This route works for some people

Not every case needs surgery, and you will hear so at the consultation, so no money is wasted. Below are the situations in which a transplant genuinely helps.

A man with thinning hair at a consultation: a case where a hair transplant helps

When surgery is worth it

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • A receding hairline
  • A high hairline
  • Insufficient hair density
  • Genetic traits of hair growth
  • Aftermath of a burn or an injury
  • Shedding post-illness
  • Hair loss from hormonal imbalance

Reading this and still guessing?

Only a number is needed from you. A coordinator gathers messenger photographs of the affected area, a doctor studies them and states whether a transplant would help. Free, and nothing is committed to.

Not the scalp alone. The same grafts from the back of the head, the same FUE method — only the treated area changes.

Beard transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

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

Grafts come from the donor area at the back of the head and are placed through micro-punctures of about 1 mm, leaving no scars. The doctor discusses the shape with you before surgery, taking your facial features into account. The transplanted hair grows for life, and the beard can be trimmed and styled as usual.

Eyebrow transplant

FUE, no incisions and no stitches

Your eyebrow shape is drawn by the surgeon at the initial consultation: you look through references side by side and the design takes your facial features into account. Hairs are placed at the right angle, so the brows look natural. It also helps where years of plucking stopped hair growth.

    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!

Queries we hear

We cover 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.

City Medical Centre doctors

Yes — City Medical Centre regularly treats patients from other cities and countries, starting with an online consultation.

Prices start at $2,200 (≈ €2,000) for FUE, $2,500 (≈ €2,250) for DHI, and $2,700 (≈ €2,450) for the combined method. Your final price is set after a free graft count and locked into the contract.

It takes just one day from start to finish, and you're free to go home afterward.

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 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.

Graft count is calculated by the doctor at no cost, based on an assessment of your donor zone.

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.

The clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on hair growth, stated in the contract.

It can all be checked

Zaragoza: the operation, the wait and the outcome

FUE and DHI are the two routes offered to a patient in Zaragoza, and both of them skip cuts and stitches, run on local anaesthesia and finish in one day, which is why they fit around normal commitments.

From home in Zaragoza you get the same first step as anyone: a free online consultation, photos of the thinning area for the doctor, and a count of the grafts. The clinic answers 24/7, and there is no charge for that conversation.

Recovery runs 0-10 days; the transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks and this frightens nobody who was warned; growth returns at 3-4 months, density at 6-9, the finished result at 12-18. A personal coordinator keeps photo control at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and the growth guarantee is for life.

Hair Transplant in Zaragoza: 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.

Dermatologist or plastic surgeon: what the Spanish programmes teach

In Spain a hair transplant sits between two medical specialties, and patients are sometimes unsure which kind of doctor they should expect. The official training programmes published in the BOE give a useful map. Dermatology and Venereology is a 4-year programme, and its text names clinical knowledge of trichology and techniques for studying hair among the aims of the fourth year, with alopecias listed among diseases of the skin appendages.

Plastic, Aesthetic and Reparative Surgery is a 5-year programme, and among its contents is plastic and aesthetic surgery of the scalp and the pilosebaceous system. Both routes therefore lead to the subject, from different directions. One doctor will have learned to diagnose why hair is lost, the other to move tissue. Neither title on its own tells you whether a given person is the right operator for your head.

That is why the useful question is not which specialty is better but how the doctor in front of you combines the two. Ask what drew them to hair, which techniques they use, and how they decide who is not a candidate. The clinic you are considering presents its team by name and by training, which includes a trichologist surgeon, a dermatovenereologist and a plastic surgeon, supported by assistants. Your free consultation is held with the person who will do the operating.

Order SND/1002/2024: why the specialty on the diploma matters

Order SND/1002/2024 of 18 September 2024, issued by the Ministry of Health, amends the rules on authorising health centres. A health-systems monitor summarises its aim: cosmetic surgery should be performed only by professionals who passed the residency in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery or another surgical or medical-surgical specialty that includes competencies in aesthetic surgery.

The order speaks of cosmetic surgery in general, and how it treats a hair transplant is not something that summary settles. The practical habit is the same either way. A general statement that someone is a doctor is not enough. Ask for the specialty by name, ask which training route leads to it, and ask to see the diploma. This clinic declares a medical licence and displays its doctors' qualification papers, so the request should be easy to satisfy, and it should be satisfied before any money changes hands.

If the answer is evasive, treat that as information. A clear answer comes with the specialty name and the diploma. Note what you were told, with the date, and compare it with the register entry described next.

Keep expectations realistic about what a register can tell you. It confirms who a person is and that they may practise; it does not measure how well they listen or how clearly they explain. For those qualities, rely on the consultation itself: whether questions get patient answers, whether the doctor will say no, and whether promises arrive in writing.

A three-step check against the public registers

Begin with the General Council of Medical Colleges, whose public register accepts a first name plus first surname or a college number; practising in Spain without registration is not permitted. Type the name as spelled by the coordinator, then write down the college shown and the specialty if one appears. Common surnames return several people, so add the second surname or use a college number if you have one.

Second, look at the local college. The Colegio de Médicos de Zaragoza shows a panel of registered members, the Buscador colegial, on its home page. The two sources should tell one story. When a name turns up in just one of them, put the discrepancy to the clinic and file its answer.

Third, put what you found beside what the clinic told you and what the diploma says. Three matching pieces of information are worth far more than one confident voice on a call. Save screenshots of the searches with the date, and keep them in the same folder as your photographs and the contract; if anything changes later you will know what was true on the day you decided.

Public cover and the contract: who pays, and for what

Article 5.4.a of Royal Decree 1030/2006 takes techniques aimed at leisure, rest, comfort, sport or aesthetic or cosmetic improvement out of the common services portfolio. Hair restoration done only for looks would fall under that wording. Whether your own situation is purely aesthetic is for the doctor to assess; if you hold a private policy, ask the insurer to state its position in writing, and file the reply.

With the clinic you sign a contract for paid medical services. Reserving a date takes a deposit, by card or online, and the document records each condition. The figure is determined once the doctor has counted grafts, and it does not change when you arrive. Scan the contract for four things: the technique named, what the sum covers, when the follow-up checks fall, and what happens if the plan has to change.

The city itself plays a small part here. The municipality counted 699,007 residents in 2025 and is the fourth most populous in Spain, a headcount that says nothing about any one surgeon. The answers that matter come from the documents above.

The consultation file: methods, candidacy and the year that follows

Assemble a small file ahead of the online consultation. Photograph thinning zones under daylight: top, front, each side, back. Add when the loss began, plus any illness or regular medication. The set goes to a coordinator through WhatsApp or Telegram, and a doctor tells you if grafts seem suitable. No fee applies and nothing is booked.

Prepare the questions you will ask at the opening conversation and write them down in advance. Which tests will I need and who reads the results? Who is present in theatre? Who checks the dressings, and how quickly can I reach someone if a crust looks wrong? What is in writing, and what only said aloud? Questions on paper are less likely to evaporate when the call begins, and the answers give you something to compare between providers.

Three technique options are described. In the first, forceps remove grafts one by one, which leaves no cuts and no stitches. The second relies on a Choi pen that implants directly, so channel preparation disappears. The third mixes them. Published survival and trauma percentages are averages quoted for guidance, and the doctor interprets them for you after a look at the donor area.

Transplants are recommended for androgenetic or diffuse alopecia, bald areas and a receding frontal edge. Patchy alopecia and loss that follows illness or hormonal changes sit on the opposite side of the ledger. Firm contraindications include a pacemaker, diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, hepatitis B or C, HIV, trichotillomania and age below 18.

The following year revolves around contact with your coordinator. Healing occupies 0 to 10 days, the shedding of grafted hairs happens at 2 to 4 weeks and is expected, growth restarts at 3 to 4 months, density builds at 6 to 9 months and the end result needs 12 to 18 months. Appointments fall at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months; instructions on washing, sleep and headwear cover the time between them.

Which doctors work with hair in Spain?

Dermatologists with trichology training and plastic surgeons both appear in the official training programmes. Ask your doctor for the specialty by name and check it in the register.

What does Order SND/1002/2024 change for a patient?

It aims to restrict cosmetic surgery to professionals who passed the residency in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery or another specialty with aesthetic competencies. How it applies to a hair transplant is not stated in that summary, so ask for the specialty and the diploma.

Where do I check a registration?

In the public register of the General Council of Medical Colleges, by first name and first surname or college number. The Colegio de Médicos de Zaragoza also lists its registered members on its home page.

Does Spain's health service pay for a cosmetic transplant?

A transplant done for aesthetic or cosmetic improvement falls outside it: Royal Decree 1030/2006 excludes such techniques from the common portfolio. Whether your case counts is for the doctor to judge.

Why should I save screenshots of the register searches?

They record what was true on the day you decided. Store them with the contract, the photographs and the clinic's written replies, so that any later question about who was registered, and for which specialty, has an answer on paper.

What if the register and the clinic give different information?

Ask the clinic to explain in writing before you pay a deposit, and do not proceed until the name, the specialty and the diploma agree.

Can I discuss a beard or eyebrow transplant in the same conversation?

Yes. Both use the FUE principle with grafts from the back of the head, and the doctor can cover them in the same consultation.

What should I ask the surgeon in the first conversation?

Which tests are needed and who reads them, who will be in the operating theatre, who checks the dressings, and how quickly someone can be reached if a crust or swelling looks wrong. Get the answers in writing.
