Your hair reaches its full density, natural look, and permanent thickness. Results that last a lifetime.

Step-by-Step from San Diego
Take I-5 South toward the US-Mexico border in San Ysidro, CA.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about hair transplant in Tijuana — answered honestly.
Hair Transplant Glossary
Understanding the terminology helps you make an informed decision. Here are the key terms.
FUE — Follicular Unit Extraction
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.
DHI — Direct Hair Implantation
An advanced variation of FUE where follicles are implanted using a special pen (Choi implanter), allowing greater density and precision in hairline design.
Graft
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.
Donor Area
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.
Recipient Area
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.
Norwood Scale
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.
Shock Loss
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.
PRP — Platelet-Rich Plasma
A complementary treatment often combined with hair transplant. Uses the patient's own blood platelets to stimulate follicle growth and improve healing speed.
Hairline Design
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.
