There is no age limit, there are patients who got hair transplants from the age of 20, up to 90 years.
Itâs mandatory that the donor area (nape) is shaved at number 0. Although much depends on the look that the patient wears, the most usual is to use a military-type cut (short cap), where the top (area to be transplanted) doesnât need to be cut, and the donor area is shaved. You can also make a curtain cut, ideal for people with straight and long hair, where the donor area is shaved to 0, but with the length of the hair the shaved area is covered, leaving it imperceptible.
The final result is achieved on average after 12 months. However, from the 2nd week we can already see the effectiveness of the hair transplant by observing a very firm and growing âcarpet of little hairsâ.
Specialists make sure that the transplanted hair has a 100% natural appearance.
Hair transplantation is permanent.
Controlling all the variables inside the procedure room so the transplant suffers the least possible stress, we have an effectiveness of 99%.
The duration of a procedure session varies from 4 to 7 hours, however, to achieve the best final result we never exceed 8 hours.
Discontinue any type of hair treatment /product such as: shampoos, lotions, pills, multivitamins. Also discontinue the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for some other medical reason, and the use of anticoagulants. Donât consume alcoholic beverages, or tobacco 24 hours before, and start drinking arnica tea, which helps with the anti-inflammatory process.
No, it can be performed on both men and women, the important thing is a good and correct evaluation by the specialist doctor.
Although this varies depending on the pain threshold of each patient, in general terms itâs a procedure that for most is zero painful, even the placement of anesthesia is tolerable.
The type of anesthesia used is local. Only the area where we are going to work (donor area and implantation area) is put to sleep. During the procedure, patients are awake, relaxed, reading, listening to music, some even fall asleep.
There are no complications, no infections, no bleeding, no scars and no permanent marks on the skin.
The only âadverse effectâ that could occur is swelling in the forehead, face, and eyelids after the procedure due to anesthesia, however, itâs completely normal, since the liquid will be absorbed by the body and that doesnât cause any risk, nor harm.
Itâs important to review after 5 days of the procedure, to evaluate resuming daily activities at 100%, including exercise.
Completely horizontal, there is no need to sleep sitting, or sideways.
