Hair loss is a physiological phenomenon, calculating that a normal adult man has approximately 100,000 hairs on the scalp and can lose 100 hairs per day, considering when the loss exceeds this amount as alopecia, which takes importance in society as a psychosocial problem. Taking into account the aesthetic value that hair has in the individual's appearance, it is easy to understand the eager search for treatments on the part of those who suffer from it, making hair restoration procedures increasingly popular.

Currently indicates, there is no method to create new hair, transplants depend on the supply of autologous hair follicles and all techniques for hair restoration involve the redistribution of hair in the patient, hence the selection of candidates for the hair transplantation is limited to those with a favorable donor area and a relative density of the size of the area to be transplanted, the best donor area being the one in which the hair grows permanently, this is mainly the occipital and temporal area, emphasizing that the greatest challenge for the surgeon is to achieve, together, capillary density and naturalness.

To perform this express technique, an organized, efficient, and properly trained surgical team is required. The procedure is outpatient and is performed under local anesthesia, after medication.

Estimate in 24 - 48 hours

To request a quote, specialist will need very clear photos on donor and recipient sites. Based on these photos the clinical specialists prepare the detailed estimate, with the necessary number of hairs and also indicate the time needed to carry out the treatment. Doctors and clinics determine prices based on the complexity of the intervention and based on the number of hairs to be transplanted and based on the duration of the surgery.

The doctors in the Dominican Republic always calculate and price by the amount of hair and not by the number of follicles, which would be misleading.
