Hair Transplant Clinic
in Tijuana, Mexico

The cost of a hair transplant at Hairfix starts at $2,990 USD. From there, the cost varies according to the size and the number of areas to be covered.

Currently, there are three types of hair implants in Mexico techniques: FUT, FUE, and DHI. All three offer excellent results. The choice of technique depends on your specific case, so the evaluation of a specialist is essential.

FUT, Follicular Unit Transplantation, or strip technique, is the oldest and gets its name because a strip of scalp is removed to obtain the hair follicles that will be implanted in the recipient area. It is a method that allows for many follicles to be obtained and to treat a large surface area. However, the extraction involves cutting skin and blood vessels, making it potentially painful and leaving a horizontal scar on the back of the neck.

On the other hand, the FUE technique, Follicular Unit Extraction, as the name suggests, involves the extraction of follicular units from the donor area and then implanting them in the recipient area. These units are small pieces of tissue with hair follicles that undergo treatment before being grafted into a natural pattern, with small and invisible scars. However, the treatment of the follicles reduces their survival rate, and small holes must be made to graft them, making it a painful process.

Both techniques provide favorable results, but the choice between FUT and FUE should be based on the evaluation of the specialist, as well as the patient´s needs and goals.

Direct Hair Implantation, or DHI, involves the manual extraction of follicular units, which are then directly implanted in the recipient area using an implantation pen.

In this method, extraction and implantation are done in a single session, minimally invasive, almost painless, with natural results, no scars, and minimal discomfort.

Grafts are formed by follicular units that have one to five hairs. During the transplant, the follicular units are grouped according to the number of hairs and implanted in the recipient area.

The number of follicular units to transplant depends on factors such as the type of baldness, available hair, and areas affected by alopecia. It might be thought that more hair loss requires more follicles, but the suitability of donor follicles, potential future hair loss, among other factors, must be determined.

To determine the necessary follicles for transplantation, a specialist’s evaluation is needed to analyze the most critical factors for a successful implant with satisfying results for the patient.

In general, the age range for hair implants is between 18 and 80 years. It is most recommended between 30 and 40 years, depending on factors such as the type of alopecia and its stabilization. Once again, the importance of the specialist’s evaluation is emphasized to determine the best time for a transplant.

The specialist will assess the amount of hair and follicles to be grafted depending on the degree of baldness, hair density in the donor area, and the size of the recipient area.

Hair density is measured by the number of follicular units (FU) per square centimeter. Starting from 40 lost FUs, bald areas begin to appear on the head. Therefore, grafts cover between 45 FUs and 60 FUs per square centimeter for natural looking results.

Generally, healthy follicular units are extracted from the back of the head or the donor area because the hair in that area is stronger and genetically programmed to continue growing, and it does not tend to miniaturize over time. This way, the transplanted hair will look natural and continue to grow.

The donor area, from which follicular units are extracted, usually covers the temporal and occipital part of the scalp, from the ear line to the back of the neck. The extent of this area depends on the patient’s needs.

Yes, the hair implants in Mexico procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and can be done in a single session.

Generally, hair implants in Tijuana have high success rates because they are done with autologous grafts, or the patient’s own. This increases the chances of success since there is no risk of rejection, and the risk of infections is very low.

Generally, transplanted hair takes about twelve months to fully develop. Hair growth from the transplanted follicles begins in the first three months, and a noticeable aesthetic change can be seen at six months. However, the final result will be seen after the first year, as the follicles will have fully integrated.

Hair transplants are performed by specialists in hair grafts, and during the procedure, they may have assistants.

The hair transplant specialist designs the hairline based on the patient’s gender, facial anatomy, degree of alopecia, and the desired results.

In general, hair transplantation is a safe procedure, but like any intervention, there may be risks such as:

• Pain during injection
• Discomfort after the graft
• Reactions to anesthesia, such as dizziness, nausea, and headache
• Bleeding after the intervention
• Swelling
• Crusts in the transplant area
• Folliculitis
• Scalp hypersensitivity

Thanks to hair graft techniques like DHI, up to three thousand follicular units can be implanted in a single session, with adequate density and a natural aesthetic appearance.

Hair transplanted using techniques like FUT, FUE, and DHI does not fall out again. The extraction of follicular units is done in hidden areas that do not compromise the patient’s appearance. Additionally, transplanted hair has genetic information predisposing it to grow, unaffected by hormonal changes or alopecia. Therefore, the success rate of a hair transplant is over 95%.
