Hair Graft in Argentina: Price, Advantages and More

 

Hair grafting in Argentina is one of the therapies most chosen by patients who, after several months without a solution, opt for effective therapy. These are people who searched for all kinds of hair loss solutions, trying countless alternative treatments and placing their trust in products of dubious origin.

 

Hair graft is carried out when you want to add more hair to an area where baldness may be proliferating. It is usually done by taking thicker parts of the scalp or other parts of the body and grafting it in that area where the patient's baldness is found.

 

Worldwide, about 60% of men and 50% of women experience some type of abnormal hair loss or alopecia. To address this, there are many products that work as conservative treatments although without results as effective as those obtained in hair graft clinics in Argentina.

 

How is a hair transplant in Argentina?

 

A hair transplant begins by taking hair from a certain area and transferring it to another region where there is no or less hair density. Generally, it is taken from the back of the head or side in men, which is where the hair remains strong and well-nourished. 

 

Likewise, hairs can also be extracted from other regions such as the back or thorax, which are then implanted in the head.

 

Before starting the transplant, the surgeon sterilizes the area where the hair will be removed and uses local anesthesia on the patient. Then you will use one of the most popular transplant methods: FUT or FUE.

 

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUSS)

 

The FUSS method is also known as the FUT technique. To perform the technique, the specialist surgeon of the clinic first extracts an area of ​​the scalp belonging to the back of the head or lateral. The follicular size is around 15-25 centimeters. Subsequently, the scalp strips are separated into smaller pieces with a scalpel. 

 

The strip can be divided into up to 2,000 smaller fragments, which will be the grafted hairs. It is worth noting that compared to the FUE Technique, this procedure can be more painful as it is based on a strip that causes discomfort in patients.

 

The surgeon then makes tiny holes in the scalp where the hair will be transplanted. The surgeon places the hairs on the scalp into the puncture holes. Subsequently, everything is covered with bandages or gauze and the specific number of hair grafts in Argentina that a patient receives may vary depending on the type of hair, the size of the transplanted area, the quality and thickness of the hair including the color, having noted that in people with dark hair the transplanted volume seems to be greater.

 

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE Technique)

 

The procedure or FUE Technique is simpler than the FUSS technique and is painless. In this case, the surgeon does not need to perform as many steps within the procedure and uses local anesthesia to extract the follicles from the scalp individually. This technique consists of hair-by-hair extraction that does not usually leave marks on the scalp.

 

On the other hand, the surgeon also makes small holes in the scalp to implant the new hair that will maintain the metabolism and normal nutrition of the area from which they are extracted. Finally, the head is covered with bandages and gauze.

 

Hair implant postoperative

 

Hair graft recovery can take several days and up to a few weeks. Everything will depend on the amount of hair transplanted and the areas affected by the hair implant. Like all surgery, all the patient's factors are taken into account before undergoing the procedure. In the case of smoking patients, they should stop smoking 48 hours after the hair implant, since tobacco affects the normal healing of the body. In addition, products with high levels of caffeine and alcohol should not be consumed.

 

After successful therapy, hair grafting in Argentina is completely ambulatory. The surgeon carefully removes all the bandages and the area may be inflamed, so it is likely that you will have to inject an anti-inflammatory product or consume NSAIDs.

 

Likewise, the patient must wait a few days to be able to wash their hair, especially the transplanted area, which is the one that can be cleaned in the last shift. During the first weeks, products with a neutral pH should be used and washed with warm water, without rubbing the hair.

 

On the other hand, after several weeks the transplanted hair is likely to fall out, but this is not an alarm sign, since it is the first step before the new hair follicles are born, which will be the definitive ones, well-nourished and with good Health.

 

How much does the hair graft cost in Argentina?

 

Prices vary by clinic. However, the range is between $18,000 and $65,000 and in many are hair clinics do financing plans according to the needs of each patient with the possibility of paying in installments.

 

The effectiveness of hair grafts: a massive therapy around the world

 

The first hair transplant arose in 1939, in Japan, where hair was implanted from the scalp as a technique that was previously unknown. The decades that followed marked a boom in hair implantation and little by little new advances began to be discovered.

 

Science thus discovered a highly effective, efficient, and efficient method to combat a massive problem such as hair loss. The results speak for themselves: between 10% and 80% of the implanted hair grows back completely after 4 months.

 

The boom in health tourism

 

Turkey has become a benchmark in terms of hair implants and many health tours take patients to take advantage of discounts and low prices on all kinds of treatments. The truth is that many times, being cheap, the results are not as expected and the disappointment is very high.

 

There is no cure for baldness and it is estimated that five out of 10 men between the ages of 20 and 30 suffer from alopecia. In this way, incurring a hair implant is an affordable and effective solution for which they travel to Turkey (Istanbul) where trips and hotel nights included for patients are offered for 2,000 or 3,000 euros. According to official figures, it is estimated that more than 400,000 patients a year arrive in Turkey to undergo hair transplantation.
