria may practise medicine without entry on the roll of the doctors' professional body, which operates inside the national council of medical ethics and has regional councils that keep the lists. The Ministry of Health, whose official site is www.sante.gov.dz, runs health policy and the organisation of medical establishments. If you doubt a doctor's standing or the legitimacy of a place that proposes an operation, those are the two references.

Ask for the name of the doctor who will really perform the operation, not the one in the advertisement. Ask how many FUE procedures he has done himself, who carries out the implantation (he or a support team), and whether you can see cases like yours at 12 months or later. Photographs after two weeks say nothing about final density.

Ask about the methods and why one has been chosen for you. FUE means harvesting grafts with forceps and no stitches, DHI means implanting them with a Choi pen without pre-opened channels, and the combined method uses FUE for harvesting and the DHI pen for implanting. A doctor may recommend one according to your loss pattern and whether you want to restore the front or thicken the crown.

Do not assume insurance will pay, since the operation is mostly cosmetic. Check before you decide, and write down what you are told, because many patients forget half of the instructions in the first week.

The Day of the Operation, Step by Step

The operation is done without cuts or stitches and under local anaesthesia, and it is over in one day, with no overnight stay and no general anaesthetic. The doctor draws the new hairline with you before starting, you see it and agree to it, then grafts are taken from the back of the head and placed in the thinning area.

The skin heals within 0-10 days, and the small crusts fall away gradually. From week two to week four the transplanted hairs shed, and from the third or fourth month growth begins. Check-ups come at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months with photographs, so that you can compare what you see with how you started.

Going back to work depends on your trade. Office work can usually resume a few days after the first healing; port or plant work with dust, sun and sweat needs a frank talk with the doctor before the day of the operation. Exercise is reintroduced gradually once the skin has closed.

If the donor area at the back cannot supply enough grafts for what you want, the doctor will say so at the consultation and suggest what can really be achieved.

Starting the Conversation From Skikda

Send four photographs in daylight: the forehead from the front, the crown from above, both sides and the back of the head, with no cap and no flash, in original quality. The coordinator passes them to the doctor, who gives a first opinion on whether a transplant is possible and which technique fits.

Coordinators are available around the clock on Telegram and Telegram, which suits people on changing shifts or coming home late from work. Write whenever you like and the reply follows.

Before writing, note when the loss began and whether it is still advancing, whether relatives had the same pattern, and which medicines you take. Say plainly if you work in the sun or on a dusty site.

Can someone in Skikda start without visiting in person?

Yes. Send photographs of the thinning area to the coordinator on Telegram or Telegram and the doctor will tell you whether a transplant suits you. The first consultation is free and needs no booking.

Do Skikda's humidity and summer heat affect the result?

The season does not change the timeline, since growth starts at 3-4 months. Humidity and heat do increase sweating under a cap, so use a roomy cotton cover and follow the washing routine.

When can I swim in the sea after the operation?

The doctor sets the date according to how the skin has healed. Do not decide it yourself: salt water, sand and direct sun do not suit skin that is still mending.

How long does healing take and when do the grafted hairs shed?

Healing takes 0-10 days, the expected shedding of grafted hairs happens between two and four weeks, and growth begins at 3-4 months.

When do density and the final result show?

Density at 6-9 months and the final result at 12-18 months.

Is it general anaesthesia and is a hospital stay needed?

No. It is done under local anaesthesia, without cuts or stitches, and finishes in one day.

How do I check a doctor's registration in Algeria?
