The hair transplant abroad in Cancun

The hair transplant abroad in Mexico

Talking about hair transplant abroad is not easy, because depending on the country you visit, you will know if it is a good idea or not to stay a few days and enjoy what the city has to offer. In some cases, being a surgical procedure, people are afraid of getting worse and getting stuck there. 

However, the main advantage of being able to have a hair transplant abroad is that you can look for the best specialists in this field. And thanks to many factors, you can know if it is really worth a surgery abroad.

A new enemy: confinement

In Mexico, a year has passed since the COVID-19 quarantine began, and thousands of people have adapted their life and work routine to stay at home as long as possible, going out only to buy what they need.

As a result, hundreds of people have had their hair health affected. From hair loss, trichotillomania (pulling hair out by the roots), exacerbation of alopecia that was already present, increased dandruff.

And even other conditions have become common during confinement as a result of the state of alarm, stress and concern over the health crisis, and are affecting men and women alike. That’s why so many times a hair transplant abroad is necessary.

What causes it?

The cause can be found in the changes in the daily routine, which entail new behaviors, a different diet and sleep disorders, factors that cause a greater synthesis of androgens in the organism, producing hair thinning, hair loss or an acceleration in hair loss.

In addition to the above, lack of sleep has an impact on the immune system because the body reacts in the same way as to stress, secreting hormones that lead the body to a state of alert, and in these stressful periods.

We can see an increase in hair disorders such as dandruff, outbreaks of psoriasis, nervous conditions that cause people to scratch their heads or pull out their hair, among others.

Why choose Mexico for a hair transplant abroad?

This country has beautiful beaches, tourist sites of interest and many places to visit. Can you imagine coming out of your hair transplant surgery and finding yourself on the beautiful beach of Cancun or Mazatlan? In addition, the prices are quite affordable and the staff is trained to get a high-quality service.

Technological advancement in the country has made it the American capital of hair transplant. As in Turkey, Mexico has the spaces and capable hands of doctors trained and specialized in this treatment. All this, without being an expensive procedure compared to the United States or many European countries.

A secret: vitamin D

Vitamin D is vital for the human body due to its functions, especially in the nervous system to transmit messages between the brain, strengthen the immune system to fight bacteria and viruses, and calcium absorption for strong bones.

There is a relationship between lack of vitamin D and hair loss because it is synthesized in the skin and stimulates the growth of the hair follicles; if this stimulus is deficient or insufficient, hair loss can accelerate.

It is also worth mentioning the role of vitamin D in the regulation of the nervous system, immune system and metabolism in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential nutrients for the health of bones, teeth, skin and hair. When deficient, the skin looks dry, with flaking and red spots, while the hair becomes weak, brittle and lifeless.

So, beware of making a mistake and undergoing a hair transplant abroad and that in the end you will only need to increase your vitamin D levels.

For this and much more, in recent years Mexico has become the preferred destination for hair transplant abroad. People from Europe and the United States come to Mexican beaches to enjoy the sun, sand and quality hair transplant care without spending a lot of money.

The hair implants in Mexico: a little of history

The hair implants in México

The hair implants in Mexico: a little of history

The success of hair transplants Mexico depends on a phenomenon first described by Orentreich in 1957 as donor dominance. With this phenomenon, hair is taken from the permanent hair-bearing area of patients with androgenetic alopecia (donor area).

Then transferred to the hairless areas (recipient area) of the scalp, it continues to grow in its new location for as long as it would have to continue to grow in the area from which it was taken.

Elements involved in the success of hair transplantation

It is important to recognize that if the transplant is done properly, it will work. However, there are factors that are out of the doctors’ hands and here are the most common ones.

Hair cycle

This is the process of a follicle, which is a dynamic organ whose main activity lies in the regeneration and reassembly of the non-permanent portion of the follicle.

Normally the amount of new hair formation on the scalp is equal to the amount that is lost, thus maintaining consistent coverage. And as is often the case, in some cases this process is not carried out correctly. This is when hair implants Mexico are needed.

Not long ago, two additional stages in the follicular cycle were identified. A release phase (exogenous) and phase delay time (kenogen). In addition to the follicle type and physical location is what determines the length of each follicular phase.

Suffering from a hair loss or disorder

In a previous blog we have already mentioned the diseases that can cause hair loss and the disorders that could cause it until it is controlled or eradicated.

Hair loss disorders are classified by two important factors: the spread or location of hair loss and the existence of a follicle in good condition or its destruction and replacement by a scar. In general, the main factors are inflammation, genetics, environment and hormones.

Don’t follow the doctor’s instructions to the letter

There are certain indications that, depending on the procedure you choose to undergo, you will have to follow after the operation or even before. Unfortunately, one of the main causes of unsuccessful hair implants Mexico is carelessness.

Your diet leaves much to be desired

This probably comes from being a bad habit and can affect the outcome of your hair transplant. In this case, excess fat, fast food or excessive sausage consumption can be a major factor why the implant may not be successful.

Likewise, the abuse of certain spices and spicy foods could have repercussions, as well as very acidic foods. Since these make the blood coagulation slower in conjunction with fat. It is important to be honest with your doctor.

The condition in common: androgenetic alopecia

For short, AGA is the most common cause of hair loss and can affect up to 70% of men by mid-adulthood. It is no coincidence that many men you meet at age 26 begin to lose hair in large numbers.

Contrary to popular belief, there is another fairly common disorder: male pattern hair loss or MPHL. This occurs when androgens are present in genetically susceptible individuals. The recent increase in the level of prostaglandin D2 in the follicles has been suggested as one of the main causes of APM.

In this sense, the main reason why hair implants Mexico are so important in the world is because it is not only a surgical procedure, but also an opportunity to have some time alone with yourself or your family and take a break from work.

The cost of hair transplant in Mexico

Cancun Hair Restoration is a hair implants company that was funded in 2016 in Cancún México. Our hair transplant specialists have more than 17 years of experience in this area, working with some of the best companies in the U.S and U.K. At Cancun Hair Restoration we offer hair transplant surgeries with the best and most advanced techniques like FUT, FUE and Scalp Micropigmentation. We also perform facial hair transplants for any male patients that want a full beard and eyebrow hair transplant for females that are looking for fuller, thicker eyebrows. PRP treatment is also one of our many specialties. 

In our post section we have a more detailed article on the cost of hair transplants, because depending on some factors this will be the price that will be charged. However, the main thing is: selection between FUE and FUT, the duration of the surgery and extra expenses such as any complications that may arise.

Recommendations for take care of hair implants

Post-operative care of hair implants in Mexico must be carefully followed. It depends on this that the transplant is successful or that the hair grows properly. Following the doctor’s recommendations after surgery also ensures that your investment is safe. 

Plus you will soon be more than happy with the results.

A lot of personal hygiene

You must leave at least 48 hours after hair restoration in Mexico to be able to perform a first wash of your scalp. It is very important that you do it with the greatest possible care and with the indicated products.

In the list of products with which you can clean yourself, there will be a foam spray that you will gently apply to the area where the hair graft was performed, which you will remove 30 minutes later. 

Beware of some activities

It’s not that you won’t be able to do anything. In fact, you will be able to do almost all of your daily activities after your hair implant. You can go for a walk, go to the office, go shopping, etc. But, we recommend you take a couple of days off to relieve the pain and this will help you recover quickly.

Hair implants in Mexico performed by Cancun Hair Restoration are the best in the country. So don’t let these recommendations go unnoticed. Contact us and check our quality.

Say goodbye to sport for a moment

Sport is something that you will not be able to do, at least, for a month, much less if it is American Football or martial arts that require the use of a helmet. Intense sweating can affect the area where the hair transplant was performed, so we recommend resting.

During the first seven days, you can do any activity, as long as it does not involve sweating. After this period, avoid exposing yourself too much to the sun or doing things that could make you sweat too much. Also, in the first three days you will not be able to wear hats or something that covers your head; This must be uncovered and without anything to put pressure on it.

WHAT DOES THE COST OF HAIR TRANSPLANT IN MEXICO INCLUDE?

hair cancun transaplant

The hair transplant cost in Mexico can change from clinic to clinic; not everywhere will offer you a good cost and where they give you a very low price, many times the quality can be questionable. Therefore, you must consider factors beyond the final charge when choosing where to have your hair implant.

Generally, prices are counted by the number of follicles that can be grafted during the session. The final cost can range from $ 3,000.00 dollars for procedures not very complicated to $ 7,000 thousand dollars for those that require more attention.

Although the grafted follicles is a means to determine the cost, there are several factors that clinics such as Cancun Hair Restoration take into account to give a final charge that you should consider when you decide to have a hair transplant . Next, we will tell you what these elements are.

FACTOR NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR CHARGE

Factors such as the work material, the use of the facilities or the staff are considerations that as a clinic we take into account when giving the cost of a hair transplant in Mexico. However, it is necessary to point out that there is one that is very important for the correct performance of the procedure, but that will not be precisely reflected in your account.

This point is not the responsibility of the clinic; however, it is taken into account when deciding which doctors will collaborate with us; This is the plastic surgeon’s preparation. Studying medicine is not easy and much less cheap for those who practice this profession, much less achieving a specialty in plastic surgery and the study of the correct hair transplant.

It takes years and a lot of money to achieve this knowledge; In addition, we consider the work experience that the doctor has so that when you go to any of our clinics, only a surgeon with experience in hair transplantation will provide you care. The reputation and knowledge of the medical staff are essential for you to have the best hair transplant in Mexico at the lowest possible cost.

HAIR TRANSPLANT COST IN MEXICO: CONSIDERATIONS

  • Previous treatments and studies:         

Prior to your hair transplant surgery, there are studies and previous treatments that we have to carry out to ensure that the surgery will be a success. To begin with, the plastic surgeon who will carry out your surgery has to review your scalp very well in order to see the viability of the hair transplant.

During this first visit, the doctor will be able to identify the area from where all the hair follicles will be taken, since it has to be a place where the hair is abundant. Also, in case it is not a viable procedure, either due to the lack of good follicles or because some other less drastic solution is better, the doctor will inform you.

Also, to ensure that you will be in the best conditions to undergo a procedure such as a hair transplant, we will carry out general studies. These will help us to identify if it is in good condition to carry it out and guarantee its safety. Although it is a very low risk treatment, it is necessary to know it so as not to cause problems during the intervention or later.

  • Work material:         

The work material of the medical staff is specialized and is designed exclusively for use in hair transplants. Due to this, they are items with a high cost in the market and that we have to consider in the hair transplant cost in Mexico at Cancun Hair Restoration.

From the outset, the scalpels that are used for the extraction and grafting of hair implants are not like the normal ones. This has an ideal circular shape to be able to remove them without damaging the follicle. They are up to 0.6 mm thick and are known as punch; They are usually made with sapphire-tipped needles for greater precision.

In addition to the tools of the job, material for the conservation of the follicles and anesthetic medications are used so that you do not have pain during the hair transplant surgery. Not forgetting all the consumable material such as syringes, gauze or bandages necessary to maintain the greatest possible cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  • Surgery:         

hair transplant can take up to 12 hours, depending on the hair graft method used and the number of follicles that are implanted. During this time, a special operating room is used and specialist doctors and nurses prepared to carry out this work intervene.

The payment for medical staff and rental space is considered for each surgery; For this reason, the cost is included in an item apart from the rest of the charges that we consider in Hair Cancun Restoration.

However, it is not only the time of use, but the preparation and cleaning services in the operating room; maintenance of the same and the building, as well as the payment of basic services that we must guarantee as a hair transplant clinic. Water, electricity, internet and others are considerations that we must guarantee to all our clients.

  • Post-operative follow-up:         

Although visits to the doctor after surgery are not very common; It is important that you consider this in the hair transplant cost in Mexico, so that you do not have later problems. The purpose of these appointments is to review the progress of hair growth and to make sure it was a successful procedure.

This will also help not only to review progress in recovery, but to correct any problems that were experienced during surgery or that were overlooked. The doctor will indicate all the measures and care that you should have after the operation, so that you have the best results.

At the end of the operation, the medical staff dedicated to hair transplantation will indicate the dates on which you would have to return to review and you can schedule them immediately at the reception of our clinic. We guarantee the best care before, during and after surgery as long as you change your life and image in a single day.

  • Administrative staff:         

Doctors, nurses, and the rest of the medical staff are paid; however, they are not the only ones collaborating with us. All the administrative staff is important so that you receive the best care from the first moment you contact our hair transplant clinic.

All of them take charge of answering some of your questions and all the work that is not always seen when you go to any of our treatments. The management team, the maintenance team, who are in reception are very important. Your salary is generally included in the hair transplant cost in Mexico with the price of the surgery.At the time of receiving the final hair transplant cost in Mexico for you, all these factors will be considered. Some of them you should take into account, as they may not be included in the cost of your surgery; however, the final price is extremely low and of incomparable quality. Contact us now and ask for the prices of our procedures.

Best hair transplant in mexico

To achieve the best hair transplantation in Mexico, you need resistant hair follicles that have the characteristics to withstand the surgery and that give you surprising results. The surgeon in charge of your surgery will be able to identify the best ones to use and grow fully in the recipient area.

In order to identify the quality and obtain the largest number of hair follicles, the doctor will carry out certain actions to identify them. Next, we will tell you what they are, as well as important factors about this that they consider for a hair transplant.

How the surgeon selects hair follicles?

During your first visit to Cancun Hair Restoration , the doctor in charge of your operation will review the progress of your baldness and the causes that cause it. In some cases, even if they go to the best hair transplant clinic in Mexico, the patient does not have the characteristics for the procedure to be carried out successfully.

During this first visit, the doctor will tell you what will be the best treatment to follow for your hair loss problem. If the progression of alopecia is much, it will require a large number of hair follicles that only FUT hair transplantation can be effective. For cases where fewer are required, the FUE hair graft technique will be the best.

In not very serious cases, some non-invasive treatment could be the best treatment route. These are much cheaper and safer for anyone who decides to undergo one. It will be the doctor who decides and suggests what is, of all, the best way for your baldness, in case something can be done.

Later, if a FUE hair transplant is done, the most suitable donor area is reviewed to obtain all the hair follicles. The strongest are in the lateral areas and in the neck where alopecia does not usually attack. This will guarantee their strength and the guarantee that where they are placed they will not be lost due to any genetic situation.

This will also help determine what is causing the hair loss, whether it is a genetic problem or is the result of some other type of scalp disease. They will also know if hair is missing due to scars or other factors beyond the patient.

The entire procedure is done without damaging this area so that after your recovery, you will not have growth problems and will look like before the surgery. The density of the hair in these areas is great that is why all the follicles are taken from there one by one. Factors such as the thickness of the hair, its color and its waviness are very important at the time of extraction.

These characteristics will determine the quality of the follicles that will be taken to perform the best hair transplant in Mexico. Also, they will be able to determine the area that they will be able to cover and the design they must follow so that you obtain a 100 percent natural appearance. This has to look asymmetrical and aesthetic, so only an expert can carry it out.

With all this in mind, the surgeon will be able to extract all the follicles without problem and can place them in the receiving area with the full confidence that, once recovered, the hair will be able to grow naturally. Such a study, only the clinic with expert doctors in Cancun Hair Restoration hair transplantation can carry out.

How many follicles are needed for a Hair Transplant?

Each of our patients is different, as are their needs; therefore, the same number of hair follicles is not always required. Factors such as age, hair density and skin type play a very important game when extracting them for a hair transplant in Mexico.

After knowing the degree of progression of baldness in the patient, it is taken into account for a hair transplant: his age, the contrast between hair color, skin type, hair characteristics, the density of hair that is have and the expectations you have for after surgery. In this way, the doctor can determine an estimate of the follicles that you will need.

With this in mind, you will also know how many sessions it will take to get as many as possible. Usually only one day of hair grafting work is required, but on occasions when there is more advanced hair loss it can take up to two or three sessions.

Roughly, if a FUE hair transplant is followed, between 2000 and 3000 hair follicles are harvested to obtain the desired results. However, in more severe cases in which a 20 cm strip is removed, with the FUT hair graft technique, up to 6000 follicles can be obtained.To find out more details about this procedure and schedule your first appointment with Cancun Hair Restoration, write to us from our contact page with all your questions about it. With us, you will have the best hair transplant in Mexico at the lowest price, check and see for yourself.

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Mexico?

When considering a hair transplant, it’s essential to understand the factors that determine the hair transplant cost in Mexico. Each clinic evaluates several aspects to set their prices, which can vary depending on the location, the type of hair transplant surgery, and the services provided.

Typically, the more advanced the procedure, the higher the cost. However, a higher investment often translates into more benefits and improved results.

At Cancun Hair Restoration, we offer affordable hair transplant costs Mexico, paired with top-notch services. Our prices reflect our advanced facilities, expert medical team, and the latest technology. While cheaper options exist, they often come at the expense of quality care and attention.

Average Hair Transplant Cost in Mexico (2026)

Mexico has become one of the most sought-after destinations for hair restoration and for good reason. Patients from the United States, Canada, and Europe find that they can access world-class surgical care at a fraction of the cost they would pay at home, without sacrificing quality or safety.

Total Cost Based on Number of Grafts

The number of grafts a patient requires is one of the primary drivers of total cost. As a reference point:

The number of grafts needed can impact the total cost by 40%–60%, a procedure requiring 3,000 grafts often costs twice as much as one requiring 1,500.

Cost per Graft in Mexico

Most clinics in Mexico price their procedures in one of two ways: per individual graft, or as an all-inclusive package. Clinics that charge per graft typically price each unit between $1.00 and $2.50 USD. This is significantly lower than the United States, where the cost per graft ranges from $2.93 to over $10.

Typical Price Range for Hair Transplants in Mexico

Hair transplant costs in Mexico typically fall between $2,000 and $5,500 USD, while comparable procedures in the United States can reach between $8,000 and $15,000

All-inclusive packages, which cover surgeon fees, personalized hairline design, advanced follicle handling, surgical tools, digital progress tracking, post-procedure care, and lifetime follow-up, are available for around $3,000 to $4,090 USD.

What Affects Hair Transplant Cost in Mexico?

All-inclusive packages, which cover surgeon fees, personalized hairline design, advanced follicle handling, surgical tools, digital progress tracking, post-procedure care, and lifetime follow-up, are available for around $3,000 to $4,090 USD.

Hair Transplant Technique: FUE vs. FUT

The surgical method chosen also affects the final price. FUE is typically 20%–30% more expensive than FUT, given that it is more labor-intensive and leaves no linear scar. More advanced variations, such as robotic ARTAS or DHI with Choi implanter pens, carry additional costs. The use of ARTAS robotic technology can increase prices by 15%–25%, while additional PRP therapy during the transplant adds approximately $200–$400 to the total.

Surgeon Experience and Clinic Reputation

The credentials and track record of the operating surgeon represent a significant pricing factor. Board-certified specialists with AMCPER or ISAPS credentials can charge 25%–35% more for their expertise, while clinics accredited by JCI or affiliated with ASPS may charge 15%–20% more. These are not arbitrary premiums, they reflect surgical precision, safety protocols, and accountability that directly affect the quality of results.

Number of Grafts Needed

As noted above, graft count is the single most influential pricing variable. Each additional 1,000 grafts typically adds $800–$1,200 to the total cost, representing a 20%–35% increase per tier. A thorough pre-operative evaluation is the only way to determine the exact number of grafts a patient requires.

FUE vs FUT Hair Transplant Cost in Mexico

There are two main techniques for hair transplants, but their procedures and costs differ:

Due to its complexity and precision, the FUE method is more expensive than the FUT technique. Additionally, the FUE method leaves no visible marks, whereas the strip removed during FUT may be slightly noticeable.

Not all doctors perform FUE, a modern and advanced hair transplant technique. At Cancun Hair Restoration, our experienced plastic surgeons are highly qualified to perform both techniques, depending on your specific needs.

Additional Costs of Hair Transplant in Mexico

When calculating how much a hair transplant in Mexico will cost, consider all related expenses. This includes your initial consultation, follow-up appointments, medications, and post-operative care.

These costs should be factored into your overall budget for the procedure. Initial evaluations can be expensive, as can medications.

At Cancun Hair Restoration, our hair transplant costs Mexico offer not just a surgical procedure, but a comprehensive package that restores your confidence and enhances your appearance. Although it’s a surgical procedure with some risks, our medical staff is fully prepared to handle any situation, ensuring a smooth experience.

It’s crucial to address all your concerns with your doctor from the start. This includes understanding hair transplant prices in Mexico and the details of the operation. The procedure offers permanent results that are worth every dollar. Trust Cancun Hair Restoration for the best quality hair transplant at an affordable cost in Mexico.

Is It Safe to Get a Hair Transplant in Mexico?

Yes, hair transplants in Mexico are safe when performed at accredited clinics with board-certified surgeons. The key is knowing what to look for before choosing a provider.

Safety Standards and Certifications

Mexico’s health regulator, COFEPRIS, oversees medical facilities and enforces clinical safety protocols, while the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) provides global certification standards that leading clinics follow.

Surgeons certified by the Mexican Board of Plastic Surgery (CMCPER) or with ISHRS membership represent the benchmark for qualified hair restoration professionals in the country.

Risks and How to Avoid Them

All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and potential uneven results. These risks are significantly reduced when treatment is performed by a certified specialist in a properly equipped facility that follows international hygiene and safety standards.

Choosing a clinic based on price alone is the primary factor that elevates risk. Low-cost providers that cut corners on surgical supervision or sterilization are the source of the majority of complications reported in medical tourism cases.

How to Choose a Reliable Clinic

When evaluating a hair transplant clinic in Mexico, these are the factors that matter most:

Visiting the clinic in advance to observe cleanliness, organization, and patient flow is also a valuable step that helps protect your health and influences the quality of your outcome.

Is It Safe to Get a Hair Transplant in Mexico?

Cancun has established itself as one of Mexico’s leading hair restoration destinations, and the reasons extend well beyond its geography.

Mexico offers significant cost savings of 50–70% compared to U.S. prices, with internationally trained surgeons who specialize in advanced techniques like FUE and DHI, modern facilities that meet international standards, and convenient proximity for North American patients.

Cancun, specifically, combines these advantages with an infrastructure built around international medical tourism. Clinics in the Hotel Zone are designed to serve patients who travel from the United States, Canada, and Europe, with full bilingual care, airport-to-clinic transfers, and all-inclusive packages that eliminate the logistical friction common in other destinations.

Procedures performed in Cancun may reflect a premium compared to other Mexican cities, due to elevated demand from international patients, however, this difference is typically absorbed by comprehensive packages that bundle accommodation, transfers, medications, and post-operative follow-up into a single investment.

For patients traveling from abroad, Cancun also offers something no other Mexican city can match: the ability to recover in one of the world’s most recognized beach destinations, combining medical care with a comfortable, resort-quality environment.

Hair Transplant Packages

Unlike other hair transplant clinics, our inclusive packages ensure that you receive comprehensive care without hidden fees. While cheaper options exist, they often come at the expense of quality care and attention, especially when compared to our clinic in Mexico, which also attracts patients from places like San Diego.

Our approach to hair transplant surgery includes careful evaluation of the donor area, ensuring optimal results for every patient.

Why Choose Cancun Hair Restoration?

Choosing where to undergo a hair transplant is one of the most important decisions a patient can make. At Cancun Hair Restoration, every element of the experience, from the first consultation to the final follow-up, is designed to deliver results that are natural, lasting, and worth the investment.

  • Patient’s Hair Loss Condition: The severity and pattern of hair loss influence the recommended approach and cost.

FUE vs FUT Hair Transplant Techniques in Mexico: Which is Right for You?

There are two main techniques for hair transplants, but their procedures and costs differ:

    • The FUT hair transplant involves removing a strip of hair from the nape, from which all the hair follicles are extracted. 
    • The FUE hair transplant in Mexico extracts individual follicles until the required amount is obtained.

Due to its complexity and precision, the FUE method is more expensive than the FUT technique. Additionally, the FUE method leaves no visible marks, whereas the strip removed during FUT may be slightly noticeable.

Not all doctors perform FUE, a modern and advanced hair transplant technique. At Cancun Hair Restoration, our experienced plastic surgeons are highly qualified to perform both techniques, depending on your specific needs.

After Hair Restoration What are the cares you must follow?

Hair restoration mexico

Post-operative care after a hair restoration operation in Mexico should be followed to the letter, as indicated by the surgeon who performed it. This will ensure that you get the best results, and that the recovery is faster and without the slightest pain.

From cleaning your scalp, to the antibiotics you have to take to avoid infection, following these cares will ensure that you have better care of your hair and that the progress achieved with the hair transplant is not lost.

Do not forget that the hair graft is still an operation performed by an expert plastic surgeon; Therefore, the results will also depend on the care that you follow once it has been carried out.

What are the main recommendations?

From the outset, the first recommendations that the doctor will give you at the end of the hair restoration operation have to do with the area from which the hair follicle grafts were taken and where they were transplanted. This will be sensitive and irritated; therefore, it is important to treat it with extreme care to guarantee the permanence of the grafts and that you do not suffer from more redness or more severe swelling.

When you get home and when you go to sleep, it is best to keep the bands and tapes that were placed on you as long as possible. Avoid touching the treated area as much as possible, as doing so could cause pain or a more serious problem. To cope with the pain and inflammation, you will be prescribed pain relievers and de-inflammatory, as well as antibiotics to prevent infection; so, don’t forget to take them.

Cleaning

You must leave at least 48 hours after hair restoration in Mexico to be able to perform a first wash of your scalp. It is very important that you do it with the greatest possible care and with the indicated products.

In the list of products with which you can clean yourself, there will be a foam spray that you will gently apply to the area where the hair graft was performed, which you will remove 30 minutes later. Try to use warm or cold water, preferably from a bottle to prevent the pressure of the tap water from affecting you.

Since you applied your foam, you will gently apply a special shampoo to your entire scalp, with light touches without massaging or rubbing. Once you’ve finished doing all of this, pat yourself dry with absorbent paper towels; do not use a dryer or towel, as they could irritate you more.

In the donor area, you can clean yourself more naturally and dry yourself with a towel; just try to do it delicately as your skin will still be sensitive after the operation.

Daily activities

You will be able to perform almost all your daily activities on a regular basis after your hair restoration operation; You can practically go out and go to the office. However, it is best to take a couple of hours or a day off in order to better carry out recovery.

Something as simple and common as sleeping also requires care to avoid affecting the treated area. During the first week, it is best to sleep with a neck brace and face up, avoiding at all times that your skin comes into contact with the sheet.

When you are ready to go to work, you can, as long as your work does not involve significant physical effort or that you require wearing a helmet in your work area. At the very least, you should allow about two weeks if you work on construction sites or in industry.

Sport is something that you will not be able to do, at least, for a month, much less if it is American Football or martial arts that require the use of a helmet. Intense sweating can affect the area where the hair transplant was performed, so we recommend resting.

During the first seven days, you can do any activity, as long as it does not involve sweating. After this period, avoid exposing yourself too much to the sun or doing things that could make you sweat too much. Also, in the first three days you will not be able to wear hats or something that covers your head; This must be uncovered and without anything to put pressure on it.

You can have your first haircut after your hair restoration in Mexico up to three months after surgery, but this can only be done with scissors. After six months, as there is a better fixation of the hair, your stylist will be able to use the machine.

It is important that you follow all the recommendations that your doctor makes to you. Failure to do so could result in you not getting the best results from your hair transplant operation or a slower and more painful recovery.

The best thing you can do now that you ‘ve had this procedure is to take care of yourself as much as possible. By following the medical indications to the letter, you will guarantee the best preservation of hair follicles and that your scalp recovers all the vitality of before.Something important that you should also consider is the subsequent appointments to see the progress you will have after the hair restoration operation in Mexico. At Cancun Hair Restoration, we offer you the best care from the moment you arrive at our clinic. Contact us at any of our branches in Cancun or CDMX, or if you prefer from our website. Also, we have a telephone line at: 55-5466 1144; or through one email to: [email protected].

Lo que debes saber sobre el trasplante capilar FUE en México

Fue hair transplant mexico

The FUE hair transplant in Mexico technique is one of the most used for its immediate results and because it does not leave any mark on patients. At Cancun Hair Restoration, it is one of the most common procedures that we perform and that takes the least time to perform.

Our hair restoration clinic has an experience in performing this procedure; therefore, we are the best in Cancun and now in Mexico City. So that you know in detail what the FUE hair transplant technique consists of, below, we will tell you some details about it, as well as some aspects of care that you should have if you have decided to do it .

FUE Hair Transplant

The hair grafting technique called FUE is called this way since it is the acronym for Follicular Unit Extraction. As the name implies, it is transplanted individually each one of the capillary units to the head area to be treated. This is one of the most modern and advanced methods in the medical field.

It is a procedure slightly invasive requiring a local anesthetic and provides incredible results in treating diseases such as alopecia. It is a surgery that does not leave visible scars, since the capillary units are taken from areas where there is a greater concentration of hair.

The FUE hair transplant technique in Mexico consists of 8 stages that begin the moment you enter the operating room:
  1. First of all, after your reception and admission to our clinic, we will perform a haircut and wash; and then take pictures that allow you to see the progress and change that this procedure represents.

The cut is made with the intention of having hair-free spaces and being able to perform the intervention better.

  1. Later, we will give you a detailed explanation of what this procedure consists of; meanwhile, we will make a design of what will be the receiving area and from where we will obtain the hair follicles. In this prior consultation, we will identify which area of ​​your scalp has the most hair follicles that we can transplant to where you want to be treated.
  2. Once in the operating room, before starting, the plastic surgeon who will carry out the operation will mark the receiving area very well, with the design that was previously proposed; as well as the area from where all the hair follicles will be taken.
  3. The next thing will be to apply the local anesthesia in which will be the donor area; This is very similar to the one used in dental procedures. At all times you will be awake, and you will not have the slightest pain or discomfort. Since it is applied by specialist doctors, you will not run any risk with anesthesia.
  4. Once all this preamble has been done, the doctor will begin with the FUE hair transplant, first with the extraction of the hair follicles from the donor area. These are removed one by one with great care so that they are preserved as much as possible.

The instruments used to perform this intervention are millimetric and more exact than any scalpel. The incisions they generate are so tiny that they heal quickly and don’t leave the slightest mark on your scalp.

Before starting the graft, all the removed follicles are placed in a special container for counting. They are kept at a low temperature to ensure that they withstand this long procedure.

  1. Once they have been placed in a special liquid and they have already been counted, the next step will be the implementation of each of the hair obtained. To do this, local anesthesia is applied again, only now it will be in the receiving area.

To do this, we use a device called Implanters to get the new hair follicles into the scalp. The design created by the surgeon will be the insertion guide for each of them, depending on the number of follicles obtained, their direction of growth and the angle they will take when entering.

  1. At the end of this last step, we will take photos of the final result so that you can compare the change that the surgery generated. They also serve to identify the design made by the surgeon for you to recover your hair.
  2. Finally, all the postoperative care that you must follow will be explained to you to avoid any problems and guarantee that your hair follicles will remain intact. From washing, to medications you may have to take to avoid the hassle of recovery.

What You Should Know about FUE Hair Transplant in Mexico

There are certain things you should know about FUE hair transplant in Mexico, which many of our patients have asked us about. Some of them like the duration, if it hurts, how the results will look or when they will start to show.

Some of the key points about this hair transplant technique are:

  • In the first instance, it is a completely painless procedure; If that is the case, you will feel some tugging when the follicles are removed, apart from the injection of anesthesia. Other than that, you will feel absolutely nothing during the surgery.
  • Regarding the duration, we can tell you that sometimes it lasts up to 12 hours; For this reason, in many cases, it is carried out in two or three sessions. This will be determined by the number of hair follicles to be grafted. On average, they can last between 6 and 8 hours for an excellent result.
  • After 6 months of your operation, you will notice how 50 percent of the transplanted hair follicles begin to come out. You will notice the permanent result after 10 or 12 months after the intervention. So, don’t despair if you don’t notice a very significant change a week.
  • Many ask us if there will be a difference in hair texture or color; For them, our answer is that the hair grows the same as where it was taken. In the area where the hair is taken, it is usually stronger and with a more intense color, but at first glance it will not be something detectable.
  • And, about whether it is a permanent operation or after a while I will be as before; We can tell you that the FUE hair transplant in Mexico will continue to grow naturally wherever we put it. Only in cases when you have diseases such as androgenetic alopecia or for hormonal reasons can you lose your hair again. From there on, your new hair will be preserved.

All about alopecia areata

All about alopecia areata

The first thing that comes to mind when you discover that you have alopecia areata is “I need a hair transplant in Mexico.” While it is one of the most effective treatments, at Cancun Hair Repair we like people to be informed. For this reason, while you get in touch with our experts, we invite you to read all about alopecia areata.

All about alopecia areata: what is it?

Alopecia areata is understood to be an autoimmune disease, which causes hair to fall out. This fall usually occurs in large locks and, as a characteristic, they have a circular shape. However, it is variant from person to person.

Some lose their hair in specific areas. Still others have this loss in a total way. Sometimes the affected areas, after a while, see hair grow back. In other cases, it never recovers.

From Cancun Hair Restoration we tell you that your problem has a solution. Our team of experts will guide you on this path so that you can look amazing again, full of confidence in yourself.

Causes of alopecia areata

As we said earlier, alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system attacks the body itself. With alopecia areata, cells of the immune system surround and attack the hair follicles, causing the hair attached to it to fall out. The greater the attack of the immune system, the greater the hair loss.

But not everything is bad. Although this attack causes hair loss, it is very rare that it destroys hair follicles. With this, we want to tell you that it is very likely that the hair growth process will resume, either naturally or with a hair transplant procedure.

Risk factors

Doctors do not yet have a definite cause for this to happen, but the answer is believed to lie in the genes. The probability of developing alopecia areata is high if you have more than one of these risk factors:

  • Asthma or seasonal allergies
  • Thyroid disease
  • Down’s Syndrome
  • Vitiligo
  • Cancer
  • Pernicious anemia
  • Someone in your family has suffered from alopecia areata

Types of alopecia areata

It is possible to distinguish different types of this condition. Its main form is the most common, but it is not the only one:

Alopecia areata totalis. The person suffering from it loses all of their hair.

Alopecia areata universalis. It consists of the loss of all the hair on the body. That is, not only the head is affected: facial and body hair also disappear.

Diffuse alopecia areata. Hair suddenly thins. No patches are visible, but the hair appears fragile and brittle.

Alopecia areata due to ophiasis. Hair loss occurs around and at the back of the head.

Can alopecia areata be cured?

The answer is no. But it is possible to grow hair back. Some people will have a natural regrowth of hair. Others will need an auxiliary treatment for this. Some more will have cycles of hair loss and growth.

Remember that each case is special and with specific characteristics. To find the most optimal solution for you, contact us. Come with the experts of Cancun Hair Restoration and get a great hair again! We are waiting for you.
