Algarve patient questions
- Is there a hair transplant clinic in the Algarve?
- Replace Clinic is based in Lisbon; we do not have an Algarve branch. Faro patients typically visit for one to two days for FUE.
- Can Algarve expatriates be consulted in English?
- Yes — the full evaluation, procedure and aftercare can be conducted in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese.
- Should I fly or drive from the Algarve?
- Either works. Flights Faro–Lisbon take about 45 minutes; driving takes around 2h30. We schedule the procedure so you only need one overnight stay.
- Can I go in the sun or sea after a hair transplant?
- Direct sun and sea water must be avoided for the first weeks. You receive a written protocol with exact dates, which matters more in the Algarve than almost anywhere else in Portugal.
- Why not travel to Turkey instead?
- Replace Clinic is EU-regulated and GDPR-compliant, the procedure is performed by Dr. Fátima Garcês rather than unregistered technicians, and 18 months of documented aftercare are included — with a one-hour flight instead of a long-haul trip.
- Is the first assessment free?
- Yes. The first assessment is free and is normally done by video so Algarve patients travel only once.
