Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2021 Dear valued members, physicians, and visitors of our community, As most of you know, we request input from our community and our recommended physicians before we approve any physician for a recommendation. We invite you to review the below information about Dr. Rafael De Freitas @De Freitas Clinic and his results and to post a reply with your opinion. You can also message us privately if you prefer. Dr. Rafael De Freitas has been a forum favorite since his clinic started posting last month. His quality, case presentation, results, and details have been awe-inspiring, to say the least. We are now considering him for a potential recommendation- this requires that he meet our strict community standards of performing ultra-refined follicular unit grafting with consistently high yields and excellent results. We expect our surgeons to be able to not only dense-pack quality follicular unit grafting but also have the capacity and staffing to transplant thousands of follicular units per day. Our recommended physicians must operate transparently and be held publicly accountable, knowing that their patients may come to our forum and review them right after surgery. Transparency builds trust and accountability, which is the foundation for credibility. That is why our list of recommendations is unlike any other on the internet. We use the collective wisdom and input of the entire community. Why we Feel Dr. De Freitas is worthy of recommendation.

Senior Member ITA Posted March 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 Absolutely yes, I had already seen several of his transplants on other European forums, in my opinion he is one of the best surgeons in the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious25 Posted March 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 The guys work is amazing - and he would be an asset to have in the community for sure, however . . Playing devils advocate - we only have 1x patient posted result to go off here. Does this not go against the grain to what the forum preaches and stands for ? If this was Hair of Istanbul for instance - with an array of impressive results on their Instagram account, however only 1 patient posted result on the forum, would they also be up for recommendation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mycroft Posted March 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 For what it's worth I have read a number of the Spanish clinic patient result threads and I've generally been impressed with the work. I appreciate that he is a doctor who takes a significant hands-on approach in his surgeries because I believe this goes a long way to establishing consistency of results. I have only ever seen his clinic reps behaving professionally in public forums, and from what I've heard his price point seems like a reasonable option for patients. For the sake of the other posters who maybe haven't read I'd love to see if the clinic would be able to get permission from some patients to share their posts/reviews here, but honestly if people are curious it's pretty easy to find his name over on recuperarelpelo. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him on the recommendation list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 8, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 8, 2021 To be honest Melvin I haven't see that many at all. But then again I don't check other forums.

Senior Member JayLDD Posted March 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2021 He has the benefit of working with patients who often have incredible donor hair and perhaps that is also a result of his selection process, but he is undeniably one of the best FUE surgeons in the world on consistency. Arguably *the* best in terms of hairline aesthetics although that is to some degree preference. . Naturalness is a relatively low bar to cover, these go well beyond that and largely are the equivalent of designer hairlines. Last I saw his prices aren't even that high either. Easy recommendation. 1 HT1: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/48494-asmed-koray-erdogan-3070-grafts-april-10th/ HT2: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/51224-3038-grafts-fue-asmed-koray-erdogan-30th-april/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2021 They have been impressing me for the last few years. Nice to see more results being posted on this forum in recent times. So many more excellent results on other forums, Spanish and Italian in particular. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to find on the website but no luck. Obviously, very impressive results! From 1-1000 grafts he charges 3.5 euros. From 1001 grafts and beyond he charges 2.5 euros. That price is actually lower than a lot of these hair mills in Turkey. It really is a no-brainer at that cost. Also the cost of accommodation (4 star hotel) is included in their prices for patients outside of Valencia Spain. 3 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member caricatura Posted March 10, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 10, 2021 So a 3000 graft procedure would cost [(1000 x 3.5) + (2000 x 2.5) = 3500 + 5000 = €8500 =] $10,102. @g4designs Even with airfare and hotel, this likely meets your $12,000 budget and you'd be going to one of the best in the world.
