Transplantes Capilares

What is a hair transplant?

A Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive medical treatment, which consists of the progressive implantation of hair. It is a procedure where hair is removed from certain areas where it is less prone to falling out, such as the sides of the head and the nape of the neck (donor areas), and transferred to areas typically affected by baldness (recipient areas).

Hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. After the hair transplant, the hair will remain in the recipient areas for the same period as it would have remained in its original location, preserving the same color and the same characteristics of its original area.

The result of the hair transplant is definitive and highly satisfactory, as the extracted roots grow naturally in their new location.

Fue hair transplant is available for both men and women with healthy hair. You must take into account the size of the area to be treated: the size of the bald area or very thin hair will determine the number of follicles that will be needed for natural coverage.

People who can benefit from hair transplant are:

– Individuals suffering from progressive hair loss, whether male or female, with advanced or medium degree of baldness;

– Individuals with hair loss due to existing scars or burns;

– Individuals with scalp pathology, after medical stabilization of the same.

How is a Hair Transplant carried out?

Imagem representativa da primeira fase de como é realizado um transplante capilar - avaliação e preparação

Hair Assessment and Preparation

In this consultation, the trichology specialist will analyze the patient’s scalp and hair using a trichoscope, in order to assess the feasibility of the procedure. On the other hand, this specialist will also study hair implantation lines to understand the best method to be carried out. Preparation for hair transplantation is generally simple and only requires a few blood tests to ensure the safety of the procedure.

Hair Transplant

On the day of the intervention, the extraction and follicular implantation zones are outlined. Then the doctor administers local anesthesia and the individual follicular extraction begins. After this, the follicles are implanted in the areas where the patient intends to have hair.

Head Washing

5 days after the hair transplant, the patient is reassessed at one of the MediCapilar clinics and the first scalp wash is performed.

Follow-up Appointments

On the 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th months, medical consultations are held to observe the patient’s evolution. The result of the hair transplant is progressive, and the results are visible from the fourth month onwards.

Hair Transplant Phases

Regarding the intervention phase, this will be held in 6 steps:

1. Identification of donor zones (area of healthy follicles) and recipient zones (areas affected by hair loss);

Aplicação de anestesia local na área dadora

2. Application of local anesthesia in the donor area;

3. Small incision around the healthy follicles;

4. Follicular unit extraction;

5. Harvest and preservation;

Hair Transplant Surgery: What to Expect

Fue Hair Transplant Pre Care

Preoperative exams

The preoperative period is generally simple and only requires blood tests to guarantee the safety of the procedure. The results are essential to assess the feasibility of the surgery, as well as to adequately prepare the anesthesia process.

Alimentação e Medicação

Nos 3 dias anteriores, deve evitar a ingestão de bebidas alcoólicas e bebidas com cafeína. Pequeno-almoço reforçado no dia da Cirurgia. Não tome medicação que o médico tenha aconselhado a suspender ou qualquer outra medicação sem que tenha falado com o apoio clínico.

Novos sintomas

Deve comunicar de imediato à equipa médica qualquer alteração ao seu estado de saúde ou sintomas que possam surgir nos dias prévios ao transplante, uma vez que pode ser necessário algum exame adicional, medicação, ou reajuste da data da cirurgia.

Post Fue Hair Transplant Care

Protection and hydration of the intervened area

From the day of your hair transplant and for the following 5 days, you cannot lean on or touch the implantation area. Therefore, you should be careful when getting in/out of the car and sleep with a travel pillow to facilitate the adoption of the recommended positions, allowing for greater comfort during recovery.

It is during this period that the anesthesia drains, and you should rest and remain lying down or sitting with your head tilted back.

Medication and Nutrition

Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking and taking any type of narcotics for the following 4 days. At the time of medical discharge, the medical team will give you the necessary drugs for that same day and a medical prescription to access the rest of the medication. You must take all medication as prescribed by your doctor.

Postoperative follow-up

The follow-up of your transplant is done by the clinical team through photographs that you will send us and face-to-face consultations that take place in the 1st month, 6th month, 12th month and 18th month after your hair transplant.

Other Recommendations

During the first 15 days, the practice of physical exercise or any other activity that involves excessive perspiration and direct exposure to the sun is not advisable.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hair Transplant

How does the Hair Transplant work?

The Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive medical treatment which consists of the progressive implantation of hair. It is a procedure where hair is removed from certain areas less prone to falling out, such as the sides of the head and the nape of the neck (donor areas), and transferred to areas typically affected by baldness (recipient areas).

Does hair transplant hurt?

The hair transplant it’s painless and the least invasive as possible. It is performed under local anesthesia and the recovery is fast.

Is the Hair Transplant definitive?

Hair Transplantation is the most effective treatment for Baldness/Alopecia.
The transplanted follicles will never die. These are not influenced by male hormones (androgens) and genetics, which are primarily responsible for alopecia. This happens because the follicular units are taken from specific areas of the head (lateral and posterior), which do not contain receptors for the androgen testosterone/dihydrotestosterone (hormones responsible for the early death of the follicular units).
This is how the hair transplant allows the implantation of hair in a permanent and lasting way.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the type and degree of baldness. However, hair transplantation with the FUE method is done in one day, lasting an average of 7 hours.

When do I start to see the result of the Hair Transplant?

About 90% percent of hairs will fall out in the first 3 to 5 weeks. This is a natural process that happens after a hair transplant. After four months, the “new” hair will grow.

On average, your hair will grow 1cm per month. After six months, the patient already begins to notice a significant difference.

12 months after the hair transplant, the final result is already visible in the frontal hairline and receding hairline.

At 18 months, the result is definitive in the entire transplanted area.

How long does transplanted hair last? Will it look natural?

Virtually all (95%) of the transplanted hairs last for the rest of the patient’s life, as long as follow-up and postoperative treatment are maintained in a trichology consultation. As previously mentioned, it is expected that your hair will grow with a natural and uniform appearance.

Does hair grow back in the "donor" area?

Since the entire follicular unit is removed, it is not possible for hair to grow back at that point. However, the technique used on the Transplant is very precise and carried out in such a way that the overall density of the donor area is maintained.

What is the cost of a Hair Transplant?

If you want to know the price of a hair transplant, it fluctuates according to the degree of baldness of the patient, as well as the chosen process. Either due to payment options or even its final price, the entire process of a hair transplant can be “cheap”, in view of its benefit to the health and well-being of the patient..

What is the difference between Hair Transplant and Hair Implant?

In Hair Transplants, the follicles are taken from the same person and implanted in the necessary areas (most common and frequent method). The hair implant, on the other hand, presupposes the use of artificial hair strands in the “to be populated” area (less common, but in some cases it can be carried out).

What is the best Hair Transplant technique?

There are several hair transplant techniques that guarantee great results and practically invisible scars. At MediCapilar we use the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant Technique, the most effective technique worldwide with proven results.
