Hair transplant for Bogotá patients: the short flight worth taking.
Our clinic is in Medellín, not Bogotá — and that is exactly why this page exists. Every week, patients from the capital take the 45-minute flight for physician-led FUE and DHI at our INVIMA-licensed clinic in El Poblado, from $1.40 USD per graft, and are home the next day.
Choose the surgeon, not the postcode.
A hair transplant is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase, and the result walks around on your head forever. When the right team is one short flight away, the flight is the smallest variable in the decision.
45 to 60 minutes in the air
Bogotá to Medellín is one of Latin America's busiest air routes, with direct flights every day. You land at José María Córdova (MDE) in Rionegro, 30 to 45 minutes from El Poblado depending on traffic.
A physician does the work
Your surgery is planned and performed by a physician from our team — not delegated to technicians. That is the difference you are flying for.
The same all-in pricing
From $1.40 USD per graft for FUE and DHI, $1.50 for women's cases, $1.70 for afro-textured hair — identical to what our international patients pay. See the full hair transplant cost table.
Built for a short stay
El Poblado has partner hotels a few minutes from the clinic, so one or two nights in Medellín stay simple.
Step one happens in Bogotá: the evaluation
You do not fly anywhere to find out whether you are a candidate. From home in Bogotá you send four photos (front, both sides, crown and the back of the head) through the free online evaluation or by WhatsApp. A physician reviews them — not a sales advisor — and replies with:
- Whether surgery makes sense for you now, or whether something should come first.
- The recommended technique (FUE, DHI or combined) and your estimated graft count.
- Your all-in price in writing, so you can compare it calmly with any quote you get in Bogotá.
If you want to talk it through, the follow-up call is virtual too. Only when the plan makes sense do you pick dates and book the flight.
One or two nights in Medellín, then home.
Most Bogotá patients fly in the evening before, have the procedure in the morning, rest, and fly home the following day. Your exact schedule is confirmed in your consultation.
Before you travel
Virtual evaluation from Bogotá, written plan and price, then you choose dates and book your own flight to MDE.
Arrival
Fly in the day before. Your driver on procedure day is included, and our concierge points you to partner hotels in El Poblado near the clinic.
Procedure day
In-person consultation, then the outpatient procedure under local anesthetic, performed by your physician. You walk out the same day.
Back to Bogotá
First wash at the clinic, then home. Controls at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 by photo and WhatsApp, in person only when it is worth the trip.
Traveling from Bogotá, answered.
Do you have a clinic in Bogotá?
No. Our only clinic is in El Poblado, Medellín, and we prefer to say that plainly rather than list a city we are not in. Your evaluation happens from home in Bogotá, and the trip to Medellín is part of what we help you plan.
How many days do I need in Medellín?
Most Bogotá patients plan one or two nights: arrive the day before, have the in-person consultation and the procedure, and fly home after the first check and wash at the clinic. Your exact schedule is confirmed in your consultation, before you book a flight.
Can I get my graft count and price without leaving Bogotá?
Yes. Upload your photos to the free online evaluation and a physician reviews them and replies with your candidacy, the recommended technique and an all-in price in writing. You only travel once the plan makes sense to you.
How soon after the procedure can I fly back?
The next day. A 45-minute flight is well within what a freshly transplanted scalp tolerates; you will fly with your aftercare kit and clear instructions, and your surgeon stays one WhatsApp message away.
What does it cost compared to clinics in Bogotá?
Our pricing is per graft and all-in: $1.40 USD for FUE and DHI, $1.50 for women's cases, $1.70 for afro-textured hair, confirmed in writing before you travel. Compare any Bogotá quote on the same three questions: who performs the surgery, what exactly is included, and is the clinic INVIMA licensed.
How do I get from the airport to the clinic?
Flights from Bogotá land at José María Córdova (MDE) in Rionegro, 30 to 45 minutes from El Poblado depending on traffic. Your driver on procedure day is included, and our concierge can arrange a private driver for the rest of your stay.
How do the follow-up controls work from Bogotá?
Your first wash happens at the clinic before you fly home. After that, controls at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 are handled by photo review and WhatsApp, and you are welcome in person any time you are in Medellín.
