Dr. Pascal Boudjema

Dr Pascal Boudjema runs his own hair transplant clinic in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France 1. His site says (in French) that he defended his medical doctoral thesis in Paris in 1986 2. It says he has worked mainly on the surgical treatment of baldness for more than 35 years 2. His ISHRS profile says he entered hair restoration surgery in 1987 and has performed more than 4,000 hair transplant surgeries 3. The same profile says his practice is dedicated only to hair restoration surgery 3. His site lists instruments he says he invented and patented, among them the Hair Implanter Pen, the Fuextractor and the Fuematic 2.

The clinic offers FUT (strip), FUE and a 2 mm mini-punch technique, which it says may be used for very curly hair 4. For FUE it says it uses a punch of 0.7 to 1 mm, and may use his own FUEMATIC or FUEXTRACTOR instruments 5. It says recipient slits of about 1 mm are made with a sapphire micro-blade or a triple-bevel needle 5. Grafts are then placed with forceps or the Hair Implanter Pen 5. The FUE page says about 6 hours are needed for 1,500 to 2,000 grafts 5. A reply on the FUT page says that, in fairly rare cases, more than 4,000 to 5,000 grafts can be implanted in one session 6. The clinic also offers female hair transplants, scalp micropigmentation and PRP 4.

The FUE page says an FUE hair transplant generally costs between €3,000 and €6,000 including VAT 5. It gives no graft count for that range 5. A reply on the consultation page says the first consultation of about 45 minutes costs €60 7. The same page says the surgeon gives a written quote stating the technique, the exact number of grafts and the total price 7.

The clinic says Dr Boudjema examines each patient personally 8. Its consultation page says the patient should always be examined by the surgeon in person, because he is the one who will operate 7. It says the clinic operates on weekdays, not at weekends 7. The procedures are done in one day under local anaesthesia 8. Appointments can be booked online through Doctolib 8.

He is an ISHRS Full Member, and his profile gives 1997 as the year he joined 3. His site calls him an associate member of the ISHRS 2. His ISHRS profile says he received the society's Platinum Follicle Award in 2024 3. His site says he is recognised by the Paris council of the Ordre des médecins 2.
