A hair transplant in Djerba, designed for Europe
On the island of Djerba, Dr Khalil El Cadhi — full member of the ISHRS — welcomes patients from France, Belgium, Switzerland and across the Maghreb at his Dar el Hakim clinic. Hair restoration surgery delivered to international standards, in French and English, less than three hours’ flight from Paris.
Straightforward logistics from Europe
Djerba-Zarzis International Airport (DJE) has direct connections to several European cities, with regular flights from Paris, Lyon, Brussels and Geneva. Most patients plan their procedure around a two- to three-night stay: consultation and planning on day one, the procedure the next day, and a check-up before departure.
The team supports each patient with the practical side of the trip — airport transfer, nearby accommodation and a pace suited to surgery performed under local anaesthetic. The island’s Mediterranean setting offers a calm environment for the first days after the procedure, when rest and protection of the scalp matter most.
From first analysis to remote follow-up
Everything begins with a scalp assessment. Using ScanScalp.ai, Dr El Cadhi measures the density of the donor area, maps the zones to be treated and estimates the number of grafts genuinely required — without commercial overstatement. The hairline design and graft distribution are discussed with the patient before any decision.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, using Long Hair FUE, classic FUE or DHI depending on the chosen indication. The ForceHT protocol governs graft preservation throughout. A first check-up the following day confirms healthy progress before departure. Follow-up then continues by video consultation, in French or English, across the whole regrowth period.
“Every scalp tells a different story. My job is to answer it with a tailored plan, never a standardised package.”
Long Hair FUE, no shaving
Dr El Cadhi performs Long Hair FUE, which preserves the length of the harvested hair. An approach mastered by relatively few surgeons, particularly suited to patients who prefer not to shave.

For the French- and English-speaking diaspora, Djerba combines accessibility with continuity of care. Pre- and post-operative exchanges take place in French or English, and video follow-up remains possible from anywhere in Europe.
FUE in detailForceHT & ScanScalp.ai
Scalp analysis relies on ScanScalp.ai to objectively assess density and plan the harvest, while the ForceHT protocol aims to preserve graft viability during the procedure.

Most patients plan a two- to three-night stay: consultation and planning, then the procedure the next day and a check-up before departure. Follow-up then continues remotely, in French or English.

Djerba-Zarzis Airport (DJE) offers direct flights from several European cities. The team arranges the transfer to the Dar el Hakim clinic and recommends nearby accommodation.

+ Which technique does Dr El Cadhi favour?
The choice — FUE, DHI or Long Hair FUE — depends on the individual scalp assessment and the patient’s goals. It is discussed in consultation, never applied by default.
+ When is the best time to come to Djerba?
The procedure can be planned year-round. The island’s mild climate outside the summer offers comfortable conditions for post-operative rest, but no season is contraindicated.
