Hair Transplant

Consulting Rooms

In our consulting rooms, not only will you receive the very best of our surgeons (specially trained in hair transplant surgery), but you will also be treated in a professional and conscientious manner; at the Clinical Capillary Institute you will never be just a number, but a person who deserves fair and honest treatment, and terrific results.

When you are contemplating the possibility of a hair transplant, our Doctors:

Will encourage you to exhaustively check the credentials and experience of our medical team.
Will show you real cases of patients who have placed their trust in us and you will be able to see the results achieved.
Will give you precise information about the theory and technique of the hair transplant that would be performed in your specific case.
Will take down your medical history to evaluate the possible causes for your hair loss.
Will carry out a detailed study of your baldness.
Will measure the elasticity of your scalp, the density, colour and calibre of hair from the donor site and the elasticity of the skin in the receptor site, in order to determine the number of grafts required for your alopecia.
Will advise you about your objectives and expectations for a solution to your alopecia.

Once it has been confirmed that you are a good candidate and you wish to proceed with the procedure, we will take the following steps:

1.) Pre-operatory

Prior to the intervention you will be taken for:

Analysis.
Electrocardiogram.
Thorax x-ray.

And you will have to do, or have done, the following:

Low frequency laser treatment.
Scalp exercises at home.

In relevant cases, it is extremely important to apply low frequency laser treatment to the donor and receptor sites, in order to condition the skin (which facilitates the extraction of the strip and the insertion of the hair grafts and above all reduces the post-operative scar pressure), likewise and for the same reasons, scalp exercises are important and we will show you how to do them at home for 15 minutes a day for the 15 days prior to the procedure.

These treatments increase the elasticity of the skin and favour the hair transplant.

2.) Intervention

The intervention is normally begun first thing in the morning and has a duration of between 6 to 8 hours (depending on the alopecic area), and is carried out under local anaesthetic or without sedation).

To follow, a strip of the scalp from the occipital area is taken from the donor site, from which micro-grafts are extracted using a stereomicroscope, which ensures precise incisions, avoiding the unnatural appearance of “doll’s hair”.

Once the required number of follicular units have been obtained, these will be homogenously implanted into the receptor site, using microsurgical scalpel and tweezers, which enable the surgeon to select the direction and inclination of the hair, in particular for the frontal anterior hairline and for the different areas of the crown.
The amount that can be implanted are between 1500 to 5000 hairs in one session, thanks to the help of a team of 3 to 5 trained assistance for this precise and meticulous work.
