Cost of Alopecia Treatment in Cuba (Piloactive)

Understanding Treatment Costs

The cost of alopecia treatment in Cuba varies based on the type and extent of hair loss, the duration of the in-clinic phase, the amount of take-home Piloactive medication needed, and whether complementary therapies (ozone therapy, constitutional therapy, corticosteroid injections) are included. Because each program is personalized following a dermatological evaluation, costs are quoted individually after the medical team reviews the patient's case.

SMC Salud provides transparent cost estimates as part of the treatment proposal, with a detailed breakdown of all services and no hidden charges.

What the Program Typically Includes

A comprehensive alopecia treatment program with Piloactive in Cuba typically includes:

• Dermatological assessment — Clinical examination, trichoscopy (scalp dermoscopy), blood panel (thyroid, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, hormones, autoimmune markers), and baseline photography. • Piloactive medication — Topical placental-extract lotion for in-clinic application and take-home supply. • In-clinic treatment (2-4 weeks) — Daily Piloactive application sessions under dermatological supervision, with self-application training. • Complementary therapies (if indicated) — Ozone therapy for scalp circulation, constitutional (homeopathic) therapy, or corticosteroid injections for alopecia areata. • Accommodation — Hotel accommodation for the patient and an accompanying family member. • Interpreter services — Professional medical interpreters in Arabic, English, Turkish, French, German, and other languages. • International patient coordination — 24/7 access to coordinators. • Medical report — Documentation of treatment, progress photos, and home care recommendations. • Telemedicine follow-up — Continued consultation after returning home.

The specific combination and duration determines the total program cost.

Factors Affecting Cost & Payment

Variables influencing cost include the type and severity of alopecia (more extensive hair loss requires more medication), in-clinic treatment duration, amount of take-home medication supplied, whether complementary therapies are included, accommodation level, and number of accompanying family members.
