A hair transplant in Tunisia, the demanding way
Tunisia has established itself as a recognised medical destination. In Djerba, Dr Khalil El Cadhi — full member of the ISHRS, MBA from Paris-Dauphine — practises precise hair restoration surgery, supported in French and English and conducted to the strictest international standards.
An established medical destination
For years Tunisia has welcomed European and Maghreb patients for cosmetic and hair restoration procedures. Its proximity to Europe, its French-speaking medical staff and a cost of care below Western European levels explain this appeal — without the quality of the work having to suffer, provided the surgeon is properly trained and certified.
Dr El Cadhi built his path between the Faculty of Medicine in Sousse, an international fellowship alongside leading surgeons, and his admission as a full member of the ISHRS, the international society for hair restoration surgery. This ethical framework guides every step: individual assessment, honest patient information and no promise of results.
From consultation to lasting results
The journey begins with a consultation, in person or by video, during which Dr El Cadhi assesses the type of alopecia, the quality of the donor area and the patient’s expectations. ScanScalp.ai analysis objectively measures density and produces a per-graft costed plan, provided in writing.
On the day of the procedure, the work is carried out under local anaesthetic, using the chosen technique — Long Hair FUE, FUE or DHI. The following weeks see a temporary shedding of the implanted grafts, a normal phenomenon, before regrowth gradually sets in. Follow-up, provided remotely in French or English, supports the patient throughout this period, which generally spans several months.
“Tunisia has nothing to envy of the best destinations — provided you choose a surgeon who is trained, certified and transparent about their methods.”
Long Hair FUE
A no-shave technique that preserves the length of harvested hair, mastered by relatively few surgeons in Tunisia and beyond.

From classic FUE to direct DHI implantation with the Choi pen, the choice follows the indication and the goal, never applied by default.

A full member of the ISHRS, Dr El Cadhi applies the international rules: honest information, a written quote and no promise of results.
The surgeon’s pathBeyond the scalp
Beard and eyebrow transplants, women’s hair surgery and the repair of previous transplants are all part of the practice.
Repair a failed transplantHair transplant in Tunisia — your questions
+ Why choose Tunisia for a hair transplant?
Tunisia offers French-speaking care, direct proximity to Europe and a cost below Western European levels. Quality depends above all on the surgeon: training, certification and respect for an ethical framework.
+ How do I check a hair surgeon’s credentials?
Membership of a learned society such as the ISHRS, a traceable training path and transparent information (written quote, no promise of results) are reliable markers.
+ Where does the procedure take place?
In Djerba, at Dr El Cadhi’s Dar el Hakim clinic. Djerba-Zarzis Airport has direct connections to several European cities.
+ Is follow-up possible from abroad?
Yes, by video consultation in French or English, from France, Belgium, Switzerland or the Maghreb, throughout the regrowth period.
+ How long before I see a result?
Regrowth sets in gradually over several months after a temporary shedding of the implanted grafts. The pace varies with each patient’s individual profile.
+ What does a transplant in Tunisia cost?
Pricing is set per graft and communicated in a written quote before any decision. Details appear on the dedicated pricing page.
