Hair transplant in Colombia, your questions answered.
The questions patients ask us most, about the procedure, results, cost, candidacy, and traveling to Medellín. If yours is not here, message us on WhatsApp and a physician will answer it directly.
FUE, DHI, and how it works.
FUE or DHI, which do I need?
You do not have to decide. FUE harvests follicles one at a time and works for almost any case. DHI implants each follicle directly for very dense, precise placement, often at the hairline. The physician recommends the right blend of both for your goals and donor area in the free consultation. Read more on the FUE & DHI page.
Will the result look natural?
That is the whole job. Natural results come from hairline design and the angle, direction, and density each graft is placed at, which is why a physician plans and oversees your case rather than handing it to technicians. The before & after gallery shows real patients.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthetic, so you are awake but comfortable. Most patients describe mild soreness for a day or two afterward.
What to expect afterward.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
The transplanted follicles come from the back and sides of the scalp, which are naturally resistant to the hormone that causes pattern hair loss. Once they regrow, they are permanent. Existing non-transplanted hair can still thin over time, so the physician plans your case with that in mind.
How long until I see regrowth?
Transplanted hair sheds first, then regrows from around month three. Density builds through month twelve, which is when final results are typically judged.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients return to work within a few days. Visible scabbing in the treated area settles within about ten days.
Price, grafts, and whether it suits you.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts at $1.30 per graft. Most cases fall between 1,500 and 3,500 grafts depending on the area and the look you want. You get an exact, all-in quote after your consultation, confirmed before you travel, never on arrival.
Am I a good candidate?
The best candidates have a stable donor area and realistic goals. Some patterns of loss are better treated medically first, and some are not suited to a transplant at all. The free consultation exists to give you an honest answer either way.
Do you treat women and all hair types?
Yes. We have dedicated approaches for women's hair restoration and for Afro-textured hair, where technique matters most.
The trip, handled.
Is it safe to travel to Medellín?
Our clinic and partner hotels are in El Poblado, the safest and most international district in the city. A bilingual concierge handles your airport pickup and transfers. See the Medellín page for more on the trip.
How long do I need to stay?
For most cases, a day or two. The procedure is a single outpatient day and most patients fly home within 48 hours.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. Your consultation, your care, and your concierge support are all in English.
