Traveling to Tijuana for a hair transplant is a safe and efficient solution for patients looking to save time without compromising quality. Located near the U.S. border, our clinic offers a fully guided experience within a secure medical complex, reducing travel stress and simplifying every step of the journey.
Hair restoration is a proven solution for men looking to restore a refreshed appearance and renewed confidence. While hair transplant procedures in the U.S. can cost between $10,000 and $20,000, many patients are choosing high-quality alternatives that deliver excellent results at a more accessible cost.
At Hairfix, located inside NewCity Medical Plaza, we’ve removed the complexity from medical travel. Our secure, One-Stop-Shop Experience brings your procedure, luxury recovery, and lab work together in a single, modern medical complex, so you can focus on results, not logistics.
| Factor | Typical USA Clinic | Hairfix |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $12,000 – $18,000 | $3,500 – $5,500 |
| Lab Work | Off-site | On-site (Compass Lab) |
| Recovery | Drive home same day | Luxury Suite (Quartz Hotel) |
| Post-Op Care | Phone call | In-person next-day |
The One-Stop-Shop Experience: Why You Never Have to Leave
Most Tijuana clinics require you to take Ubers to labs, pharmacies, and hotels. We operate differently. Our clinic is part of NewCity Medical Plaza, the most advanced medical ecosystem in Latin America.
Luxury Recovery: Quartz Hotel & Spa
Forget “hotels near the clinic.” We book your stay at the Quartz Hotel & Spa, just steps from the medical tower where our clinic is located.
- Zero Commute: After your 6-8 hour procedure, you simply take a private elevator to your room.
- Care Rooms: Specialized rooms designed for medical recovery with adjustable beds and 24/7 assistance buttons.
- Wellness Focus: Holistic menus and a quiet environment tailored for healing.
On-Site Diagnostics: Compass Lab & Imaging
You won’t spend your first morning in a taxi. Compass Lab & Imaging is located within our building. We take you there for your mandatory pre-op blood work and health screening.
- Accuracy: State-of-the-art diagnostic technology.
- Speed: Results are sent directly to our surgeons within hours, ensuring you are cleared for your hair transplant procedure immediately.
On-Site Pharmacy: Farmacia La Más Barata
No extra stops, no confusion. Farmacia La Más Barata, one of the most renowned pharmacies in Tijuana, is located within NewCity Medical Plaza.
- Convenience: Should you need any additional medications or over-the-counter items, a full-service pharmacy is available on-site for your convenience.
- Trust: A well-established pharmacy known citywide for reliability and fair pricing.
Crossing the Border: From California to Our Chair
Most of our patients drive from Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego, or fly from beyond. Here is exactly how the logistics work:
If You Are Flying
Most patients fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN). From there, you have two primary options:
- Private Pickup: We can arrange a private driver to meet you at the airport and take you directly across the border to the NewCity complex.
- The CBX Bridge: If you fly into Tijuana (TIJ) via a domestic connection, the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) bridge allows you to walk across the border through a terminal, avoiding all traffic.
If You Are Driving
The San Ysidro Port of Entry is the busiest in the world, but don’t let that intimidate you. Head south on I-5 or I-805. Once you cross the border, our complex is less than five minutes away.
- NewCity Plaza offers valet parking, so your vehicle remains securely inside the gated complex at all times.
If you prefer not to drive, we also offer a private chauffeur service. Our drivers handle the border crossing and transportation for you, allowing you to relax and focus entirely on your recovery, without navigating traffic or border checkpoints.
Going back home: How does it work?
The journey home should be the easiest part of your experience—a smooth transition from our care back to the comfort of your own home. After a successful hair transplant, the last thing you want is a stressful commute. We have engineered every detail of your return to ensure you remain relaxed and physically comfortable, preserving the peace of mind you gained during your stay.
Whether you are behind the wheel or relaxing in a shuttle, here is how we make your crossing back into California feel like a breeze:
This is the gold standard of medical travel, designed for those who want to focus entirely on their recovery without touching a steering wheel or navigating border gates. Once your stay is complete and our medical team has given you the final post-op clearance, your chauffeur will meet you directly at the NewCity Medical Plaza lobby.
- Door-to-Door Service: We pick you up from the complex and drive you across the border, dropping you off directly at your home or a pre-arranged central location.
- Expert Navigation: Our drivers are experts at navigating the border lanes and will handle all the communication at the checkpoints while you relax in a climate-controlled, premium vehicle.
- Post-Op Comfort: After a hair transplant, you may feel tired or simply want to keep your head elevated and shielded from the sun. A private driver allows you to rest in the backseat rather than focusing on traffic.
*Our private transportation service can also cross through the SENTRI lane.
The common concern of a long border wait is a thing of the past for our patients. We solve this problem entirely.
Medical FastPass
As our patient, you receive a Medical FastPass (officially known as the FastLane). This is an exclusive, high-priority pass issued by the city to authorized medical providers. It allows you to enter a dedicated lane that skips the long general queues, getting you back on the road in record time.
Standard Wait: 2–4 Hours
Your Wait with Us: 15–30 Minutes
How to use it:
- The Pass: Before you check out of the Quartz Hotel & Spa, our team provides you with your official pass.
- The Entrance: You will head to the dedicated “FastLane” entrance in the Zona Rio area, just five minutes from our clinic.
- The Priority: You will be funneled directly toward the U.S. Customs booths, bypassing miles of idling traffic.
SENTRI
If you are already a member of the SENTRI or Global Entry programs, you can use the dedicated SENTRI lane as usual. However, the Medical FastPass is a fantastic alternative for your travel companions or for patients who do not have a pre-approved government background check but still want “express” speeds.
You never have to navigate the logistics alone. We provide a private shuttle that picks you up directly from the NewCity complex and drops you off at the pedestrian entrance of your choice. We ensure you are at the right gate with your paperwork in hand, so your journey home is as seamless as your results.
If you prefer not to drive, crossing back on foot is an incredibly efficient option. Our location makes it simple to access the most convenient portals.
- PedEast (San Ysidro): The most popular choice for those being picked up or taking the San Diego Trolley.
- PedWest: A modern crossing located right next to the Las Americas Premium Outlets, often boasting very short lines.
- CBX Bridge: If you are flying out of the Tijuana Airport (TIJ), you simply walk across the private, secure skybridge directly into the U.S. terminal.

| Shuttle Service | Patients being picked up at the border or using the San Diego Trolley; we drop you safely at the pedestrian gate entrance. | 15 – 45 Minutes |
