Hair Restoration in Tijuana for US and International Patients
A practical guide to your trip, from San Diego pickup and the suggested itinerary to what to pack and how remote follow-up works after you return home.
Most US and international patients fly into San Diego, coordinate pickup and receive care in Tijuana. The clinic is close enough for a short medical travel itinerary while still offering significant cost advantages compared with many US clinics.
Cross-border care

Your trip, step by step
Suggested itinerary
Many patients plan one to two days, depending on the procedure and package. Your patient advisor confirms the exact plan before you travel.
- 1Arrival
Day 0, or the morning of your procedure
You arrive in San Diego or Tijuana, whichever your package uses, and our team confirms your airport pickup. Have your ID and travel documents ready so the crossing and check-in stay quick and stress-free.
- 2In the clinic
Procedure day
You meet your physician, confirm the plan and graft count agreed at your evaluation, and the procedure begins. Most sessions run about 6 to 10 hours under local anesthesia, so you stay awake and comfortable throughout.
- 3First night
Overnight recovery (when included)
When your package includes it, you rest under clinical supervision for the first night, the window when the new grafts are most fragile. The team watches over you, manages any swelling and keeps the area protected while you sleep.
- 4Before you fly home
Next day
The team checks the transplanted and donor areas, walks you through your aftercare step by step and hands over your medications. Your return transport is coordinated for you, so you leave knowing exactly what to do at home.
- 5From home
Follow-up
Recovery is measured in months, not days, so we stay in touch remotely at the key milestones, through shedding, early regrowth and final maturation. You send progress photos and get guidance whenever a stage looks or feels different than you expected.
