New hair begins to grow! Most patients see noticeable improvement between months 3 and 6 post-procedure.
Your hair reaches its full density, natural look, and permanent thickness. Results that last a lifetime.
Every patient receives free follow-up consultations, a dedicated patient coordinator accessible via WhatsApp, and a 12-month monitoring program — because your result is our reputation.

The most common questions about hair transplant in Tijuana — answered honestly.
Understanding the terminology helps you make an informed decision. Here are the key terms.
The gold standard hair transplant technique. Individual follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area and implanted in the recipient area. No linear scar, faster recovery.
An advanced variation of FUE where follicles are implanted using a special pen (Choi implanter), allowing greater density and precision in hairline design.
A single follicular unit containing 1–4 hair follicles. The number of grafts needed determines the procedure's scope and price. Average: 1,500–3,000 grafts per session.
The zone — typically the back and sides of the scalp — from which follicles are extracted. This area is genetically resistant to hair loss and provides permanent grafts.
The balding or thinning area of the scalp where extracted follicles are implanted. Results depend on the surgeon's artistry in angle and direction of implantation.
The standard classification of male pattern baldness, rated I to VII. A higher Norwood score indicates more advanced hair loss and typically requires more grafts.
Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs in the first 2–6 weeks post-procedure. This is completely normal — the follicles remain alive and regrow within 3–4 months.
A complementary treatment often combined with hair transplant. Uses the patient's own blood platelets to stimulate follicle growth and improve healing speed.
The artistry of planning and drawing the new hairline before surgery. A natural-looking, age-appropriate hairline design is the hallmark of an expert surgeon.
