Recovery After Your Surgery
Your recovery happens in stages. Here’s what to expect:
First Week
You’ll head home the same day as your procedure. Your scalp will feel tender and a bit tight – totally normal. We’ll give you special instructions for sleeping with your head elevated the first few nights. The tiny scabs around each transplant will be visible, but most people can cover them with their existing hair. No washing your hair for the first few days, then we’ll show you a gentle technique to keep everything clean.
Weeks 2-3
Most people are back at work now – any redness has faded significantly. The transplanted hair will start to shed – don’t worry, this is actually part of the process! The roots are still there, just taking a break before growing new hair. Your donor area is healing nicely, and you can start getting back to normal hair care routines.
Months 1-3
Now life’s pretty much back to normal! The transplanted areas might look a bit sparse as those hairs are in their resting phase. But under the surface, good things are happening. Around month 3, you’ll start seeing tiny new hairs sprouting. It’s exciting when you spot those first few new growths!
Long-term Results
The real transformation happens between months 6-12. New hair grows in gradually – just like natural hair growth. By month 12, you’re seeing the full results, with hair that looks and feels completely natural. You can style it any way you like, and nobody can tell you’ve had anything done. Most patients tell us the wait was totally worth it for results that last.
FAQs – Here we answer your common questions about Hair Implants
Find out more about how we make your medical journey smooth and stress-free.
Hair implants are typically permanent, as the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to balding. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Hair implants can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence by restoring a natural-looking hairline and improving your overall appearance.
Hair implant procedures are usually outpatient, meaning you can go home the same day. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts.
Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks, during which time any swelling or redness should subside. Full recovery and optimal hair growth can take several months.
Most people can return to work within 1-2 days after the procedure, though those with more physically demanding jobs might need a few extra days of rest.
Hair implant surgery is generally not very painful. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Hair implant surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, which should be discussed with your surgeon.
Many patients find hair implants worth it due to the significant improvement in appearance and self-confidence. The decision is personal and should be made after thorough consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon.
Hair implants can leave minor scars at the donor site, but these are usually small and well-hidden. The use of advanced techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) can minimize visible scarring.
Hair implants in Latin America can start at $1,500–$3,000 USD, depending on graft count and technique; up to 70% less than in the US or Europe.
Yes. We work exclusively with licensed, board-certified surgeons who specialize in FUE and FUT techniques using sterilized, advanced equipment.
FUE removes individual follicles for minimal scarring and faster healing, while FUT extracts a strip of hair-bearing skin. Both methods are effective based on patient needs.
Most patients return to light activity within a few days. Full results take 6–12 months as transplanted hair grows in naturally.
Typically, no. One procedure is often enough. However, optional follow-up sessions or PRP boosters can be scheduled if desired.
