It is a 1-day surgical procedure, minimally invasive and under local anesthesia, performed by specialized doctors and nurses, in which follicular units are removed from the donor area (occipital and lateral) and, after being properly categorized, are implanted in the recipient area (entries, top and crown).
The technique used is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), because it is the one that promotes more natural results and does not cause large scars. It is a totally painless procedure, performed under local anesthesia.

Diagnosis and pre-surgical consultation
The patient’s scalp is analyzed, as well as the quality of the hair. Next, a drawing is made with the simulation of the implanted area, in order to determine the number of follicles that can be extracted safely and without compromising the donor area’s appearance.
The pre-surgical appointment is made by the doctor to know the patient’s medical history, to know if there are any contraindications and also to request blood tests to certify the general health condition.

Hair Transplant
After applying local anesthesia, the treatment begins with the extraction of the follicular units, one by one.
They are carefully evaluated, separated and quantified under a microscope for implantation in the areas where the patient wants to have hair.
The last step is the implantation, which consists in placing the follicular units in a unitary way in the receptor area.
During the surgery, the patient is explained all the precautions that must be strictly followed in the first month, including moisturizing the follicular units, so that the desired results can be achieved.
-
Follow-up
On the 5th day the patient is re-evaluated at the clinic and the first scalp wash is performed.
Since the transplant result is progressive, medical consultations are held at the 1st, 6th, 12th, and 18th months, when the final result will be visible.
