Hair Transplant Madrid

Our hair transplant clinic is distinguished by the combination of three differential factors: the exclusive experience of Dr. Antonio Fernández Brito in trichology and hair transplantation, the FUE Sapphire HD Technique as a unique method of work, and a completely personalized approach for each patient.

Unlike other clinics, our medical team performs each intervention in its entirety without delegating any phase. The experience in hair transplantation accumulated over more than 13 years and the real results of our patients endorse our position as a reference in the best hair transplant in Madrid.

Do you have doubts about how to choose a hair transplant clinic? We explain the most important criteria to make the best decision.

Patients who choose hair micrografting in Madrid can expect a number of significant benefits:

• All-natural result: The Sapphire HD FUE Technique allows a precise distribution of the hair follicles respecting the angle and direction of the existing hair, achieving a hair graft result indistinguishable from the hair itself.
• Rapid recovery: The minimally invasive approach allows you to resume social and work activities in a few days. The procedure takes about 6 to 8 hours and the patient can go home the same day.
• Permanent results: By using the patient’s own follicles resistant to hormonal dropping, the results of the hair transplant are definitive and do not require subsequent maintenance.
• Minimal scarring: Small micro-holes made with 0.7 to 0.9 mm sapphire punch ensure that the donor area is not left with visible marks.

MicroCapilar Hair Clinic is the reference in hair transplant surgery in Madrid, combining state-of-the-art technology with more than 13 years of exclusive experience of Dr. Antonio Fernández Brito.

The results of the hair transplant depend on each patient and the area treated. The evolution of a hair graft in the area of the receding hairline is not the same as the evolution of the crown of the head, since each area has different density and vascularization characteristics.

In general terms, the results of hair transplantation follow this evolution:

• First month: Normal hair loss — this is part of the process and does not indicate treatment failure
• 3-4 months: Usually begins to see initial growth improvement
• 6 months: Visible partial results — the patient is progressively improving
• 12 months: Fully consolidated transplant end result

We have to keep in mind that the results after a hair transplant depend on each person and the area in which it is performed. For example, the evolution of the results of a hair transplant in the area of the receding hairline may be different from the evolution of a hair graft in the crown of the head.

The hair micrograft procedure at Microcapilar Hair Clinic begins with a free and detailed assessment to assess each patient’s needs and goals. The hair transplant technique follows a rigorous protocol in each phase:

• Extraction: The necessary hair is extracted from the donor area, usually the back of the head, through small micro-holes with a sapphire punch of 0.7 to 0.9 mm. The donor area is not visible thanks to the precision of the instruments used.

• Separation: Follicles are thoroughly separated using specialized microscopes to preserve the integrity of each follicular unit prior to implantation.

• Implantation: To cover the bald area by means of small micro channels made with a sapphire scalpel, the follicles are implanted respecting the natural angle and direction of the hair, guaranteeing a totally natural result.

The hair transplant procedure is performed under oral sedation and local anesthesia, so the patient is comfortable and conscious throughout the process.

The hair transplant procedure is performed under oral sedation and local anesthesia, so the patient is comfortable and conscious throughout the process. The intervention lasts about 6 to 8 hours depending on the number of follicular units to be transplanted, and the patient can return home the same day.

The evolution of hair transplantation follows a natural and progressive process. The results of hair transplantation are not immediate, but the wait is worth it:

• First month: It is normal for transplanted hair to fall out — the follicles remain active under the skin
• 3-4 months: Usually begins to see initial improvement of new growth
• 6 months: After 6 months , the final result is not yet visible, although the improvement is already noticeable
• 9-12 months: Fully consolidated transplant end result — the transplanted hair naturally integrates with the existing hair, achieving an all-natural result

The patient progressively improves throughout the process. How long exactly will it take in my specific case? It depends on the area treated, the number of follicular units implanted and the individual characteristics of each patient. In your free assessment, Dr. Fernández Brito will explain the expected evolution for your specific case.

Choosing a hair transplant clinic is an important decision that requires research and judgment. Here are the key factors you should consider:

• Exclusive Experience: Look for specialists dedicated exclusively to trichology and hair transplantation. Extensive experience in hair transplantation is a key indicator of quality, guarantee and safety.
• Real results: Demand to see real results from patients — before and after cases similar to yours.
• Accredited recognitions: Check if the specialist has awards, publications or memberships in recognized medical societies that endorse their experience in hair transplantation.
• Free and no-obligation assessment: The best hair transplant clinic always offers a personalized initial consultation to evaluate your case before recommending any treatment. Be wary of clinics that give quotes without prior assessment.
• Technique used: Make sure they work with advanced techniques such as the FUE Sapphire HD. The hair transplant technique used by the specialist will largely determine the quality of the final result.

At Microcapilar Hair Clinic we offer a free and non-binding assessment with Dr. Antonio Fernández Brito, with more than 13 years of exclusive experience in hair transplant surgery in Madrid.

Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure that consists of extracting follicles from the donor area (usually behind the scalp) to implant them in areas with hair loss. In our hair transplant clinic in Madrid, we perform the procedure using the most advanced techniques, guaranteeing a totally natural appearance and long-lasting results.

The number of follicular units to be transplanted depends directly on the extent and degree of alopecia of each patient. There is no standard number — each case is different and is evaluated individually in the free assessment.

The main difference is in the technical adaptation of each area:

• Beard grafting: Suitable for men who want to increase beard density or cover areas without growth. The follicles are implanted respecting the natural direction of facial hair.
• Eyebrow grafting: Allows you to recover or redesign eyebrows with little density or total absence of hair. It requires millimeter precision in the angle of implantation to achieve a totally natural result.

In all cases, the procedure is performed under the direct supervision of Dr. Antonio Fernández Brito, who specializes in hair treatments and always adapts the hair transplant technique to the specific characteristics of each treated area.

At our clinic in Madrid, we perform a personalized medical evaluation to determine if the patient is suitable for hair transplant surgery. Below, we explain the most frequent cases in which this technique is viable and effective:

• Stable and localized androgenetic alopecia
  It is the most common case among our patients. More than 90% of those who come to the clinic have male or female pattern baldness, especially in areas such as the crown or frontal line.

• Small extension scarring alopecia
  If you have suffered a burn, trauma or injury that has left an area without hair (on the scalp, face or skull), we can evaluate the feasibility of a hair implant in scars.

• Visible post-surgical scars
  We perform hair grafts to cover marks or scars resulting from previous interventions, improving hair aesthetics.

• Unsatisfactory results from previous grafts
  We correct cases in which the result of a previous hair transplant has not been satisfactory, using more advanced techniques and a more natural design.

• Men and women with hair loss
  Hair transplantation is viable in both sexes. In women, the diagnosis must be more precise, as they often present with diffuse alopecia and different patterns that require an adapted approach

At MicroCapilar Hair Clinic Madrid we carry out a complete and personalized hair evaluation before any intervention. This assessment is key to ensuring that the patient is suitable for a hair transplant and defining the most appropriate strategy for each case. The process consists of three fundamental steps:

1. Medical history

We perform a detailed review of the patient’s medical history:

• Current or past medication

• Previous illnesses

• Allergies

• History of hair loss

This step is essential to detect possible contraindications and adapt the treatment to the health needs of each person.

2. Trichological study with advanced technology

Using a high-precision trichoscope, we analyze:

• The type and degree of alopecia

• The thickness, texture, and shape of the hair

• The density of the donor area

• Scalp laxity

In cases with limited density, we also use a capillary densitometer, which allows us to calculate exactly how many follicular units (UF) can be extracted without compromising the donor area.

3. Personalized treatment plan

With all the information, we determine if the patient:

• It is suitable for hair transplantation

• Needs prior or complementary treatment

• Can achieve optimal density and natural results
  If so, we explain the treatment plan in detail and adjust expectations in a realistic and personalized way.

We also show real images of patients with similar cases so that the patient has a clear idea of the possible end result.

• Duration of the assessment: approximately 30-60 minutes.
• Who performs it: a specialist in trichological analysis from our team, dedicated exclusively to these assessments. Subsequently, the hair surgeon reviews each diagnosis to prepare the intervention accurately.

At MicroCapilar Hair Clinic we believe that the quality of the diagnosis is as important as the surgery, which is why we delegate this step to an expert who works in direct coordination with our medical team.

Follicular units (UFs) — also called grafts — are natural groupings of hair follicles that are extracted from the donor area during a hair transplant. Each follicular unit usually contains between 1 and 4 hair follicles.

The hair follicle is the structure within the skin where hair forms and grows. Therefore, each grafted follicular unit can generate 1 to 4 hairs, depending on its composition.

Why is it important to understand what Follicular Units are?

Knowing how follicular units work will help you understand the procedure and choose a hair transplant clinic in Madrid or any other city judiciously. These are some keys that you should be clear about:

• The donor area is limited
  The number of follicular units available depends directly on the hair density of the donor area (usually the back of the scalp). It is not possible to extract unlimited grafts without compromising the aesthetics of that area.

• More UF doesn’t always mean more density
  Two people can receive 3,000 UF, but one has 3,000 hair follicles and another up to 12,000, depending on how many follicles each unit contains. Therefore, not only the number of UFs matters, but also their composition.

• UF ≠ Hair follicle
  It’s a common mistake. For example, 3,000 hair follicles can correspond to as few as 750–3,000 follicular units, depending on the hair type.

No, it is not possible to perform a hair transplant with someone else’s hair.
The human body would reject foreign hair follicles as foreign tissue, leading to immune rejection and possible serious medical complications .

After 10-15 days, once the scabs of the hair graft are removed, the skin is a little red. Native hair grows at the rate it usually did.

After 15 days , the hair in the donor area usually recovers. The follicular units that we have extracted for transplantation do not grow back here, but in the recipient area.

Throughout the first month the grafted hair falls out (the hair, not the inserted follicular unit). It is the “shock loss“. It occurs in almost all patients due to the stress of surgery. Very few do not suffer from it.

It is not until 3 months that the graft begins to sprout again in a very gradual and natural way. It does not sprout all at once or with the same force. It grows and densifies little by little.

After 6 months we can see a good result, although as I explained in the previous question, not everyone appreciates the same improvement in this time.

The year is when the final results are usually considered. As the months go by, the quality of the hair improves, especially if it is accompanied by medical treatment.

The patient notices it even in areas where it is not grafted.

Once the follicle has been established after the first months of the postoperative period, the result of the hair transplant is completely natural in its behavior. New hair grows, develops and responds exactly like your own hair:

• You can wash, cut or dye it as normal
• You recover your hair routine without any restrictions
  

When can I cut my hair after the graft? In general , it is recommended to wait between 3 and 4 weeks for the first cut, always following the indications of Dr. Antonio Fernández Brito according to the evolution of each case

The key is that the transplanted follicles maintain their original genetic properties, being resistant to hormonal loss and behaving like their own hair from the moment they take root definitively.

The all-natural result is not only aesthetic but also functional.

It is essential to take into account the recommendations of surgeons specializing in hair health on how to take care of scabs after hair transplantation.

The most important thing is to have a high frequency of washing and avoid exposure to sunlight and heat.

Hair transplantation is applicable in many areas, such as the crown, receding hairlines, eyebrows and beard.

Hair transplantation is non-invasive and should not involve any pain, although there are some causes of headache after a hair transplant that can occur for different reasons.

It is advisable to wait at least 1 month to get your first haircut after your hair transplant.
