Is a hair transplant painful?
Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive surgery that, performed in the operating room by an expert surgeon, is a painless procedure since the patient is sedated and anesthetized, so that anxiety and discomfort disappear.
For example, in our Hair Transplant FUE the patient is asleep under local anesthesia and sedation before anesthetizing the scalp, so you will not feel discomfort until the effects of both pass, once the procedure ends. Postoperative care is very simple and painless.
Does hair transplant scars leave scars?
With our FUE - FUEI Hair Transplant procedure, absolutely natural results are obtained, invaluable for others; not only that, but we can hide scars on the scalp from accidents or other transplants performed with ancient techniques such as the FUT (which used to leave large scars on the back of the scalp).
These scars appeared by the type of Technique: a process of extracting a strip of tissue from the scalp that was subsequently prepared and cut into smaller follicles that would later be transplanted. By the time a strip of tissue is removed, there may be a large scar on the back of the head.
However, the FUE technique leaves no scars since the follicles are extracted individually by means of a specialized extraction tool.
Recovery time after a hair transplant
As in the many surgical procedures, after a hair transplant it takes a few days to recover. Our advice is to take between 7 and 14 days off (depending on the size of the procedure performed and the individual characteristics of the patient).
Who can undergo a hair transplant?
To be a suitable candidate for a successful hair transplant it is necessary to have enough donor area, that is, enough hair on the back of the scalp, which is the one that will be transplanted to the areas of bald or receiving areas of the head.
For those who have extremely thin hair and do not have enough hair in the donor area, we offer other treatments for Hair Reconstruction.
Is the transplanted hair permanent?
Currently, hair transplantation is the most permanent hair reconstruction solution that exists.
All our hair transplants are studied in detail. We use donor hair from the back of the scalp or safety zone; once transplanted those follicles will continue to grow as they would in the back of the scalp. This hair comes from the safety zone, genetically programmed hair to not fall and stay permanently on your scalp, now your pattern of loss will continue that of non-transplanted follicles, therefore you must maintain donor area to be able to perform in the future another transplant if needed and depending on your age and individual characteristics.
Is the hair transplant out of my reach?
The cost of hair transplantation is often related to rich, famous and soccer players, but it is a mistake; Nowadays, a hair transplant is available to anyone.
Keep in mind that the price of a hair transplant is unique, while other treatments such as drugs and shampoos are items that will always have to be purchased, so the cost can increase dramatically.
