How much does a hair transplant cost in Mexico?
A: In Mexico you will find prices ranging from 20,000 to 140,000 pesos per session (1,000 to 7,000 USD) or 40 to 70 pesos per graft (2 to 4 USD) which are prices very similar to those you would find in some transplant clinics in Turkey and Spain.
In the United States and Canada, the price of hair transplantation ranges from 70,000 pesos to 500,000 pesos per session (3,000 to 20,000 USD). Specifying the cost in your case requires a medical consultation in which the quantity and quality of hair you have per square centimeter in your donor area is evaluated, an evaluation known as Densitometry.
In that same consultation, your doctor must design your new hairline, its height and contour vary from patient to patient, adjusting to each case to achieve the best facial proportion. Remember, your teenage hairline is unlikely to be the goal as we need to adjust it to your adult face; These and other factors directly influence the cost.
How does hair transplantation work?
A: Hair transplantation is a not-so-complicated process that revolves around relocating (transplanting) bald-resistant hair follicles from the back of the head to the bald areas on the top of the head.
Once done, the after effects of this process apply for life. That's all because hair follicles taken from the back of the head are genetically resistant to baldness.
And that's regardless of where they relocate, eventually ending your "baldness" after one of our treatments!
Will the results of my hair transplant look natural?
A: When a procedure as complicated as hair transplantation is done correctly, the result can be amazing and can be so natural that even your hairdresser won't know you've had it done!
But the skill and experience of this multitude of hair transplant surgeons varies widely, as do their results.
It is important to choose a suitable hair clinic and procedure. That kind of right choice will ensure that you get a completely natural look afterwards.
The state-of-the-art hair transplant procedure that we recommend is called "Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation."

How long does a hair transplant procedure take?
A: A typical hair transplant session, which involves an average of 1,500 to 3,000 grafts, typically requires a full day of surgery.
It means on an outpatient basis schedule. However, most patients will arrive in the morning and have completed their procedure by late afternoon.
Does the hair transplant procedure hurt?
A: To prevent any kind of pain from needles and other tools, all patients receive local anesthesia in both their donor and recipient areas.
Most patients are confident that once anesthesia is administered they will not feel pain or discomfort during surgery.
After surgery, patients will typically feel some degree of pain and numbness, with some minor discomfort.
Most patients are actually surprised by how minimal the discomfort is from the surgical procedure.
What can I do in the first days after a treatment?
A: Take it easy, the restrictions are not that crazy and not even close to real hard surgery after recovery...
In the first three days after the hair transplant treatment is done, you should not sweat, wash your head with water, use shampoo, wash your scalp, run, do cardiovascular activities, lift weights or other trips to the gym.
However, walking around the house is fine and doing daily office tasks is fine too...
When can I shave my head for the first time after a treatment?
A: By the fourth day it is already possible but with a foil shaver.
When can I take a light shower for the first time?
A: This can be done on day 4 or later.
When can I go swimming in a normal pool with chlorine?
A: Chlorine encounter should never occur before 30 days have passed from the day of your hair transplant operation.
