4000-grafts Hair Transplant - Patient Story: Humberto Quílez
A hair transplant isn’t just a cosmetic fix—it’s a life-changing experience
Over time, his progressive hair loss had chipped away at his confidence. In March 2022, he finally took the leap and chose to undergo a hair transplant at our clinic
Humberto’s Diagnosis and Decision
Humberto was diagnosed with grade 3 alopecia on the Norwood scale, indicating significant hair loss in the frontal region. After a thorough evaluation, our team determined he was an ideal candidate for the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method.
Like many patients, he came in with concerns. He had heard common myths—that hair transplants are painful, results aren’t permanent, or that you need lifelong medication. At Care4Hair, we addressed every concern, explaining that the procedure is safe, virtually painless, and delivers permanent, natural-looking results.
The Procedure: 4,000 Follicles for a Remarkable Change
Humberto received 4,000 implanted follicles, distributed as follows:
- 1,600 single-hair follicles
- 1,200 two-hair follicles
- 800 three-hair follicles
- 400 four-hair follicles
The goal was to rebuild his hairline and restore density in the frontal area. The procedure was smooth and comfortable, thanks to local anesthesia. With FUE, there's no visible scarring, which meant a quick and discreet recovery.
Recovery and the Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma
To enhance his recovery, Humberto also opted for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) sessions. While hair growth occurs naturally after a transplant, PRP stimulates cell regeneration and improves blood supply to follicles, helping accelerate results.
As expected, Humberto experienced “shock loss” during the first month—a normal phase where transplanted hairs shed before regrowing. However, with each PRP session, progress became increasingly visible. By month three, new hairs were already growing, and by month six, he noticed a big improvement in thickness and density.
Debunking Common Hair Transplant Myths
Humberto’s journey gave us the perfect chance to clear up some common misconceptions:
- “Transplanted hair will fall out.” Not true. We use follicles from the back of the scalp, which are resistant to the hormone (DHT) that causes hair loss.
- “You need lifelong medication.” Optional. While treatments like minoxidil or finasteride may speed up early growth, they aren’t necessary for maintaining results.
- “It’s extremely painful.” False. Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure is completely painless—most patients are surprised at how comfortable it is.
- “It leaves visible scars.” With the FUE technique, follicle extraction is done in a way that leaves no noticeable scars.
A Transformation That Goes Beyond Looks
As the months passed, Humberto was thrilled with his results. Regaining his hairline gave him a new sense of confidence. While he admitted he was nervous at first, patience and proper care paid off. He now has the look he had always hoped for.
What meant the most to us? Humberto went from being a skeptic to a true advocate. He shared photos and videos of his progress and even referred friends and family to Care4Hair.
