Hair Micro-Transplant

Microtransplante

Hair loss or androgenic alopecia is basically caused by a combination of inheritance, androgynous and time. As a general rule, the younger you start losing hair, the more severe the condition.

Who are the best candidates for a hair micro transplant?

We should point out that for the hair micro transplant techniques, your own hair will be used and therfore each case should be individually assessed.

Planning your Surgery

Hair micro transplant is an individualized surgery. during your first appointment, the doctor will assess your current status and the probable evolution to plan the most suitable treatment sequence. She/he will also respond to your doubts and will indicate the reasonable expectations you may have for the final result of the treatment.

The surgery:

EHair micro transplant implies removing follicles or bulbs – hair roots – from the back or the sides of your head, to obtain hundreds of one- to- five hair-micrografts. They will be placed in a previously marked area in the upper region through micro-incisions with a graft in each of them; this implant is performed with needles of different size, as asymmetrically as possible, in order to obtain a more natural result.

Once the session is over, the scalp is covered with damp gauze and a bandage for 48 hours, or simple with a protective gel, depending on the extent of the procedure.

Anesthesia:

Hair micro-transplant requires local anesthesia and intravenous sedation so that the patient can feel relaxed and comfortable.

Hospitalization:

It is an ambulatory surgery performed in a consulting room.

Recovery:

In general terms, you can resume your (sedentary) working activities within three or five days after the operation.
Scabs will typically fall off in 15 days and during this period you should avoid sports, or the sun, going to the swimming pool or the beach.
This surgery does not leave scars.

Duration if the operation:

The length of the surgery will depend on the number of grafts.

In a long session, lasting 2-3 hours, doctors may make 1000 -2000 micro grafts.

Results:

Your hair will grow again three months after the implant and you can have it cut and combed as usual. You can wash your hair one day after the operation.

Your hair will continue growing and it won’t fall again.
