Already coming to Cartagena? Add Medellín for your hair transplant.
We do not have a clinic in Cartagena. We are in El Poblado, Medellín, a direct flight of about an hour and a half away, where a physician plans and performs your FUE or DHI transplant at an INVIMA-licensed clinic for $1.40 USD per graft, all-in and in writing before you travel.
The coast for the holiday, Medellín for the procedure.
If Cartagena is already on your itinerary, you are a domestic flight away from our clinic. Plan the transplant from home, then add a short Medellín leg to the trip you were taking anyway.
Evaluate before you fly
Send your photos from home. A physician replies with your candidacy, technique, graft count and an all-in price in writing, so you arrive in Colombia with the plan approved.
One or two nights in Medellín
Daily direct flights from Cartagena take about 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. Most cases need one or two nights in Medellín, confirmed in your consultation.
Sequence it with your physician
Beach days before or after? Your physician tells you how to order the trip for your case, and your aftercare instructions cover the weeks after.
Follow-up after you fly home
First wash at the clinic before you leave, then controls at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 by photo and WhatsApp, wherever home is.
What you are flying to Medellín for
