Why treat this locally

The follow-up is the point.

The reason that matters more than the distance: hair restoration is not a single appointment. Grafts shed at two to four weeks, regrowth starts somewhere around months three to six, and the real result lands at twelve to eighteen months. Being 12 miles away means the person who planned your hairline is the person looking at it in month eight, not a clinic in another time zone answering by email.

Istanbul and Mexico City both have genuinely excellent hair surgeons, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. But the variable that predicts your result is not the country on the address — it is whether your care is directed by a licensed physician you can reach afterwards, and whether you can reach that physician afterwards.

Your donor area is finite.

Every plan we make starts at the back of your head rather than the front. The donor zone is the only hair that resists DHT, and published guidance in the ISHRS Hair Transplant Forum International puts a typical safe lifetime supply somewhere between four and eight thousand follicular units. It does not refill. Taking more than twenty to thirty percent from one zone in a single session risks permanent, visible thinning.

Sometimes the right answer is to wait, or to stabilise medically first. If your loss is still moving quickly, operating into it is how people end up with an island of transplanted hair and a gap opening behind it. That is a real outcome of a consultation here, and it is not a lost sale.

You should want to. Hair restoration is assessed over twelve to eighteen months, so follow-up is where problems get caught early. From Franklin Park that is a short drive rather than a flight, which is the main practical argument for treating this locally.
Yes. We perform follicular unit extraction, and PRP therapy to support the hair you still have. We do not perform strip harvesting, and we are not a menu of competing techniques.
Photographs of your hairline from five and ten years ago, a list of any medication you take, and any quote you have been given elsewhere — particularly an overseas one. We will tell you honestly what we make of the plan.

Book an examination, not a quote.

Coming from Franklin Park, book the examination before you commit to anything — including to us. Ask which physician directs your care, ask what happens if growth disappoints at month eight, and ask how much donor supply is being held back for later.
