Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a hair transplant hurt?

We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed during your visit to VatanMed. That’s why we use a combination of local anesthesia and short-term intravenous sedation to make sure the procedure is as painless as possible. Our practitioners use the top-notch Turkish dermojet to give you the best experience possible.

It’s normal to feel some discomfort or mild pain after the procedure, but don’t worry. We’ll give you pain medication to help you through it. Our goal is to ensure you have a smooth and successful hair transplant journey with us.

How long does the hair transplant surgery take?

Having a hair transplant is a day-long procedure, but don’t worry, it’s not as intense as it sounds. The length of the procedure will depend on how many grafts or hair plugs you need, but on average, it takes about 7 hours from start to finish. This is broken up into two phases, with a pause in between for you to rest and refuel.

During the first phase, the grafts will be taken from the donor area, and in the second phase, they’ll be carefully placed in the thinning area to give you the fuller head of hair you desire.

The great news is that you won’t need to take any time off work for the procedure. Once you’ve had it done, you can go back to your daily routine the next day, following your doctor’s recommendations.

So, you can think of it as a quick and easy process that’ll give you the results you want!

What’s the best way to recover after getting a hair transplant?

Taking care of your all-new hair is important for the procedure’s success. That’s why, after your transplant, we’ll make sure you’re fully equipped with all the necessary tools for a smooth recovery. You’ll get a head compression garment to prevent swelling, pain medication, and an aftercare kit for both the donor and transplant areas. As long as you follow the doctor’s instructions, you’ll be healed in no time.

The day after your transplant, you should come in for a check-up and your first hair wash. Be mindful not to bump or hurt the treated area during the first 11 days of recovery. We also suggest avoiding smoking, drugs, certain medications, and exposure to smoke and sunlight for a while. You can resume your normal daily activities after 2 days, but hold off on heavy exercise for 2 weeks and strenuous activities for up to 2 months.

We’ll check on your progress 11 days after your transplant, either in-person or online. Keep in mind that after 14 days, the transplanted hair may start to fall out, but don’t worry – this is completely normal. Over the next few months, the hair will start to grow back, with the full results taking anywhere from 12-15 months.

When it comes to haircuts, we recommend using scissors only and avoiding clippers for the first 2 months. After a year, you can safely use clippers on the transplanted hair. To keep your hair healthy, we also suggest avoiding hair products like gels, sprays, and dyes.

With proper care, you’ll be able to enjoy your new hair as soon as possible!

Can women get a hair transplant too?

Ladies, you’re not alone! Hair loss is a common problem for women too, don’t let it impact your confidence. Hair transplants are a solution that can help you feel like yourself again.

With a detailed determination of the cause of hair loss, you can explore the option of a hair transplant. This surgical procedure involves transferring hair follicles from one area to another, creating fuller, more voluminous hair.

One popular option is our FUE technique, which allows for a short haircut at the back of the head, which will grow back quickly. And, for those who prefer not to have a shorter cut, the DHI technique is an option for minor hair loss and offers a seamless, no-cut approach.

Feel confident and beautiful once again. Embrace the power of a hair transplant with VatanMed!

Is just one session enough?

The amount of sessions you’ll need depends from person to person. Our specialists will assess your donor area to determine the best plan for you. Most people finish in only one session, but some may need two, depending on the area size and the quality of their donor hair. Every person is unique and the number of plugs or grafts needed will vary based on their individual situation.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a hair transplant?

During your consultation, we’ll take a closer look at your hair and assess its quality and quantity. This will help us determine if there’s enough hair to ensure a successful transplant.

We’ll give you a personalized evaluation, taking all the important factors into consideration to ensure the best results. And don’t worry, if you’re unable to come to our awesome office in Tijuana, Mexico, we can still evaluate you through photos and online consultation.

So, why not schedule today? Let’s work together to achieve your desired look!

How can a recognize a good hair transplant?

If you’re thinking about getting a hair transplant, it’s important to make sure you choose a professional who will give you the best results possible. Here are some signs to look out for:

➡️ Natural appearance: You should be able to see a difference, but it shouldn’t be too obvious. The hair should look and grow like it naturally would.

➡️ Properly defined hairline: The hairline at your forehead should look natural, not too straight or too rounded.

➡️ Correctly taken grafts from the donor region: The hair used for the transplant should come from an area that won’t be noticeable, and the grafts should be taken in a way that minimizes scarring.

➡️ Properly distributed grafts: The hair should be placed evenly so that it looks natural and full.

➡️ Appropriate hair density: The hair should look and feel full, not sparse or thin.

Make sure you find a doctor who pays attention to these details and has a track record of producing great results, like our Turkish professionals at VatanMed Mexico.

During the first two weeks after the transplant, you may experience some mild itching, this is just part of the healing process, try not to scratch though!
