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, 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.

Eyebrow transplant

FUE method, free of cuts or stitches

The surgeon draws the eyebrow shape at the initial consultation: references are studied together and the design takes your facial features into account. The hairs are implanted at the natural angle of growth, so the eyebrows look natural. It also helps where years of plucking stopped growth.

Typical queries

Here is what people
ask before booking

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes, that works. Treatment is open to people from another town or another country, and an online talk with a doctor precedes it.

FUE is $2,200 (≈ ₦2,950,000), DHI is $2,500 (≈ ₦3,350,000), combined DHI+FUE is $2,700 (≈ ₦3,600,000). A free consultation with a graft count gives you the exact, contract-fixed price.

Patients need a single day, nothing more, before heading home.

Patients feel no pain: local anaesthesia takes care of that.

FUE is cut-free graft extraction by tweezer. DHI is direct implantation with a Choi pen, skipping channel-making. The combined technique takes grafts by FUE and places them using the DHI method.

A doctor will count them during the free consultation, using the donor zone as the basis for the total.

The wounds heal across 0–10 days. The drop-out of grafted hairs near 2–4 weeks is normal. Hair grows again from 3–4 months, looks heavy at 6–9 months, and the outcome is settled at 12–18 months.

A lifetime guarantee of hair growth is included, confirmed in your contract.

Hair restored: what Yenagoa patients can expect

It is a one-day matter for a patient in Yenagoa. FUE and DHI are done without any cut and without a single stitch, with local anaesthesia doing all the work, so nothing about it resembles major surgery.

One message is the whole beginning for a patient in Yenagoa. The online consultation is free, photographs of the thinning area go to the doctor, and the answer about a transplant follows. The clinic works 24/7.

It heals within 0-10 days, the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and this is the norm, growth appears at 3-4 months, density at 6-9 and the final result at 12-18. Along the way there are check-ups at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, photo tracking with a personal coordinator and a lifetime growth guarantee.

Hair Transplant in Yenagoa: price and what is included

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

Patient reviews

What patients write after this operation. Reviews are translated from the original language.

Andrey M.

I had the operation a month ago. Before and after surgery they were always in touch and helped with questions about my tests. The operation itself went wonderfully, the staff are polite and masters of their craft, you feel you are in safe hands. I am recovering now, and they answer all my questions. I am happy and I recommend them!

DHI hair transplant

Pavel Sinitsyn

The best clinic of all the ones I was choosing from. No regrets at all! The result is simply amazing, I am thrilled. I recommend it to everyone: these people do great work and make people happy. Once again, a huge thank you to everyone. Roman, the head of the clinic, is the best: he was personally in touch with me and looked after my recovery. Thank you for making my dream come true.

FUE hair transplant

Maria Akopyan

I thought about an eyebrow transplant for a long time and finally went for it. At first I was afraid the result would look unnatural, but when I saw my new eyebrows I was delighted! They came out full and in harmony with my face. I can hardly believe that now I just wash my face and go, I have never felt so free. For anyone tired of constant make-up, a transplant is a real lifesaver!

Eyebrow transplant (FUE)

Alexander M.

I really wanted a thick beard, but I had problems with it. I tried every home remedy and minoxidil, and nothing helped. After a long search for the best clinic I settled on this one. Thank you so much for the service, I liked everything and now I am happy! I had the beard transplant 10 months ago and I am very pleased with the result. By the way, the music in the clinic was great, as far as I remember. A friend of mine has already come to you for a transplant on my advice and was also happy with the result. I wish you every success!

Beard transplant (FUE)

Vladimir Z.

I went to the clinic to see a trichologist and had a hair transplant. I really liked the doctor's approach, and all the recommendations helped. I want to point out that nobody tries to sell you extra services: they tell you things as they are, and if some treatment is not needed, they do not push it. Cosy and clean.

DHI hair transplant

Artem Popov

This may sound obvious, but a head of hair really changes everything in your life. You feel much more confident and go through life like a winner. And it is all thanks to the doctor at this clinic and to the staff who take care of their patients. Many thanks to the clinic for a happy life with new hair, for the comfortable conditions and for the professionalism during the hair transplant.

FUE hair transplant

All patient reviews

Yenagoa and the question of hair restoration

Yenagoa is the capital of Bayelsa State in Southern Nigeria, in the Niger Delta. It is a Local Government Area with an area of 706 km2 and an estimated population of 798,466 as of 2024. Men here usually come to hair transplant planning after years of watching the hair line move back, the crown thin, or patches stay empty in the beard. Many of them first look for information on a phone, in the evening, after work.

Because the city is a state capital, many patients have office, civil service, business or trading schedules, and others study. They want to know when the procedure fits around a working month, what colleagues will notice, and when it is comfortable to appear in public again. This text is written for that situation: a person in Yenagoa who wants a clear, honest picture of FUE and DHI before making any decision.

City Medical Centre works with patients from Yenagoa through a free online consultation. You send photos, describe your history and goals, and a coordinator answers on Telegram or Telegram. Coordinators are available around the clock, 24/7, so you can write at a time that suits your own day.

Climate of Yenagoa and what it means for healing

Yenagoa sits in an area of swamps and mangrove tropical rainforest. The weather is humid all year round: the wet season is warm and cloudy, and the dry season is hot and mostly cloudy. The average annual temperature moves between 71 °F and 87 °F, rarely dropping below 63 °F or rising above 90 °F. There is no cold season to hide behind, so planning for heat and moisture is part of any recovery here.

After a hair transplant the scalp needs clean, calm conditions. Warm, damp air makes sweating easy, and sweat, dust and rain on a freshly treated scalp are things to manage, not ignore. Your surgeon will explain how to wash the area, what to avoid touching, and when normal washing can return. Follow those instructions exactly rather than copying advice from friends who had a different technique.

Cloud cover can feel reassuring, but ultraviolet light still reaches the scalp on hazy days. Early on, protect the treated area from direct sun with whatever headwear your surgeon approves, and ask whether it should be loose and clean so it does not rub the grafts. Treat this as a question for the consultation rather than guessing.

How FUE and DHI work, explained for a Yenagoa patient

In both methods, grafts are taken from the back of the head, the donor area, and moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over. FUE and DHI differ in how the grafts are placed, and the doctor will explain which fits your hair type, density and goals. That explanation is part of the free online consultation, not something you have to decide in advance.

The shape is discussed with you before the operation, taking your facial features into account. This matters for the front hair line, and equally for a beard or moustache. A natural result depends on the direction, angle and distribution of the hairs, not only on their number. Bring clear photos of how you looked at a younger age if you have them; they help set a realistic target.

Transplanted hair grows for life: trim and style the beard as usual. For a man in Yenagoa who shaves or trims regularly, that means ordinary grooming returns once the surgeon allows it, and you do not need to treat the new hair as fragile in the long run.

Planning around work, study and family life in Yenagoa

Yenagoa is an administrative and commercial centre, and many people here carry real responsibilities: office hours, meetings, classes, family obligations. The first stage of healing is 0–10 days, and that is when the scalp looks and feels most obviously treated. Plan that window for a time when you can stay home or keep contact with others to a minimum, and ask the surgeon what level of activity is reasonable.

Family events matter in Nigerian life: weddings, naming ceremonies, funerals, community gatherings and church or mosque occasions are often fixed dates. Choose your procedure date so that these events fall well after the early healing window. The later phases are slower and calmer, but visible change is gradual, so do not schedule the operation days before an important photograph and expect a finished result.

Be honest with your coordinator about your calendar. A good plan works backwards from your key dates, and you can discuss options for the best timing during the online consultation. If your schedule changes, tell the coordinator so the plan can be adjusted.

Season for the operation in a humid climate

Because Yenagoa has a wet season and a dry season, many patients ask which is better. Both have advantages. The dry season is hot and mostly cloudy, so sweating and sun exposure are the main concerns. The wet season is warm and cloudy, with more rain, humidity and the need to keep the scalp from getting soaked or dirty while commuting.

There is no single correct answer, and no season removes the need for care. Whichever you choose, think about your route to work or school, how much time you spend outdoors, whether you travel by motorbike, car or on foot, and whether you can keep the scalp covered and clean. Ask the surgeon how to protect the area in your exact daily routine.

Also consider the date of the final result. Hair keeps changing for months, so the season of the operation will not match the season in which you see the final look. That is normal, and it is better to choose a date based on your availability than on the weather alone.

Recovery timeline and what to expect

The overall course is: 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. Knowing this in advance prevents the most common anxiety, which comes at the shedding stage.

At 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs let go, as expected. Many people in Yenagoa who see this feel the operation failed, but it is a normal stage: the follicle remains and prepares for new growth. At 3-4 months hair comes back, at 6-9 months it looks visibly thicker, and at 12-18 months the look is settled.

One patient described it this way: the result truly made him very happy, with active, even growth beginning from about the 4th month. The transplanted hair took very well, the beard looked as natural as possible, no bald patches were left, and the beard became much thicker and denser, with the shape he had thought about for a long time. Individual results differ, so treat this as an example of the typical path, not a promise.

Throughout, we stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later, with check-ups at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12. You send photos at those points, the team reviews progress, and you can ask questions between check-ups. A coordinator will be on the phone 24/7.

Sport, sun, water and daily habits after surgery

Football is a strong part of local life in Yenagoa, and the city is home to men's and women's clubs that compete in national leagues. Many patients play casually or work out regularly and ask when they can return. The answer depends on your surgeon's instructions and your healing, not on a general rule. Sweat, impact and friction on the scalp all matter, so ask specifically about heading a ball, helmets, caps and contact games.

Water is another local reality. Yenagoa lies among swamps and waterways, and swimming, rivers or pools may be part of leisure. Do not enter pools, rivers or the sea until your surgeon confirms the scalp is ready, because the grafts and the micro-punctures need clean conditions. Ask the same question about heavy rain and shared showers.

Day to day, keep the scalp clean, avoid scratching, protect it from sun, and sleep in the position the surgeon recommends. If you wear a cap or hard hat for work, discuss with the doctor when it is acceptable and what type is safest. Smoking and heavy drinking can interfere with healing, so be open about your habits.

Yenagoa as the state capital: office life, civil service and a hair transplant schedule

Yenagoa is the capital of Bayelsa State, and that shapes who asks about hair transplant planning here. The city is the seat of state government, so many people work in ministries, agencies, offices and in the businesses that serve them. Dress codes, meetings and public-facing roles make a visible change in the hair line or beard a practical question as well as a personal one.

Local figures from politics and the petroleum sector, such as former ministers and governors from the area, are well known in the city. For ordinary professionals, that means a culture in which appearance and presentation count. A man in a formal role will want to know when the early healing stage of 0–10 days will be over before he plans a long meeting or a public ceremony.

Share your work pattern with the coordinator during the free online consultation. Someone with a desk job, someone who is often on site and someone who meets the public each need a different plan. The plan can be written around your own week, not around a standard template.

Swamps, mangroves and waterways: daily exposure to moisture and dust

Yenagoa lies in the Niger Delta among swamps and mangrove tropical rainforest. Rivers and creeks are part of everyday geography, so a patient may cross water, live near it or spend weekends beside it. Before the operation, ask the surgeon exactly when the scalp may meet river water, pool water or heavy rain. Do not rely on what a friend did after a different technique.

The area has about 706 km2 and many local communities around the city, from compact central areas to villages on its edges. A patient who lives in one of these smaller communities may have a longer daily routine on the road or on the water. Tell the coordinator about your usual movements, so the advice on covering the scalp, keeping it clean and washing after dusty or damp exposure fits your life.

Cloud is frequent in Yenagoa. The cloudier period lasts about 9.2 months and April is the cloudiest month, yet bright light still reaches the scalp through haze. Ask the surgeon which clean, loose headwear is acceptable for your first outings.

Football, community and public life after a transplant

Football is the city's shared language. Bayelsa United, the men's club, and Bayelsa Queens, the women's club, both won the 2021 Aiteo Cup, and match days draw crowds of fans. A man who plays on weekends, coaches youngsters or watches games in a crowded viewing centre should ask about sweat, sun, caps and physical contact before choosing his date.

If you play, do not decide the return date by yourself. Ask the surgeon about heading the ball, bumps to the head and long hours in the sun. Teammates are often direct in their comments, so decide in advance how much you want to say about the procedure.

Because shedding at 2-4 weeks is normal, you can plan a quieter spell for that period if you prefer less attention. The visible gain comes later, from 3-4 months and especially at 6-9 months, so a sporting season or a community event can be planned around those stages.

Languages, communities and how Yenagoa patients ask questions

Most of the local population is Ijaw, and English is the official language. Several local languages and dialects are spoken across the area, including Epie-Atissa and Ijaw varieties such as Ekpetiama, Gbarian, Buseni and Zarama. In a family setting, a decision about hair is often discussed in a mix of languages, with elders, spouses and friends all giving opinions.

You can write to the coordinator in clear English and take your time. If a relative wants to follow the plan, share the written explanation with them, so that the questions about the 1 mm micro-punctures, the donor area and the stages of growth are understood by everyone before you decide.

Many local questions concern the beard. A thin or patchy beard is a common wish for correction. The doctor discusses the shape with you beforehand, taking your facial features into account, and you can show photos of the style you want.

Food, health and who is a good candidate

Local food culture in the Niger Delta is rich in fish, starchy staples, vegetables and spicy soups. A balanced diet with enough protein supports healing, but there is no special food that replaces medical care. Do not start unverified supplements or herbal mixtures without asking the surgeon, because some products can affect bleeding or interact with medication.

General body health matters too. The WHO notes that obesity and overweight affect health in many ways, and good overall health helps any surgery go smoothly. Mention chronic conditions, blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, skin problems and any medicines you take during the consultation.

In general terms, a good candidate has enough healthy donor hair, realistic expectations and no active scalp disease. Caution is needed for people with unstable medical conditions, active infection in the scalp, a tendency to heavy scarring, or hair loss that is still changing rapidly and has not been assessed. Only the doctor can decide after reviewing your photos and history.

Can I have a consultation from Yenagoa without leaving home?

Yes. The consultation is free and online. You send photos and your history, and the coordinator replies on Telegram or Telegram. Coordinators are available around the clock, 24/7.

What is the difference between FUE and DHI?

Both take grafts from the donor area at the back of the head and place them through micro-punctures of about 1 mm. They differ in how the grafts are implanted. The doctor will explain which suits your hair and goals.

Will the donor area show scars?

The grafts are moved through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, so nothing scars over. Your doctor will explain what to expect in your case.

When does shedding happen and should I worry?

At 2-4 weeks the transplanted hairs let go, as expected. This is a normal stage. New growth starts around 3-4 months.

When will I see the result?

Hair comes back at 3-4 months, looks visibly thicker at 6-9 months, and the settled look comes at 12-18 months after surgery.

Is the humid climate of Yenagoa a problem for recovery?

It needs planning, not fear. Yenagoa is warm and humid all year, with temperatures usually between 71 °F and 87 °F. Keep the scalp clean, protect it from sun and dust, and follow the surgeon's washing and headwear advice.

Can I trim my beard normally after a beard transplant?

Transplanted hair grows for life: trim and style the beard as usual. Wait for your surgeon's clearance for the first grooming after the operation.

What support do I get after the operation?

We stay with you from pre-op planning to 12 months later. Check-ups take place at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12, and a coordinator will be on the phone 24/7.

Which questions should I ask the surgeon before deciding?

Ask about your donor area, the expected shape, the method suited to you, how to protect the scalp in humid weather, when you can return to work and sport, and what to do if you have concerns during recovery.

Is it better to plan a hair transplant in Yenagoa during the clearer months?

The clearer season runs from about November 17 to February 11, with December the clearest month. Clearer skies do not remove the need for sun protection, so the choice should rest mostly on your availability and the surgeon's advice.

I live near the water around Yenagoa. What should I ask the surgeon?

Ask when the scalp may come into contact with river water, pool water and heavy rain, and what to do if it gets wet or dusty early in healing. Describe your daily routine to the coordinator.

I play football in Yenagoa. When can I return?

The timing depends on your healing and the surgeon's instructions. Ask about heading the ball, caps, sweat and contact, and plan the date outside important matches.

Can I involve my family in the consultation?

Yes. You can share the written explanations from the coordinator with relatives. The consultation is free and online, and a coordinator is available 24/7.
