FAQS

There are several heal stages in the post hair transplant. During one of those stages you will see that there is a hair loss. Nevertheless, this is temporal, totally normal and predictable, being part of the natural process of skin remodeling. The hair is transplanted by extracting little follicle groups from the donor area and relocating them in the desire zones. But the extraction produces a little trauma in the scalp and the follicles. This shock produces a reset in the growing process of the follicles. During this period, initially there will be a more pronounced fall of hair. Then, when de shock is gone, the follicles will generate again new hairs.

The hair has always had a cultural, aesthetic and social value, which affects in the self-esteem and security of each person. Previously 50% of the male population over 50 years old, had baldness. It has been seen how increasingly younger patients suffer from the impact of this disease. This is why the age, as well as the level of baldness to start a capillary micrograft is at the consideration of the legal age patient, following medical recommendation

The individual assessment is essential to determine if you are a good candidate or not, to undergo the intervention. For example, some people with determined health issues may not get a good result in long term after undergo to a hair transplant satisfactorily done. The medical history is very important for that person. As well as having enough donor area to carry out the intervention. Some people may not be good candidates to undergo the intervention because they have unrealistic expectations about the results to be obtained. This is why an expert opinion is required through a previous assessment. In addition to the possibility of using protheses, in extreme cases.

Pain threshold depends on each person. Local anesthesia is administrated during the intervention to numb the are to intervene. This injections with which anesthesia is administrated can be a little painful but it is momentary. Once the effect of anesthesia is established, you should not feel any pain or discomfort related to the transplant. Additionally, it avoids having discomfort in the hours after the intervention. In the post procedure, analgesics are use to reduce the painful sensation, this being almost imperceptible.

Although it can last from 4 to 8 hours at most, this depends on the number of grafts to be placed, in this time the patient can sleep, watch a movie, read, relax, listen to music, etc.

The success of capillary micrograft by using grafts of 1, 2 and 3 hairs per follicular unit, allows us to achieve a natural appearance, almost as if the hair had always been in the area where it was placed.

The genetic information is different in the donor area, which is maintained even after the hair has been transplanted, therefore it will grow the same as in its place of origin.

Being under the effect of local anesthesia, the procedure is painless, only the application of the anesthetic agent can be uncomfortable.

Bu using only grafts of 1, 2 and 3 hairs, a natural appearance is allowed, some patients say that “it is as if the hair had always been there”

Like any process where incisions are made in the skin, healing occurs with small scabs, which fall from the 4th day, taking an average of 15 days to fall completely. It is very important not to remove them, but to let them fall on their own, to prevent graft loss

Adults can have a hair transplant. It depends mainly on the quality and quantity of hair in the donor and recipient area. And the impact that hair loss has on the self-esteem of the adult.

Currently, the most widespread techniques are: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique: Minimally invasive extraction technique of the follicular units is obtained individually by cutting with. “punch” which is a microtube of .88 mm in diameter, which allows cutting the means of holding the hair in order to place it where necessary. Among its advantages is that it does not require suture and that the wounds that occur heal without leaving a visible scar as in the FUSS technique. Greater delay in time and a good donor area is required to be performed. FUSS technique. The option with medium to poor donor areas, which allows us to obtain a strip of scalp 1 cm wide by the length that is required and without affecting the patient. Higher speed and shorted procedure time. While the bulbs wait to be implanted, they are kept in a temperature-controlled solution, which allows them to be preserved outside the body. The grafting process is the same in both techniques, using implanting pens that deposit the graft at the destination without the need to suture it to keep it in the place, as well as less damage to the hair bulb than with other insertion techniques.

It depends on the case of each person, we limit our sessions to 3000 grafts, to avoid prolonging the procedure time, it can be done as many as the donor area allows without causing damage to it.

In the first instance, some edema (swelling) is noticed in the manipulated areas, the next day the appearance of scabs begins in the donor and grafted area, which gradually falls completely in an average of 15 days, depending on the healing rate of the patient. In recovery, what gives us a better prognosis is the mood of the patient himself, since we have had some patients who resume their office activities the day after the procedure without any problem and others who decide to stay at home for about three days. Analgesics are very helpful and allow the post-procedure to be quite bearable.

The increase or improvement of capillary density is gradual and progressive, slowly the growth is seen without the change being very abrupt.

The hair of the donor area is normally thicker than the one of the receiving area, however, they perfectly blend allowing only the increase in density in the area to be appreciated.

The price depends on the follicles to be transplanted.

From the 3rd month a change will be visible, however the total number of grafts grows until the year of the procedure.

Like any wound, it requires 7 days for the extern skin to heal, however the internal remodeling of the skin takes longer. This is why the time between procedures is ideal until after a year, and can be reduced depending on the individual case.

We can use hair from areas with adequate genetic programming, such as the nape and sides of the scalp. In extreme cases, the BHT (Body Hair Transplant) technique can be used to obtain follicular units from the chest, arms, legs and pubic region
