Almond grove, July 20 of 2021 – The Ribera Almendralejo Hospital opens a new line of aesthetic services in August, through Aesthetic Riverside, with special prominence in this first phase for the hair implant unit, highly specialized, and led by a highly prestigious professional in this area, Dr. Carlos Caballero. Its objective is to help correct alopecia, baldness or loss of hair density, both in men and women, providing the best solution, depending on the needs of each patient, although Dr. Caballero assures with conviction that "hair implants are a definitive solution, very effective and have a very high degree of satisfaction for patients."
"98% of androgenic alopecias are solved with a hair implant, both in men and women," explains the specialist responsible for setting up this consultation in Ribera Almendralejo, who also specifies that "one tends to think that baldness is a thing for men, but it is not like that, since androgenic alopecia in women is very frequent, it also has an important genetic component and, in addition, it usually has more prominent psychological consequences in women than in men”, he argues.
The Capillary Implant Unit of the Ribera Almendralejo hospital, managed by the Ribera healthcare group, will provide a free first consultation and the guarantee of placing yourself in the hands of a qualified professional. Dr. Caballero, who is a specialist certified by the University of Alcalá de Henares in this very specific area, warns about the dangers of intrusiveness in this discipline and highlights the high specialization of this unit in all the hospitals of the Ribera group. "Sometimes we have cared for patients for whom we have had to fix real disasters after putting ourselves in the hands of false specialists," he assures, while recalling that a hair implant is a surgical procedure that requires a specialist, trained nursing staff and qualified and specific instrumental.
But what is a hair implant and who is it best suited for? “The hair implant is a procedure that consists of transferring or transplanting follicles –also known as grafts– from the back and side of the scalp to the front area, which is the most sensitive to experiencing baldness or alopecia. “We take hair from the back area of the scalp, because it is an area free of androgen receptors, not sensitive to hair loss due to hormonal action, and we implant it in the front area, front line, entrances, central lock and also the crown of the head” , as explained by the expert from the Ribera group.
The most important thing, he assures, is to solve the particular problem of each patient. For this reason, he adds, "the first thing we do is a trichoscopy, a study in which, with a digital microscope that includes a densitometer, we assess the donor area, the density and the quality of the follicles." In addition, he explains, an aesthetic design is agreed with the patient, whenever it is feasible from the professional's clinical point of view, before proceeding with the extraction and transplantation. Women, for example, are offered the possibility of maintaining their hair, extracting the follicles from the posterior area, which is covered by it, and implanting them in the areas that each patient needs.
For Dr. Caballero, the previous preparation and subsequent follow-up of the patient is also very important. “We are not satisfied with the surgical procedure and that's it. We want the best results for our patients and that is why we offer pre- and post-surgical treatments with platelet-rich plasma and growth factors from the patient's own blood plasma (PRP), capillary mesotherapy with vitamins, and others, as well as complete medical follow-up and evaluation. , which can guide the previous and subsequent treatment that is required in each case in a personalized way”, assures the specialist.
