John Buitrago and his 4000-follicle Hairline Transformation

Every patient at Care4Hair has a unique story, and John Buitrago is no exception

At 47 years old, he decided to undergo a hair transplant to regain his hair and confidence.

His surgery was done on 12th October 2024, and now, in March 2025, he has returned to our clinic for a platelet-rich plasma treatment, something we strongly recommend starting three months after the surgery to improve hair growth and hair health. (If you want to know more about the benefits of plasma, have a look at our blog, where we have described this treatment in detail).

A Personalized Procedure for Optimal Results

This patient was initially booked to be given 3,500 hair follicles, but during the procedure, our doctors decided they could safely remove 500 more without affecting the donor area’s look. This is wonderful news for any client, as it adds fullness and guarantees more natural-looking results. This decision can only be made during the extraction process when the expert views the donor area in real time.

He received 4,000 follicles during his hairline restoration surgery:

  • 1-hair follicles: 1,000
  • 2-hair follicles: 1,700
  • 3-hair follicles: 1,200
  • 4-hair follicles: 100

The transplant covered the frontal hairline and contour with a customized design to enhance John’s natural look. He had an excellent donor area and was classified as Level 2 on the Norwood scale, which we use to assess each patient’s hair loss degree.

A Long-Term Dream Come True

John’s story is inspiring. He told us that he started losing his hair at the age of 16 and that, since moving to the United States, he set out to find a definitive solution to restore his hair. Over the years, he tried different methods, but none gave him the benefits he expected until he discovered Care4Hair’s services.

While John is shy and doesn’t like to talk in front of the camera, he has granted us permission to publish his before-and-after photographs since he is delighted with the outcome. His story is yet another example of how a hair transplant may be life-changing, providing not only a new appearance but also restoring self-esteem.

The Importance of Postoperative Care and Complementary Treatments

Postoperative care is key to ensuring the best outcome, and at Care4Hair, we offer a full year of follow-up completely free of charge. We stay in touch with our patients through calls and emails, providing them with detailed instructions on how to care for their hair after the transplant and addressing any questions they may have.

In addition, we recommend platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sessions from the third month to strengthen the implanted hair and accelerate its growth. You need to know that this treatment is not mandatory; the hair will grow anyway, but plasma enhances the effects to be optimal. In John’s case, he chose to go to his PRP session since he wanted to give his new hair an extra dose of health and energy.

You Can Achieve It, Too!

If John’s story sounds familiar, you should know that there is still time to achieve spectacular, natural, and real results. Don’t let baldness continue to destroy your confidence.
