What techniques are available?
Currently, there are three types of hair implants in Mexico techniques: FUT, FUE, and DHI. All three offer excellent results. The choice of technique depends on your specific case, so the evaluation of a specialist is essential.
Should I choose FUT or FUE?
FUT, Follicular Unit Transplantation, or strip technique, is the oldest and gets its name because a strip of scalp is removed to obtain the hair follicles that will be implanted in the recipient area. It is a method that allows for many follicles to be obtained and to treat a large surface area. However, the extraction involves cutting skin and blood vessels, making it potentially painful and leaving a horizontal scar on the back of the neck.
On the other hand, the FUE technique, Follicular Unit Extraction, as the name suggests, involves the extraction of follicular units from the donor area and then implanting them in the recipient area. These units are small pieces of tissue with hair follicles that undergo treatment before being grafted into a natural pattern, with small and invisible scars. However, the treatment of the follicles reduces their survival rate, and small holes must be made to graft them, making it a painful process.
Both techniques provide favorable results, but the choice between FUT and FUE should be based on the evaluation of the specialist, as well as the patient´s needs and goals.
What is hair transplantation with the DHI technique?
Direct Hair Implantation, or DHI, involves the manual extraction of follicular units, which are then directly implanted in the recipient area using an implantation pen.
In this method, extraction and implantation are done in a single session, minimally invasive, almost painless, with natural results, no scars, and minimal discomfort.
Will they transplant grafts or follicles?
Grafts are formed by follicular units that have one to five hairs. During the transplant, the follicular units are grouped according to the number of hairs and implanted in the recipient area.
How can I determine how many follicles I need?
The number of follicular units to transplant depends on factors such as the type of baldness, available hair, and areas affected by alopecia. It might be thought that more hair loss requires more follicles, but the suitability of donor follicles, potential future hair loss, among other factors, must be determined.
To determine the necessary follicles for transplantation, a specialist’s evaluation is needed to analyze the most critical factors for a successful implant with satisfying results for the patient.
What is the best age for a hair transplant?
In general, the age range for hair implants is between 18 and 80 years. It is most recommended between 30 and 40 years, depending on factors such as the type of alopecia and its stabilization. Once again, the importance of the specialist’s evaluation is emphasized to determine the best time for a transplant.
How many hairs or follicles will be transplanted?
The specialist will assess the amount of hair and follicles to be grafted depending on the degree of baldness, hair density in the donor area, and the size of the recipient area.
What density will I have in my transplanted hair?
Hair density is measured by the number of follicular units (FU) per square centimeter. Starting from 40 lost FUs, bald areas begin to appear on the head. Therefore, grafts cover between 45 FUs and 60 FUs per square centimeter for natural looking results.
Where will the follicles be taken from?
Generally, healthy follicular units are extracted from the back of the head or the donor area because the hair in that area is stronger and genetically programmed to continue growing, and it does not tend to miniaturize over time. This way, the transplanted hair will look natural and continue to grow.
What size will my donor area be?
The donor area, from which follicular units are extracted, usually covers the temporal and occipital part of the scalp, from the ear line to the back of the neck. The extent of this area depends on the patient’s needs.
Is it safe to transplant more than 2000 follicles at once?
Yes, the hair implants in Mexico procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and can be done in a single session.
Is it guaranteed that the hair transplant will work?
Generally, hair implants in Tijuana have high success rates because they are done with autologous grafts, or the patient’s own. This increases the chances of success since there is no risk of rejection, and the risk of infections is very low.
How fast does transplanted hair grow after a hair transplant?
Generally, transplanted hair takes about twelve months to fully develop. Hair growth from the transplanted follicles begins in the first three months, and a noticeable aesthetic change can be seen at six months. However, the final result will be seen after the first year, as the follicles will have fully integrated.
Who performs my hair transplant?
Hair transplants are performed by specialists in hair grafts, and during the procedure, they may have assistants.
Who designs my hairline?
The hair transplant specialist designs the hairline based on the patient’s gender, facial anatomy, degree of alopecia, and the desired results.
What complications can arise?
In general, hair transplantation is a safe procedure, but like any intervention, there may be risks such as:
How many sessions are necessary?
Thanks to hair graft techniques like DHI, up to three thousand follicular units can be implanted in a single session, with adequate density and a natural aesthetic appearance.
What is the success rate?
Hair transplanted using techniques like FUT, FUE, and DHI does not fall out again. The extraction of follicular units is done in hidden areas that do not compromise the patient’s appearance. Additionally, transplanted hair has genetic information predisposing it to grow, unaffected by hormonal changes or alopecia. Therefore, the success rate of a hair transplant is over 95%.
Are hair transplants safe in Tijuana, Mexico?
Yes. At the HairFix Mexico hair restoration clinic, we comply with safety protocols and the necessary permits to provide the best care to our patients. Our specialists have medical training, undergraduate degrees, diplomas, and certifications to support their expertise.
How much free time do I need to consider for a hair transplant in Mexico?
In general, the hair transplant process is safe, and recovery is immediate. However, it is recommended to take at least one day off to allow discomforts, such as itching and burning from the procedure.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes. At HairFix, we provide online consultations through platforms such as Zoom, WhatsApp, Facetime, Skype, or Google Hangouts. In both in-person and online modalities, consultations are free and without obligation.
What will the process be like, from confirming my appointment to returning home?
When you attend a consultation, our specialists will assess your case using a dermatoscope to identify areas affected by alopecia and other hair conditions. They will also administer a questionnaire to understand your overall health.
Once the diagnosis is made and the budget is accepted, our specialists will create the design for the hair transplant based on facial structure and patient expectations. This design will show the areas to be covered with the graft.
In case it would be necessary, the specialists will suggest a treatment plan to restore the patient’s hair and achieve better results.
