Hair Transplant: The definitive solution for hair loss

Ideal for advanced alopecia cases, this technique allows for up to 3500 follicular units to be transplanted. It is mainly used to cover areas without hair, making precise incisions with sapphire blades. Implantation is done using tweezers (TTC), offering greater precision. After the procedure, scabs form but disappear within 7 to 10 days. This technique is ideal for large areas due to its ability to cover extensive regions effectively.

More suitable for small cases or density improvement, this technique involves transplanting up to 2500 follicular units and is perfect for areas with existing hair. It uses an implanter pen operated by the surgeon to implant follicles directly without making cuts, making it less invasive. No scabs form, though mild redness may appear and fade quickly. This method is more subtle and clean, ideal for enhancing hair density in areas with some growth.

The transplanted hair growth becomes visible around 3 months, but the final result is usually seen between 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

The transplanted hair is permanent. It is an autograft that will retain all the characteristics of the donor area.

Sessions will vary depending on the type and degree of alopecia. For small areas of alopecia, a single session will be sufficient; for larger areas, between two and three sessions may be needed. The time between sessions will be determined by the patient.

Once the hair has grown, it behaves the same way as it did originally.

In the case of the FUE technique, scars are minimal and almost imperceptible, while the FUT technique may leave a more visible scar, although it is usually hidden under the hair.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the surgery. It is normal to experience some discomfort or sensitivity in the days following the procedure.

It is important to avoid direct sunlight, intense physical exercise, and the use of chemical products on the hair during the first few weeks. Additionally, the patient should follow the doctor's instructions regarding hair washing and care for the treated area.

Yes, it is possible to undergo more than one hair transplant if necessary. Some people require more than one session to achieve the desired result, depending on the extent of hair loss.

The risks associated with a hair transplant include:

• Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection in the areas where the hair follicles have been extracted or implanted.
• Swelling: Swelling is common in the forehead or scalp in the days following the procedure.
• Bleeding: Mild bleeding may occur in the treated areas after surgery.
• Scars: While the hair transplant usually leaves minimal scarring, there is a risk of visible scars, especially if the technique used is not appropriate.
• Loss of sensation: It is possible to experience a temporary loss of sensation in the treated area, which typically recovers over time.
• Hair loss (shock loss): It is possible for the transplanted hairs to fall out temporarily before starting to regrow, which is a normal part of the process.
• Unsatisfactory result: There is a risk that the results may not meet expectations in terms of density or distribution of the transplanted hair.

Yes, but the results will depend on the density and quality of the donor area. In some cases, it may be necessary to combine treatments to optimize the results.

In these cases, other donor areas, such as the beard or chest, can be considered, although these options have limitations.

Generally, you can wash it with specific products and gently starting from the second day, according to the clinic’s instructions.

Yes, treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or medications like minoxidil and finasteride can complement the transplant and stimulate hair growth.

Yes, but it is generally recommended to wait a few days and ensure that it does not put pressure on the treated area.
