Why Choose Dr. Pitella

Dr. Pitella has a full-time dedicated hair restoration clinic - Transplante Capilar FUE, based in Vitoria, a beautiful coastal city in Brazil. Dr. Pitella is passionate about learning and innovating new surgical techniques. He works with a junior doctor who assists him in extracting and implanting grafts for specific occasions. Dr. Pitella prefers a very hands-on, custom approach. He handles all of his consultations, plans, designs every procedure, and creates the recipient sites for every patient. He offers an entirely bespoke package, where he performs every part of the procedure with the utmost attention to detail and finesse. In this package, he devises the surgical plan, designs the hairline, creates the recipient sites, performs all extractions, and implants most of the grafts himself with assistance from his junior doctor. 

Dr. Pitella performs FUE solely in his practice. Dr. Pitella uses 0.9 to 0.95 manual and motorized punches. He performs body hair transplants (BHT) on patients with advanced hair loss and patients who have exhausted their scalp hair donor supply. He uses the dull needle implantation (DNI) technique to create pre-made incisions with the sapphire blade and implant the grafts with Choi and Lion implanter pens.
