The hair implants in Mexico are sought by thousands of people outside the country for being of the highest quality and low prices that many clinics offer. In recent years, our country has become even more popular for many reasons, but the main one is because of its affordable cost.

It is possible that you are looking for where to do a hair transplant and you have chosen Mexico as your option; Therefore, we decided to make this new post for our blog with the most frequent questions you may have about the procedure and the clinic where you plan to do it.

At CHR, as experts in hair restoration we will answer all these questions; Also, remember that, if you do not clarify all your questions with this post, you can always send us a message with your questions and we will answer them with pleasure. You can also contact us to schedule your first appointment with any of our plastic surgeons.

What is a Hair Implant intervention?

It is a minimally invasive surgery that consists of the extraction of hair follicles from certain areas of the head, especially the area of the neck, to reposition them where there is a baldness problem. The majority of CHR patients do not have hair in the crown area or have a very crossed hairline.

What hair transplant techniques do they use at CHR?

We have the largest team of expert plastic surgeons in hair implants in Mexico who know perfectly the two most used methods of hair transplantation, as well as the handling of the ARTAS robot; the techniques they use are:

  • FUT: Which consists of the extraction of a 20×1 cm strip of hair from the nape area to extract a large number of hair follicles.

  • FUE: This method of hair transplantation consists of extracting the hair grafts one by one to collect them

  • ARTAS Robot: It is a robotic arm operated by a plastic surgeon that extracts the hair follicles with a millimeter at a higher speed.

If you have more specific questions about each procedure, you can visit the special page we have for each of them on our website or send us your questions from our contact page.

In what other parts of the body can Hair Implants be placed?

We can place hair grafts in other areas of the body besides the head, either in the eyebrows or in the beard. If you have a scar that has left you without hair in one part or if you want to have a thicker beard, you can come to CHR with the expert doctors in hair implants in Mexico.

Is hair transplantation a definitive solution to baldness?

Yes! It may take time to see the results, but we guarantee that you will not suffer from baldness again. Your hair will grow normal and will no longer fall out, as the hair on the nape and on the sides is genetically programmed not to do so. Only take the care that your doctor tells you while you recover from your hair transplant.

Once they have healed and the hair begins to grow, you will not need any special care than usual. It is possible that after six months it will fall out, but it is completely normal as the hair follicles fully adapt to the new area of the head.

Do Hair Implants leave marks or scars?

The small cuts that are made to place the hair grafts when they heal are practically invisible and if they are made with the ARTAS robot less. After a couple of weeks after the operation that they heal completely, you will no longer see a trace of them or the small scab that is made while it heals.

When will you see the final results of the operation?

For you to see your hair as it will look after the operation, it will take between 10 and 12 months; This is because hair grafts must adapt to the area of the head where they were placed and have to grow naturally. While it takes some time, results are 100 percent guaranteed.

How long does a Hair Graft session at CHR last?

Approximately, it takes between 6 and 8 hours, although in some cases it may be less time; especially when using the ARTAS robot, which helps speed up the hair graft extraction process. Plus, with our doctors’ expertise in hair transplantation, it can be done better and faster.

Does it take more than one session to complete the hair transplant?

This will depend on the needs of the patient; those who have a bigger baldness problem will need more work so it will be necessary to take up to two sessions. However, in most cases, just one operation will be enough to fully cover the affected part.

Is it a painful procedure?

Not at all; During the placement of the hair grafts you will feel absolutely nothing because we use anesthesia; you will be lying down at all times and you can enjoy a book or be distracted with your phone without problem. During the recovery days you may feel slight discomfort, but if you follow the treatment indicated by the surgeon you will not have problems.

Why look for Hair Implants in Mexico?

There are many reasons to choose Mexico for a hair transplant, but here we will give you the two most important ones: low prices and quality. Unlike other countries, the price of placing hair implants in Mexico is very low, compared to Turkey, where this procedure is more common.

Robot ARTAS and their advantages for hair restoration

Robot ARTAS

One of the greatest technological advances in terms of hair transplantation is, without a doubt, the ARTAS Robot. Thanks to this robotic arm, this procedure can be done faster and more precisely than how it is done manually. Combined with the work of an expert physician, it works wonders when it comes to hair restoration.

In order for you to know more about this technology in hair transplantation that we have at Cancun Hair Restoration, we will tell you a little about how ARTAS works and the advantages it has, in addition to its speed, in terms of hair restoration. We are sure that, in the end, you will schedule your first appointment with any of our expert plastic surgeons.

ARTAS for total hair restoration robot

The ARTAS robot is a recently developed mechanism that is used in aesthetic clinics, mainly to facilitate hair transplant. Although it requires the management of a plastic surgeon to obtain the best results, this mechanical arm perfects the technique to the point of practically not leaving a single visible mark.

As in any hair restoration procedure, this one requires that the patient be anesthetized; however, it is a very simple sedation, similar to that used in dental procedures. However, for the robot to work better, it is necessary to completely shave what will be the donor area.

These two slight drawbacks, if we can call them that, are the only ones that this robotic arm presents; In general, the ARTAS robot makes hair transplantation better and guarantees better results to the patient thanks to its operation, which consists of the following process:

Doctors using the ARTAS robot for a hair transplant

  1. The plastic surgeon will delimit and mark the recipient area and prepare the entire donor area for ARTAS to work properly.

  2. The ARTAS robot will take care of making images of the entire scalp to identify each of the follicles that will be most useful.

  3. After tracing well on the head, you will begin to extract each follicle with millimeter precision to perfectly preserve each one.

  1. The plastic surgeon will collect and store the hair follicles that the robot will extract, which will then be placed in the receiving part.

  2. Once enough grafts have been collected, the plastic surgeon will take care of placing them with a natural design of the hairline.

  3. After a couple of hours, the session will be over and you will have felt absolutely nothing.

The advantages of the ARTAS ROBOT

  • The procedure is faster: Undoubtedly, the main advantage of using the ARTAS robot for hair transplantation is that it makes the extraction of hair follicles faster since it is responsible for selecting them in the best possible way and without much help.

  • Less painful recovery: During the procedure, we will make sure that you feel absolutely nothing in your head; and in the recovery, being very exact cuts, you will be able to heal more quickly than normal.

  • Better selection of the follicles: The ARTAS robot is able to better select the hair follicles to be transplanted; in this way, they are made stronger by placing them in the receiving area.

  • Fewer visible marks: The millimeter cuts that it makes both to extract and to place the hair follicles make them smaller; therefore, they will be seen even less at the end of the procedure and heal completely.

  • Greater harvesting of grafts: By having stronger follicles, a greater quantity can be obtained in a single session. The hair transplant rate is greater than with a manual technique of between 30 and 40 percent.

  • Better preserves hair follicles: Another advantage is that, by making more exact cuts, it better preserves the hair follicles it extracts; many times, when done manually, they can be lost by a slightly larger cut than they should.

  • Helps to make a natural design: This robot is also prepared to create a better design when placing hair grafts. With the knowledge of the plastic surgeon and this technological help, you will have a natural hairline.

  • 100% outpatient procedure: It is not necessary that you remain in recovery at the end of the procedure; You can return to your house or your hotel to recover little by little and without spending more.

  • Permanent results: Once you have completely healed, you can completely forget about baldness; transplantation with the ARTAS robot offers permanent results, so your hair will never fall out again.

Without a doubt, the ARTAS robot is a unique piece of technology that will give you impressive hair transplant results. It is an advance that not any clinic in Mexico has; Luckily, at Cancun Hair Restoration we have it and the knowledge to operate it perfectly. Do not wait any longer and schedule your appointment with us now from our website.
