Angel’s 4,000 Follicles Hair Restoration Story

Angel's 4,000 Follicles Hair Restoration Story

In April 2024, Angel, a 35-year-old patient from Tampa, made a decision that would change his life: to undergo a hair transplant at our Care4Hair clinic in Miami.

Like many of our patients, Ángel sought to regain his confidence after experiencing androgenetic alopecia, one of the most common causes of hair loss among men.

Thanks to our expertise and advanced technology in the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, we achieved results that exceeded his expectations.

Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment Plan

Before his surgery, Angel underwent a completely free online consultation. This service is ideal for patients outside Miami, like Angel, who seek convenience and precision from the beginning of the process. During this consultation, our specialists determined that his alopecia level was at stage 2 on the Norwood scale. Additionally, it was identified that the primary cause of his hair loss was genetic.

The Care4Hair team designed a personalized plan that included the extraction and implantation of 4,000 follicles. This figure was carefully chosen to reconstruct his frontal hairline and provide a natural result.

Follicle Distribution

Angel's surgery perfectly illustrated how genetics influence the number of hairs per follicle. This allowed us to optimize the number of grafts and strategically cover the frontal area. The distribution of the follicles was as follows:

  • Follicles with one hair: 1200
  • Follicles with two hairs: 2100
  • Follicles with three hairs: 500
  • Follicles with four hairs: 200

These follicles represented the transplantation of over 7,000 hairs to restore the density and youthfulness Angel was seeking.

Precision and Natural Results with FUE Method

The FUE method used in this surgery is known for being minimally invasive, precise, and delivering results that look entirely natural. Each follicle was carefully extracted and redistributed to create a harmonious frontal hairline suited to Angel's facial features.

The Genetic Factor: A Key Aspect in Angel Hair Restoration

Not every individual has the same number of hairs from a single follicle, as it depends on a person's genetics. Some individuals have one or two hairs in each follicle, while others, like Angel, have up to four hairs in each unit. The total number of grafts required to achieve adequate coverage would depend on this genetic variable. For this reason, evaluation consultation is essential to define expectations and design a realistic treatment plan.

Dedicated Support Throughout Your First Year Post-Op

At Care4Hair, we ensure every patient receives the best guidance during their recovery. Our post-operative follow-up program is free for the first year. It comprises constant communication via e-mail and telephone to make clear instructions, answer any type of question, and accompany the patient through every stage of the process.

In Angel's case, three months after surgery, he noticed small lumps in the implantation area, which caused him some concern. This is the result of new hairs coming through the skin and forms part of the normal growth cycle of hair. Fortunately, with our regular consultations, we could explain the cause and reassure him. This highlights the importance of continuous follow-up, especially for patients from outside Miami.

Five months after his surgery, Angel returned to our clinic for an in-person consultation, where we evaluated his progress and offered him a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) session as part of our comprehensive approach to hair recovery.

The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Hair Recovery

PRP is a complementary treatment that accelerates the hair growth process after a transplant by providing essential nutrients that strengthen follicles, improve density, and enhance the shine and health of new hair.

At Care4Hair, we recommend a minimum of four PRP sessions, starting three months after surgery. It's important to note that this treatment is not mandatory; the transplant results will be achieved regardless. However, PRP is an excellent option for those wishing to speed up growth and achieve healthier hair.

Noticeable Results in Just Six Months

Just six months after his surgery, Angel has experienced a significant transformation. His frontal hairline has regained density, and his hair is growing with a completely natural appearance. As he shared with us during his last visit:

"The Care4Hair team gave me my hair back and restored my confidence. I am very grateful for their care and the results."

Today, Angel has regained not only his hair but also his self-confidence. His case is an excellent example of how the combination of advanced technology, personalized care, and supplementary treatments can achieve spectacular results.

Ángel chose to travel from Tampa once again for his PRP session because he had complete trust in our team. During the consultation, he said excitedly:

"I didn’t think this would work and give me such quick results. I’m very grateful to you all."
