Dr Rafael de Freitas is een Braziliaanse arts, afgestudeerd in Geneeskunde en Chirurgie aan de University of Extremadura in Spanje, met een master in Trichologie en Haarimplantologie van de University of Alcalá in Madrid.1 Hij leidt Clínica de Freitas, gevestigd in Valencia met een consultatiepraktijk in Barcelona en een nieuwere kliniek in Brazilië; de kliniek stelt dat alle ingrepen in Valencia plaatsvinden.2 De claims over het aantal behandelingen zijn niet consistent: meer dan 1.500 haaringrepen in de ene passage, meer dan 3.000 in een andere.2
Behandelingen en technieken
De kliniek stelt dat Dr de Freitas zich uitsluitend op FUE richt.1 Consulten worden uitsluitend door de arts gedaan.3 Op de dag van de ingreep spreekt de arts de patiënt vooraf en tekent hij samen met de patiënt het donorgebied en het ontvangende gebied af.5 Voor de extractie worden punches van 0,75 mm tot 0,90 mm gebruikt, gekozen op basis van de haardiameter; daarna plaatst de arts zelf de grafts en bepaalt hij de diepte, hoek en richting van elke graft.5 Sessies duren één dag voor maximaal 1.600 follikels of twee dagen voor 2.000 tot 3.200 follikels.4 De homepage noemt ook haarmesotherapie, low-level lasertherapie en PRP onder de behandelingen.3 De prijzenpagina noemt daarnaast lichaamshaartransplantatie en littekencorrectie als ingrepen die de kliniek uitvoert.4
Prijzen
Er worden geen vaste prijzen gepubliceerd; de kliniek stelt dat de kosten afhangen van het aantal grafts, de complexiteit van littekens of correcties, de moeilijkheid van een lichaamshaartransplantatie en de eigenschappen van het donorhaar.4 De prijs per graft zou dalen naarmate de sessie groter is, en terugkerende patiënten krijgen een lagere prijs voor latere ingrepen.4 De opgegeven prijs omvat het honorarium van de arts, verpleging, operatiekamerkosten, materialen, medicatie en plaatselijke verdoving; reiskosten voor controles zijn voor rekening van de patiënt.4
Boeken en nazorg
Het eerste consult is gratis en vrijblijvend en beoordeelt de mate van kaalheid en het aantal grafts.4 De kliniek biedt een garantie op een groeipercentage van 95%, waarbij follikels die niet groeien worden vervangen, en zegt patiënten minstens 18 maanden na de ingreep te wachten voordat de groei wordt beoordeeld.6 Om in aanmerking te blijven moeten patiënten ook naar de controleonderzoeken komen en foto's sturen na 3, 6, 9 en 12 maanden, anders kan de kliniek de garantie intrekken; de garantie geldt alleen voor sessies onder 50 follikels per cm2.6 Het percentage daalt naar 85% bij een hoofdhuid die niet volledig kan worden geschoren, naar 65% bij correcties of patiënten die het voorgeschreven finasteride/minoxidil-schema weigeren, en naar 75-85% bij diffuse alopecia.6
Kwalificaties en lidmaatschappen
De kliniek stelt dat Dr de Freitas physician member is van de International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).1

StayThick35 had two hair transplants with Dr. Rafael De Freitas in Spain, including a second session of 2,900 grafts about two months before an August 2023 post, and later cited 8,900 euros for 3,000 grafts while 'approaching a full year post op' as of a November 2024 comment. Across posts from 2023 through her most recent comment in April 2026, she consistently praised him — 'He is one of the best in the world,' 'Freitas is an excellent surgeon... who produces consistent, natural results,' and 'a true artist' — reporting undetectable results with no visible rows. In her latest update she said having had two transplants with him 'has been life changing,' with no complications reported on her own procedures.

AdAny1837 had a first hair transplant with Dr. Rafael de Freitas in Valencia, Spain, placing 3,000 grafts on a Norwood 3-4 hairline, followed by a second procedure adding 2,500 grafts to the crown and frontal area. Around 7 months after the first surgery he called the surgeon "professional" and said he'd "highly recommend" him, though in a separate post from the same period he compared his growth unfavorably to other patients' 6-month results and, worried the transplant might be failing, was reassured by commenters that no crown grafts had even been placed yet. Aftercare was complicated by trouble getting oral minoxidil/dutasteride prescribed in Germany, causing scalp irritation. Six months after the second (retouch) surgery he reported clear disappointment, writing "I look like a Cunt so far :(" and describing a "reversed mohawk" look.

u/MikhaelK96 booked Dr Rafael De Freitas after comparing him to Dr Laorwong, paying an $800 deposit toward a quoted 7500 EUR total for roughly 2600 grafts, and underwent a two-day hairline restoration (front, entrances, central scalp) in August 2024. Before committing they had weighed other clinics, called communication responsive on WhatsApp, but were still "I’m just worried about row implants or how noticeable they’d be," and separately voiced skepticism about how open De Freitas is to patient suggestions. After day 1 of surgery, they said "I trust his expertise and renowned reputation in the community" and reported feeling excited and confident, though it was too early to judge results.

u/hairlosscoper (25M) first received a quote from Dr. Rafael Freitas in February 2023 for 2700 grafts, priced above 8000 euros, after 1.5 years on low-dose finasteride, and reported a roughly 1.5-year wait for surgery. By December 2023 he was still planning to have Freitas perform the transplant, now for 2700 grafts, in summer 2024. As of his July 2024 update he was booked for surgery the following month at 2600 grafts, saying "i do trust him as he is world class," while hoping the result would look "natural and not too aggressive/straight." No post-operative outcome has been reported yet.

VividDonkey6601 put down a refundable deposit with Dr. Rafael De Freitas in October 2024 for a 3,000-graft, 2-day FUE procedure, initially eyeing summer 2025 and later reporting a July 2025 booking; no price was ever stated. Through both posts they remained pre-op with no firsthand surgical experience to report. By January 2025 they described themselves as 'hesitant' about the booking, having seen many positive recent reviews for other Bangkok-area surgeons (Ratchathorn, Laorwong) but few recent reviews of Freitas.

OP is 4 months post-op with 2,000 grafts at Clinica De Freitas in Spain, posting an update on 2026-05-25 with 8 photos from the 4-month mark. He said, 'Honestly i don't know what to think as of right now,' feeling behind other 4-month posters since hair on both temples hadn't grown out yet, though he wasn't worried and expected it to fill in by months 5-6. He also struggled to tell new baby hairs apart from his existing hair. A commenter told him he was actually 'on schedule,' which he said matched what he'd already been telling himself.

Dry_Sorbet7643 had 2,100 grafts with Dr Freitas in Valencia in 2023; no price is stated. He repeatedly called Freitas 'a good surgeon' whose 'work was very good' — even barbers couldn't tell — but was consistently bothered by the hairline's naturalness, describing it as 'too thick and straight' and 'a little artificial looking,' which 'does really bother' him. About 15 months post-op he said he was still 'happy with my hair line' overall but, being 'extremely picky,' pursued a second opinion and later got a 700-graft refinement from Dr Pekiner, whose result he preferred for its naturalness.

ClinicaDeFreitas posted two case-report threads for Dr. Rafael de Freitas — a 2,924-graft FUE+DHI case (2026-07-13, 12 months post-op) and a 3,589-graft FUE case (2026-05-11, 12 months post-op) — with before/design/placement and 12-month result photos, but no price, surgery date, or complications stated. The account name matches the clinic's own name, and no personal patient verdict was ever written in either thread. On the second thread, commenter u/DarkWashGenes pushed back, saying the account looked like the clinic marketing itself and that 'His results have taken a downturn.'

As of this report he is still pre-op, on dutasteride and oral minoxidil, with no surgery, cost, or outcome details yet available.

OP planned a conservative 1800-graft procedure with Rafael De Freitas, scheduled for 2025, initially saying he was 'placing myself in the hands of a good doctor.' After a commenter claimed De Freitas is a 'row implanter' who 'always use[s] more donor supply than necessary,' OP said this 'moderately concerns me,' though at that point he still rated De Freitas 'one of the best.' By a later update he had reversed course, saying he was 'getting closer and closer to canceling my appointment with Dr. F to finally book with Ratchathorn,' while also weighing Dr. Patty and Dr. Bek. No surgery with De Freitas occurred in the thread, and price or who performs the procedure was never stated.
