Dr. Ximena Vila
Founder and Medical Director·Clínica Ximena Vila (Injerto Capilar Ximena Vila)
Spain
Background
The clinic is located in San Sebastián de los Reyes, near Madrid 2. Dr Ximena Vila founded it in September 2018, describing it as a personal project 5. She graduated from Universidad Austral de Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2005 1. She trained in general surgery at Hospital Carlos G. Durand through 2009, then specialized exclusively in FUE hair microimplantation as a fellow of Dr Lorenzo 1. Dr Johana Rodrigues joined the team in January 2022, described by the clinic as bringing five years of experience treating alopecia and developing its transplant techniques 1. The clinic states its team works under Dr Vila's supervision and strict protocols 2.
Procedures and techniques
The clinic states it works exclusively with FUE, manual or motorized per case, in modalities including full shave, "military" shave, flap and long hair, and that it also treats repairs of previous transplants 3. On surgery day the team photographs the scalp dry and wet and marks the treatment and donor areas in cm2, distinguishing a safe donor zone from uncertain transition areas 3. Extraction is done lying down under local anesthesia; the site attributes the manual-or-motorized choice to "the professional in charge" without naming who performs it 3. Before implantation, the hairline design is shown to the patient for approval, and some cases run across two days, repeating day one's routine minus the design 3. The consultation page states the best candidate is a patient whose hair loss has stabilized, since the native hair present at the start of the intervention needs to remain in place or the transplant result could lose coverage and require future touch-ups 4.
Pricing
No numeric prices are published. The clinic instead says it offers financing options tailored to each patient's needs 3.
Booking and aftercare
Consultation is in person before surgery; patients are asked to keep hair no shorter than a #3-4 clipper guard so coverage can be assessed 3. The next day, patients return for a first wash, photos and aftercare instructions 3. Its informed consent states an 85% growth guarantee, dropping to 50% for repairs of previous transplants, post-trauma scars or scarring alopecia 3. A shortfall not the patient's fault gets a no-charge repeat where the donor area allows, though the guarantee is stated to never be financial 3. It excludes patients who skip postoperative care or miss the required 5th- and 12th-month reviews 3.
Credentials and memberships
The clinic states Dr Vila is a member of the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) and the World FUE Institute 1.

- Would pass if Finasteride is required source ↗
Rafepa88 said they had an appointment with Dr Ximena Vila in Spain in June 2021. They understood she might require at least six months of Finasteride before performing the procedure; Rafepa88 said they would pass if so because they did not want to take it, citing possible side effects as “nasty and sometimes even permanent.”
