Alopecia Treatment in PILOSUS Hair Medicine & Aesthetics
About the clinic
PILOSUS Hair Medicine & Aesthetics treats alopecia in Bogotá, Colombia, with scalp diagnostics, hair transplants, and non-surgical therapies. Medical director Dr. Carolina Gómez has over 10 years of experience and specializes in the Turkish hair transplant technique.
Scalp examination and alopecia assessment
The clinic examines the scalp and hair to assess hair loss and guide treatment planning.
- Scalp video microscopy or dermatoscopy: Examines the scalp surface and hair follicles.
- Hair sample analysis: A hair sample is examined under a microscope.
- Phototrichogram: Maps hair growth and shedding phases.
- Ludwig and Savin scales: Assess female-pattern alopecia.
Hair transplant methods and procedures
Transplants use local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. A one-day session can cover 2,000–2,500 follicular units; larger cases may take two days.
- FUE hair transplant: Follicular units are removed individually from the back or sides of the scalp, then placed in thinning areas. A session for up to 2,000–2,500 units takes 7–8 hours. The clinic reports that a natural appearance returns in about 8 days, without visible scars.
- DHI hair transplant: Individual implanters, including Chon Pen and Keep, place extracted follicles while protecting the hair bulb.
- Zafiro (sapphire) hair transplant: Sapphire-tipped tools create V-shaped recipient-site incisions.
- Turkish technique hair transplant: Dr. Gómez specializes in this method.
- Eyebrow implant: Oriental Face Design places hairs individually to shape sparse eyebrows.
- Beard and mustache transplant: FUE or DHI places follicles in facial hair areas.
The transplant process includes design, donor-area anesthesia, extraction, follicle counting and cold preservation, recipient-site incisions, and implantation. Extracted follicles receive bio-stimulating conservation treatment. For alopecia above grade 2, the clinic combines transplant surgery with bio-stimulation therapies.
Non-surgical therapies and follow-up
- Capillary mesotherapy: Microinjections deliver vitamins, trace elements, hyaluronic acid, and 56 active ingredients. Sessions are scheduled every 15 days or monthly, depending on the case.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): Blood is drawn, centrifuged, activated with calcium chloride, then injected into the scalp under anesthesia.
- Ozone therapy: Topical ozone is applied after mesotherapy or PRP.
- Stem cell therapy: Follicle DNA is extracted from hair biopsies and placed in areas without hair.
- Spa Capilar with laser helmet: Low-level laser therapy, massage, and scalp stimulation take about 50 minutes.
- Derma Pen bio-stimulation: Controlled microchannels stimulate collagen and nutrient flow.
Transplant patients receive one year of medical-dermatological follow-up, remote for international patients, and a home-care kit. The home protocol uses growth-factor ionization and ozone therapy every 8 days for 2 months. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

PILOSUS Hair Medicine & Aesthetics: more details about the clinic
Specialized Hair and Facial Restoration
The clinic restores hair on the scalp, beard, mustache, and eyebrows. Every treatment begins with a detailed evaluation to determine if surgery is needed. Surgeons perform several advanced transplantation techniques:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) – individual follicle harvesting for natural results
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) – precise placement using specialized implanters
- Zafiro – sapphire-tipped instruments that create smaller incisions to minimize tissue damage
- Oriental Face Design – hair-by-hair eyebrow implantation for personalized facial harmony
Procedures are planned based on follicular units. Typical sessions involve 2,000–2,500 units per day. Larger cases are split over two days for patient comfort. All surgical patients receive a structured one-year follow-up plan.
Non-Surgical Capillary Medicine
Patients who don't need surgery can choose regenerative therapies to strengthen existing hair. These treatments activate nutrient flow and stimulate the growth cycle. Options include:
- Mesoterapia Capilar – microinjections of vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and oligoelements
- Plasma Rico en Plaquetas (PRP) – growth factors derived from the patient's own blood
- Ozone Therapy – topical applications to increase scalp oxygenation and circulation
- Stem Cell Therapy – injections of growth factors to improve hair density and volume
Biostimulation sessions last about 50 minutes. These therapies work alone or support healing after a transplant. The clinic also uses laser technology for scalp rejuvenation.
Advanced Diagnostics and Technology
Specialists use high-resolution imaging to assess thinning patterns and hair density. A phototrichogram examination maps hair growth and loss phases in detail. Other diagnostic tools include:
- Video microscopy and dermatoscopy for scalp skin health
- Microscopic analysis of individual hair samples
- Thorough exploration to identify traumatic alopecia causes
During treatments, surgeons use the Derma Pen device for bio-stimulation. This tool creates controlled micro-channels that stimulate collagen production. For transplants, sapphire blades improve graft survival and reduce scarring.
Services for International Patients
The clinic partners with 4-star and 5-star hotels in Bogotá for international guests. Patients can stay in Grand or Safiro suites near the facility. These accommodations include high-speed Wi-Fi and specialized recovery support. The clinic provides several logistics services:
- Coordinated airport-to-hotel transport
- Transportation between the hotel and the clinic
- Optional accompaniment during the medical visit
- Remote follow-up for one year after the procedure
Each patient receives a dedicated post-operative kit for home care. This kit includes therapies to be used every eight days for two months. Remote monitoring tracks recovery milestones after the patient returns home.
