Hair Transplant in Cancun (FUT and FUE Techniques)

Regain Your Hair and Confidence

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure designed to treat hair loss and baldness. There are two main techniques for performing this procedure: the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique and the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. Both techniques aim to restore hair in a natural and permanent way.
