Beard transplant in Innovart Medical IPS

Innovart Medical IPS is a private healthcare institution established in 2014 that specializes in hair restoration and trichology. The clinic operates across five locations in Colombia and Panama: Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, and Panama City. This regional footprint lets international patients choose a destination based on travel convenience.

Clinical Achievements and Patient Volume

The clinic has over 12 years of clinical experience in hair restoration. During this period, the medical team has treated more than 33,000 patients. The institution is registered with the Colombian Ministry of Health under REPS number DHSS0709388. It is also regulated by INVIMA, Colombia's national food and drug surveillance agency. The clinic holds recognition from Top Doctors and is affiliated with the Joint Commission International (JCI).

Hair Restoration Specialties

Medical Director Dr. Fabián Carreño Jiménez leads the clinical team. Every patient receives a medical assessment directly from a physician – not a sales coordinator. The clinic offers several specialized procedures for hair and facial density:

• FUE hair transplant – a method for extracting follicles without a linear incision or scar
• DHI hair transplant – a technique where follicles are implanted using a specialized Choi pen
• Beard implantation – for restoring facial hair density
• Eyebrow implantation – for reshaping or thickening the eyebrows
• Alopecia management – treatment for male and female hair loss, including stress-related thinning

For female patients, the medical team evaluates the donor area to determine if surgery is viable. DHI is often preferred for women because it may not require shaving the entire head.

Technology and Procedure Protocols

The clinic uses the Choi pen for Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). This tool uses a hollow needle to place follicles at a precise depth and angle. All procedures are performed under local anesthesia in an ambulatory setting. A physician supervises every surgical step directly.

The treatment plan includes a specific outcome assurance program. If fewer than 5% of implanted grafts take, the clinic provides a retouch at no cost. This is evaluated during the 12-month post-operative control visits.

Long-Term Recovery and International Services

Post-operative care is structured to monitor graft survival closely. Each treatment package includes 24 documented check-ups throughout the recovery period. Patients also receive a specialized evaluation 18 months after the procedure to verify long-term results. Some programs include up to 12 scalp therapy sessions, such as LED phototherapy, over two years.

International patients typically follow a 4–5 day itinerary. Surgery is scheduled early in the trip to allow initial recovery before flying. Staff members speak English at a medium-to-high level to assist with medical coordination. The clinic helps with consultation timing, though patients manage their own lodging. In Bucaramanga, the clinic operates within the Hospital Internacional de Colombia (HIC) complex.
