Hair Transplant FAQs

Tijuana has become a global hub for hair restoration due to its combination of board-certified expertise and cost-effective medical infrastructure.

We are conveniently located for patients crossing from the US, offering assistance with logistics to ensure a stress-free experience.

At HMR we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every patient’s hair, goals, and scalp health are unique — and so is the treatment we design.

Your first step is a personalized medical evaluation with one of our certified surgeons. During this consultation, we’ll examine your scalp, donor area, hair pattern, and expectations to create a plan that feels realistic, natural, and truly life-changing.

Every case is different, and our job is to help you choose the right timing for the most natural, lasting results. Most patients are already in their late 20s or older, once their hair loss pattern has stabilized. Younger patients may still be losing hair rapidly, so we usually recommend waiting until the progression is clearer.

That depends on the extent of your hair loss and density you’re aiming for. Some patients need 1,500 grafts, others may need 3,000 or more in the same area. In your consultation, we’ll map your hairline, donor area and future needs so you know exactly what to expect.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable they feel — many even fall asleep during the procedure.

Thanks to local anesthesia and the experience of our surgical team, discomfort is minimal. You’ll be awake, relaxed, and able to listen to music or watch a movie while the procedure is performed.

(Yes — you can send us your playlist or movie picks in advance!)

Not always. We offer both shaven and non-shaven FUE options — perfect if you prefer a more discreet procedure. Conditions apply.

Hair growth is a gradual process, and patience is key — but the wait is worth it.

Most patients see the first visible changes between months 4 and 6, with full, natural results around 12 months. At HMR, we follow your progress closely and schedule check-ins to ensure you feel supported throughout the entire journey.
