Dr. Francisco Jiménez Acosta

Dr Francisco Jiménez Acosta directs Mediteknia, a dermatology and hair clinic in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 1. The clinic's team page lists him as medical director 2. The clinic says it has four dermatologists and one aesthetic doctor 1. The clinic says he has more than 20 years of experience in hair transplants 3. It says he completed a one-year hair transplant fellowship at the Stough clinic in Arkansas 3. It says he has written chapters in several hair transplant textbooks 3. His ISHRS profile says he has run an ISHRS-accredited fellowship programme since 2017 4.

The clinic says it performs both FUE and FUT (strip), choosing the technique for each case 3. For FUE it uses a circular punch of 0.9 to 1.00 mm 3. The clinic says Dr Jiménez performs all FUE extractions and implantations himself 3. It says his team is usually 4 to 6 people plus the doctor 3. It offers long-hair FUE without shaving, which it says only he performs in the Canary Islands 5. It also lists eyebrow, beard and moustache transplants 3.

The clinic does not publish a price 3. It says the price depends on the number of grafts and the technique 3. A theatre deposit of €500 plus IGIC reserves the surgery date 3. The rest is paid at least a day before surgery 3. Interest-free financing over 12 or 20 months is offered 3.

Patients from outside the Canary Islands can send photos by email for an assessment and quote 3. The clinic suggests staying in Las Palmas the night after surgery, with a head wash at the clinic the next day 3. Follow-up is at 6 and 12 months 3. The contact phone is 928 232 278 3.

The ISHRS lists him as a Fellow Member 4. The clinic says he received the ISHRS Platinum Follicle Award in 2011 1.
