Question 1

Is a hair transplant in Colombia safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our partner clinic, Amaya Hair Clinic, is led by Dr. Paula Gómez — a board-certified surgeon with ISHRS fellowship training. The facility meets international safety standards with full anesthesiology support and sterile surgical suites. Colombia is a recognized destination for medical tourism precisely because of its high-caliber specialists at a fraction of US or European costs.

Question 2

How much does a hair transplant cost in Colombia?

Accepted Answer

FUE hair transplant packages start from $5,000 USD (Restore) up to $7,500 USD (Diamond), all-inclusive. This compares to $15,000–$25,000 in the US or UK for the same procedure. All packages include the surgery, accommodation, airport transfers, medications, and 12 months of virtual follow-up.

Question 3

How long do I need to stay in Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Most patients stay 3–4 days. Day 1 is arrival and consultation, Day 2 is the procedure (6–8 hours), Day 3 is the post-op wash and check-up, and Day 4 you're cleared to fly. We can extend your stay if you'd like to explore Colombia.

Question 4

What does MedVoyage include in the package?

Accepted Answer

All packages include the FUE hair transplant surgery, pre-op consultation, post-op care kit (shampoo + medications), private airport and clinic transfers, hotel accommodation, a bilingual coordinator, and 12 months of virtual follow-up consultations. Wellness and Diamond tiers add spa treatments, extended stays, and VIP services.

Question 5

What dental treatments do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Through our partner clinic Prevedonto in Bogotá, we offer a full range of dental treatments: porcelain veneers, dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, orthodontics (Invisalign and traditional braces), teeth whitening, crowns, and general dentistry. All work is performed by board-certified specialists.

Question 6

How much can I save compared to the US or Canada?

Accepted Answer

Patients typically save 50–70% compared to North American prices. A single dental implant costs $800–$1,200 USD in Colombia vs. $3,000–$5,000 in the US. A full set of porcelain veneers (10 teeth) runs $2,500–$4,000 USD vs. $15,000–$25,000 in the US — without compromising on materials or expertise.

Question 7

How long should I plan to stay for dental work?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the treatment. Teeth whitening or a single crown can be completed in 3–5 days. Veneers typically require 7–10 days (design, preparation, and placement). Dental implants require two trips: the implant placement (5–7 days), then crown placement 3–6 months later (3–5 days). We help you plan both visits.

Question 8

Are the dentists experienced with international patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Prevedonto team specializes in treating international patients and has handled hundreds of cases from the US, Canada, and Europe. All coordinators are bilingual, consultations are conducted in English, and aftercare instructions are provided in your language. The team is accustomed to tight travel schedules.

Question 9

Is Colombia safe for medical tourism?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Colombia has become one of Latin America's top medical tourism destinations, with internationally trained specialists, JCI-accredited hospitals, and modern facilities. Bogotá in particular is a safe, cosmopolitan city with excellent infrastructure. MedVoyage only partners with verified clinics that meet rigorous quality and safety standards.

Question 11

Do the doctors speak English?

Accepted Answer

Our medical coordinators are fully bilingual (English/Spanish) and accompany you throughout your stay. Most specialist surgeons also speak conversational English. All consultations, consent forms, and aftercare instructions are provided in English. You will never feel lost or unable to communicate your needs.

Question 12

What happens after I return home?

Accepted Answer

All packages include virtual follow-up consultations (12 months for hair transplant, ongoing for dental). Our coordinators remain available by WhatsApp and email. If you need in-person follow-up, we can coordinate with partner physicians in your home country. In the rare event of a complication, we have established protocols to ensure prompt, appropriate care.
