Background
The clinic describes Dr. Sergio Camacho as a medical surgeon and its "leading doctor" 1. It states he has close to 30 years of experience as a medical doctor, including nine years as a general surgeon and about 20 years working with hair restoration techniques 1. Bogota Hairlines describes itself as the first private clinic in Colombia specializing exclusively in hair transplants 2. The clinic's team page also names Dr. Paola Pareja, practicing since 2015 under Camacho's protocols per the clinic, and Dr. Gina Carranza, described as a hair transplant surgeon with the clinic 1.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic's more commonly used technique is FUE with a motorized Mamba (Trivellini) extraction device it says includes a suction system to reduce graft trauma, paired with Lyon implanter pens for implantation; FUT is also offered 4. It states surgery is always performed by a medical doctor, with technicians limited to assisting duties such as prep, sorting grafts, and loading implanter pens 4. In many cases Camacho reportedly makes pre-made recipient incisions before implantation, depending on scalp elasticity and other factors assessed on site 4. As a general rule the clinic performs one surgery a day, occasionally allowing a second small case, with sessions running 4 to 8 hours 4. For younger patients it favors a conservative approach to hairline design and graft numbers, treating patients between ages 21 and 80 4.
Pricing
No graft-based or package price figures are published; the clinic states cost depends on hair loss progression and donor availability and is provided after a free consultation 3. The published package includes the procedure, clinic fees and precare, airport and clinic transport, a three-night boutique hotel stay, a bilingual concierge, and aftercare treatment, medicine and shampoo, with airfare excluded 3.
Booking and aftercare
Booking starts with a free consultation request, after which a clinic representative follows up and sets up a video consultation directly with Dr. Camacho 5. The clinic requires a rapid HIV and Hepatitis C/D test on-site before surgery and recommends patients also test locally within a month beforehand to avoid a last-minute cancellation 4. It states its team is reachable 24/7 by phone or email, and that infection is uncommon and usually linked to patients not following aftercare instructions 4.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic states Camacho has been an active member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons since 2007 1.

Awesometotallydude had FUE with Dr. Camacho at Bogota Hairlines in Bogotá, Colombia in 2022 (Norwood 3 before surgery), 2,601 grafts, paying about $5,100 USD all-inclusive not counting flight. Across updates from 5 to 20 months post-op he repeatedly called it 'the best decision I've ever made' and 'Best money I ever spent,' describing the clinic as professional and easy to work with and reporting no side effects from his finasteride/minoxidil regimen. At 3.5 years post-op he raised a new concern that his density 'feels a little weaker than usual,' which he links to recently cutting back his minoxidil rather than a graft problem.

u/dontsnooze had 3,000 grafts (hairline only, DHI) with Dr. Camacho at Bogota Hairlines around March 2025, paying about $2.70/graft (~$8,100 total) after choosing Camacho over Turkey providers to avoid 'unnatural hairlines.' Early recovery included shock loss and a rough patch of scalp trauma, and he regretted eating breakfast before the procedure ('that was my biggest regret for sure'), but by 15 days he was already 'happy with the hairline design.' At his 6-month update he reported being 'super picky and he's godly at the hairline so I'm very happy so far,' with midscalp shock loss growing back in and density still filling in. Across multiple posts he called the clinic 'very responsive' and said 'I would recommend Camacho to anyone, he was very kind, and efficient.'

itsmajestic09 had 3,000 grafts with Dr. Sergio Camacho at Bogota Hairlines in 2024, paying about $8,000. He called the process 'very smooth' with attentive staff, but his assessment of the growing result stayed mixed over time — by 7-10 months he said it 'still looks very thin' and he was 'far from where i wanna be,' and at 8 months summed up: 'I dont think his work was excellent but I dont think it was terrible either.' He returned to the same clinic for a second, larger procedure in 2026, but per his own account that surgery was performed by Dr. Pareja, not Camacho, with Camacho only involved in planning it.

Dismal_Inflation646 had 3750 grafts (FUE) with Dr Camacho at Bogota Hairlines in late October 2022, paying roughly $7,350-$7,500. Early updates described heavy shedding and shock loss as expected but unnerving, then settled into praise for the hairline design, calling it 'Very good experience with Dr Camacho and the team!' By the 10-month mark she was 'disappointed with the crown,' and a 2025 comment confirms she still needed hair fibers to fill the crown while remaining glad she chose him overall.

WTMDCity had a 2500-graft transplant with Dr. Camacho, reporting costs around $6,888–7,000 USD across comments from April 2024 to February 2026. His strongest review was highly negative: he called Camacho "not worth what he charges" and a "money hungry doctor," saying Camacho personally only implanted grafts while technicians did the extractions and most of the work, raised the price at the last minute, skipped the crown he expected done, and left his right side 0.5 inches higher than his left — enough that he said he would not go to him again. In a later comment he was milder but still unsatisfied, saying the result "looks good but could've been much better" and that he wasn't "exactly satisfied," and by his most recent mention he simply noted he'd had his own transplant done with Camacho without further detail.

u/HT_Reddt had 3,040 grafts with Dr. Camacho at Bogotá Hairlines on day 0 (2024-12-11), paying about $2.70/graft (~$8,208 USD), with Camacho personally handling design/extraction and roughly 90% of implantation himself. Across a series of updates running through month 7 (2025-07-14), he reported a pain-free, faster-than-expected recovery and rated the early result '5/5, 10/10, whatever you want to call it, I don't think I could be happier with the result and the experience,' remaining 'still very happy with the progress' by month 7, though he noted his temple-area hairs were still a bit wiry at that point, which he considered normal. He said 'I thought Dr. Camacho and his team were awesome,' and praised the clinic's responsiveness, saying they respond 'usually within a few minutes.' No complications were reported at any stage.

A 25-year-old male ('25m') had a 3,000-graft procedure with Dr. Sergio Camacho in Bogotá around May 7, 2024, paying about $8,100 USD ($2.70/graft), with hotel, drivers, and a WhatsApp-reachable translator included but flight excluded. He tracked progress through 2-, 3.5-, and 6-month updates: expected shedding by 2 months, then a jump in growth by 3.5 months he described as 'seeing huge improvement recently,' and by 6 months a change so marked he 'had to double check the dates.' He consistently characterized the experience and outcome positively, from 'pretty happy with it so far' early on to 'I'm happy with it' at the 6-month mark, also noting the booking process was quick and that he'd considered a cheaper option with Dr. Pareja before choosing Camacho.

- clinic seemed to blame lack of finasteride source ↗
Had surgery with Dr. Sergio Camacho at Bogota Hairlines in the last week of August 2025 (roughly 2000 grafts to the hairline and 1000 to the crown), paying extra to avoid a full head shave. At 5 months he said he'd 'generally felt pretty good about the regrowth so far,' though his hairline looked a bit pluggy and crown growth was lagging, which he wasn't worried about at the time. By 7 months, he grew concerned that his crown density looked worse than before the transplant, writing 'I just don't think there's any way that my crown should look worse now that it did pre-HT 7 months ago' — the clinic told him to wait 12 months and partly attributed it to his not being on finasteride.

u/Key-Resource9989 had FUE with Dr. Camacho at Bogota Hairlines, agreeing to ~2200 grafts but reporting the team took ~2600 without telling him until after extraction; he posted this update more than 7 months post-op. He said the extraction left his donor area "sparse and thinned out on one side," and that the clinic "wouldn't respond for months" once he raised the issue, only wanting to hear from him if updates were positive. His overall verdict was negative, calling the clinic "very careless" and advising others to go elsewhere.

burnahair had a 3000-graft procedure at Camacho's clinic, Bogota Hairlines, but clarifies it was actually performed by 'Dr. Pareja who works with him' — not by Sergio Camacho directly. They described the clinic's neighborhood as a 'nicer/upscale area' and felt safe there. In later updates they reported being 'Happy with the results,' and in a further update titled '5 months after Hair Transplant' wrote 'Great results. I went there my self and am very happy with the results.'

Glad-Objective-5059 had 1900 grafts to the hairline with Dr. Sergio at TJ Hair Clinic in 2024, paying $4500, and posted a 5-month post-op update with photos. They rated the experience positively, calling the treatment 'top tier' and the packet upgrade with 'breakfast and lunxh' worthwhile. They noted their surgeon was different from clinic owner Dr. Fok, whom another patient said had 'fucked mine up.' Several commenters argued the before/after photos looked like two different people, which OP attributed to weight loss and skincare rather than directly addressing.

CentrifickleForce had 3,009 grafts with Dr. Camacho at Bogota Hairlines, posting one day post-op in January 2024. He said the clinic 'communicate[d] very well throughout the entire process - from booking, to travel, to surgery, to post op instructions,' and that he 'couldn’t recommend them enough - I think they did a great job.' His only complaint noted was that the procedure was more painful than expected. Nearly two years later, in an October 2025 comment, he reaffirmed having 'a positive experience.'
