Hair transplant FAQ

Yes. Hair transplant, hair graft, hair implant and hair restoration surgery all refer to the same procedure: relocating your own hair from the donor area to the areas where it has been lost.

It can last a very long time — 20, 25 or even 30 years in many patients. It depends on each person and how they care for it, and some people need a touch-up over time. Medical therapy for at least one year helps protect your hair.

Yes. Hair transplant, hair graft and hair restoration surgery all refer to the same procedure: relocating your own hair from the donor area to the areas where it has been lost.

Yes, in many cases. Hair loss in women often has different causes, so the origin is identified first during the consultation to decide whether a transplant is the best option.

Growth is gradual: new hair usually starts growing around month three or four, and the final result is assessed at about 12 months.

Transplanted hair comes from areas that resist hair loss and can last for many years — 20, 25 or even 30 years in many patients. It varies, and some people need a touch-up over time.

Both. The FUE technique (Follicular Unit Excision) is used to extract follicles one by one from the back and sides of the head, and the DHI technique (Direct Hair Implantation) is used to implant them directly into the balding areas with implanter pens.

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Excision: harvesting hair one follicular unit at a time from the donor area.

It doesn’t leave a linear scar, because no strip of skin is removed. It leaves tiny dots in the donor area that usually aren’t noticeable once the hair grows.

It isn’t one or the other: FUE is the technique to extract follicles and DHI is the technique to implant them. At Regenere they’re used together.

From the donor area: the back of the head and, if needed, the sides — areas that resist hair loss.

DHI stands for Direct Hair Implantation: placing follicles directly into balding areas using implanter pens.

It’s an instrument loaded with each follicle to place it directly into the scalp while controlling the angle and direction of the hair.

No. They’re complementary: FUE extracts the follicles and DHI implants them.

Yes. The design is drawn and reviewed with you before the procedure. The doctor guides you so the result looks natural for your face and age.

Not necessarily. A hairline that doesn’t match your face or age can look artificial. The goal is for it to look natural today and in the years ahead.

Yes. If your natural pattern included receding temples, respecting it is part of an individualized design and a real-looking result.

A hair transplant is an outpatient procedure: you go home the same day and can travel back the next day. We give you the medication you need and follow up with you online.

Yes. For at least one year you’ll take medication that blocks dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair loss. This helps protect your hair and maintain your result.

It isn’t recommended during the first weeks. During follow-up, the doctor will tell you when it’s safe to wear one again.

Exercise should be paused for the first weeks, because sweat can increase the risk of infection. The doctor will tell you when to resume.

Yes. During the first weeks it’s normal for some of the transplanted hair to shed; the follicle remains and grows new hair from around month three or four.

No. Dr. Guadarrama focuses exclusively on scalp hair. Scalp hair is finer than beard hair, so in most cases a beard transplant doesn’t look natural — and naturalness is the core of his philosophy.

If you notice more hair than usual on your pillow, brush or shower, bald patches, a receding hairline or changes in your scalp, it’s a good time for an assessment.

Usually not. It’s an autoimmune condition and is treated medically, with regular follow-up.

It’s a magnified exam of the hair and scalp that helps identify the cause of hair loss.
