Encore Bogotá is a private hair restoration clinic in the La Castellana neighborhood of Bogotá, Colombia. It is a single-specialty center designed for international patients. Surgeons lead every case, both in hair restoration and cosmetic dentistry. Most patients come from the United States and Colombia.
Accreditations and Professional Standings
The clinic and its surgeons hold active authorization through REPS, Colombia's official Registry of Health Service Providers. Both lead surgeons are board-certified physicians. Together, the surgical team has performed over 5,000 FUE hair transplants. Its physicians are members of international medical organizations:
- International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (IBHRS)
- Sociedad Iberoamericana de Trasplante Capilar (SILATC)
Every procedure has a dedicated team. Two full-time surgeons work alongside a rotating third specialist. Two licensed technicians and a licensed anesthesiologist support each surgical case.
Hair Restoration and Surgical Specialties
The clinic's core specialty is FUE hair transplant surgery. A board-certified surgeon performs every procedure from start to finish. That sets it apart from technician-led models found in other regions. Since the clinic caps its schedule at three procedures per day, each patient gets the team's full attention.
Surgeons use several specific methods for hair restoration:
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) with manual implantation
- Detailed hairline design and donor-area protection
- Complementary scalp microneedling to support hair density
- Non-hormonal hair protection protocols
Dr. Fabián Pulido leads the department and has over 10 years of experience. He specializes in aesthetic medicine and alopecia (hair loss) treatments. Dr. Edgar Pulido brings more than 10 years of experience in hair restoration. Both surgeons completed advanced FUE training at Avicena University in Argentina.
Technologies and Diagnostic Equipment
For precise hair follicle extraction, the clinic uses the Trivellini System. The surgeon then implants each graft by hand, so growth patterns look natural. During procedures, a licensed anesthesiologist monitors twilight sedation. This keeps patients comfortable without the risks of general anesthesia. In dentistry, the Cerec Omnicam creates digital diagnostic models. Other diagnostic tools include:
- Panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram)
- Periapical X-ray for detailed dental views
- Digital imaging for aesthetic planning
Specialists use these tools to design porcelain veneers and surgical plans. The medical team runs all pre-operative exams for surgical patients at the hotel. This means patients don't need to visit outside laboratories.
International Patient Services
Patients traveling from the United States get a fully managed experience. All communication and medical protocols are in English. A flat fee covers the procedure and unlimited grafts. That price includes three nights in a five-star hotel with breakfast. Airport pickup and all local transfers are part of the package too. Before traveling to Colombia, patients have a video consultation.
Recovery support lasts 12 months after the procedure. Aftercare follows several structured steps:
- A written recovery protocol in English
- Gentle washing guidance for the transplant area
- Video check-ins on day 4 and day 10 of recovery
- Direct access to the care team for one year
Patients also receive an at-home regimen called Encore Longevity. It pairs morning red light therapy with a peptide serum at night. Together, they help protect and maintain the results of the hair restoration.
