Hair Transplants

Hair transplants are the most modern technique for treating baldness permanently. Plastic surgeons create hair transplants by harvesting hair follicles from the back of the head. Missing hair in this area is unnoticeable, and these hair follicles are resistant to balding. Doctors use a topical anesthesia on the scalp, and insert the hair transplants into the bald area with a micropunch tool while the patient is awake. In the US, hair transplants cost around $6,900, and in the UK about £4,700. Patients can save money on this procedure by finding a skilled plastic surgeon abroad.

In Mexico, the price of hair transplant surgery is only $2,000 or £1,300. There are many clinics for baldness treatment in Mexico, and no shortage of licensed cosmetic surgeons who perform hair transplants. Before the procedure, the doctor treats the scalp with an antibiotic solution. Then, using sterile tools, the follicles are harvested from one area of the head and transplanted to the bald spot. The procedure takes one to two hours, and patients can leave the clinic once the doctor is finished. There is no scarring, but patients must use special dressing to protect the area for 10 days. The existing hairs in the follicles will fall out a few weeks later, and then new hair will grow out of the follicles in the coming months. Mexican hair transplant doctors are experienced and deliver top-quality care. Patients will be pleased when they look in the mirror and see a more youthful scalp.
