Medical tourism package for hair launched in Brazil

21-Jun-2007

A new medical tourism package designed to cater for people with hair loss has been launched in Brazil.

Patients can now seek treatment abroad for baldness with Makeover Brazil, which has selected experienced hair transplant experts from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

Individual hair follicles are removed from one part of the patient's scalp and placed on the area suffering from hair loss.

Richard Abel, a patient who has undergone the procedure, described the results as "amazing" and said that he was surprised at how painless it was.

"I went in for a consultation in the afternoon, and the doctor scheduled the operation for the very next morning. By noon I was out of there," he revealed.

Brazil offers top-quality medical tourism at affordable prices, with a typical hair transplant operation costing from around £1,500.

Patients opting for treatment abroad are advised to stay in Brazil for eight days in order to attend a follow-up appointment with the doctor seven days after their hair transplant operation.
