Dr. Alba Reyes

Founder and sole treating surgeon·Alba Reyes Sagiv Skin and Hair Transplant Institute

Dominican Republic

Background

Dr Alba Reyes practises in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 1. The clinic describes her expertise as covering all types of hair loss 2. It describes offering "full hair restoration with personalized care" 10. It says Dr Reyes performs the procedure herself, start to finish, helped by her assistants 3. It describes staff as stable rather than rotational, unlike clinics where the treating doctor changes 4.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic says FUE uses a punch of about 0.9mm without cutting a strip 5. Its "Ultra Refined" FUT is said to pack 40-60 grafts per square centimetre and offers Trichophytic Closure to camouflage donor scarring 6. For most patients it says it uses a mega-session technique (MSFU); a more intensive supermegasession (SMSFU) it says few surgeons worldwide can perform lasts five to ten hours 7. Its FAQ states a supermegasession can move 7,000 to 10,000 follicles, with incisions of 0.5mm to 0.9mm placed along a hairline it says Dr Reyes designs herself 4. Its ethnic hair page says her team is among the most experienced at transplanting curly hair 8. Its FAQ lists candidacy factors as grafts needed, donor density, hair and skin colour, texture and future loss, and says virtually anybody with hair loss can be a patient 4.

Pricing

No numeric prices are published; the clinic says its fee covers full treatment rather than a per-graft charge, giving visibility on cost 3. It offers four packages (VIP Resort, City, Custom, Non-inclusive) bundling a mega-session, transport and hotel, but all say to "ask for quote and for specials", excluding blood work, cardiovascular evaluation and optional comfort items 9. It offers a free initial consultation 10.

Booking and aftercare

The clinic describes the visit as a single day, with patients able to return home within two days, met at the airport by a chauffeur and needing no Spanish as staff are bilingual 3. It says it guarantees a pain-free procedure, with an on-site anesthesiologist available free of charge for patients preferring to sleep under local anesthesia 3. It says its results guarantee is conditional on following what it calls "the pre and post -operative instructions" 4.

Credentials and memberships

Registry records list her as an ABHRS diplomate (Alba V. Reyes (Sagiv), MD) 11. She is also an ISHRS Fellow Member (Alba Reyes, MD, FISHRS), based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 12.
