Background

Dr Maria Angélica Muricy Sanseverino is a dermatologist who directs the São Paulo branch of Clínica Muricy, a hair transplant clinic founded in Curitiba by plastic surgeon José Candido Muricy 5. The clinic's site says (in Portuguese) that she qualified in medicine in 1994 and trained in dermatology 3. Her ISHRS profile says she has worked only with hair treatments, surgical and non-surgical, since 1999 2. Her ABCRC profile says her hair surgery training began at Clínica Muricy in 1995 and that she has led her own surgical team in São Paulo since 2009 1. Her bio says she took part in more than 4,000 hair loss surgeries during her training 3.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic performs FUE with the donor area shaved or unshaven, and says unshaven surgery takes longer and costs more 6. The São Paulo site also lists body hair transplant, megasessions, repair of artificial-looking results and eyebrow transplants 10 13. The FUE page says the punch holes are 0.8 to 0.9 mm and that grafts are placed with implanter pens 6. It says sessions of 2,500 to 3,000 grafts take one day, and larger or unshaven sessions take two consecutive days 6. Surgery is under local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation, without an overnight stay 6. The clinic's history page says eight other professionals work with the surgeon to extract the grafts, and that assistants help place them with the surgeon finishing placement 5. The FUE page instead says the surgeon removes the grafts 6. The clinic also offers medical hair loss treatment such as medication and low-level laser 10.

Pricing

The clinic publishes no prices 6.

The São Paulo unit is at Avenida Pedroso de Morais 2350, Alto de Pinheiros 4. The clinic says surgeries in São Paulo take place in its own surgical centre 4. The site asks patients to start with a doctor's evaluation and does not say what it costs 10.
