two more areas
Beard and eyebrow transplants
A hair transplant is not only about the scalp. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the area changes.
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 — 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: the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.
The surgeon draws the eyebrow shape right at the initial consultation: you look through references together and the design takes your facial features into account. Hairs are implanted at the right angle, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps when years of plucking stopped the growth.

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!

Frequent questions
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, patients in Thembisa are accepted regularly. An online consultation lets you discuss your case before booking.
Pricing starts from $2,200 (≈ R37,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ R42,000) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ R45,500) for combined DHI+FUE. The exact figure is confirmed for free after a graft count and written into the contract.
The surgery takes a single day, and you go home the same day.
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.
It's a painless procedure, carried out under local anaesthesia.
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.
At the free consultation, the doctor counts the grafts you need according to your donor area.
0–10 days for healing, 2–4 weeks for normal shedding of transplanted hair, 3–4 months for new growth to start, 6–9 months for real density, and 12–18 months for the final result.
Your procedure includes a lifetime hair-growth guarantee under contract.

Hair transplant: how it looks from Thembisa
Living in Thembisa changes nothing in the surgery itself: FUE and DHI are done without cuts and without stitches, under local anaesthesia, in a single day. Graft survival is 98-100 %, and a price from $2,200 (≈ R37,000) is fixed in the contract after a free graft count.
The first conversation for a resident of Thembisa is free and takes place online: the doctor looks at photos of the thinning area and counts the grafts. Every day the clinic is reachable 24/7, so you choose the hour, not the clinic.
Healing is a matter of 0-10 days, the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and that is expected, growth resumes at 3-4 months, density is obvious at 6-9 and the result is complete at 12-18. The clinic checks in at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months by photo, and the growth guarantee lasts a lifetime.
