Dr. Espinosa Custodio

Medical Director·Instituto Médico del Prado (Dr. Espinosa Custodio clinic)

Spain

Background

Hiram Abif Espinosa Custodio is Medical Director of Instituto Médico del Prado, with clinics near the Prado Museum in Madrid and in Mexico City's Colonia Anzures 1. The clinic says it was founded to provide "a global, high-quality response" to patients' needs, and surgery takes place in its own operating room 1. Its team page also lists three other doctors 1. In Madrid, Dr. Gallardo Madrid handles in-person clinical assessments and follow-up under what the clinic calls Dr. Espinosa Custodio's own methodology 2.

Procedures and techniques

The clinic states Dr. Espinosa Custodio personally leads each transplant, applying FUE and DHI techniques 2. It states that both extraction and implantation are performed by him, and that he typically treats two transplant patients a week 3. Diagnosis uses digital dermoscopy (HairMetrix by Canfield) in person; online consultations instead rely on photographs and a video call, with the scan deferred to a later visit 3. The clinic frames surgery as a last resort, saying it will not recommend a transplant if hair loss can be stabilised medically 2. It also lists non-shaving (UFUE), beard and eyebrow transplants, surgical repair, and non-surgical options such as PRP, mesotherapy and hair exosomes 3.

Pricing

Madrid pricing runs per follicular unit: €3 shaved, €3.50 semi-shaved or a repeat transplant, and €5 for UFUE work (long hair, scars, eyebrows or beard), with a €4,000 minimum (€5,000 if repeat), VAT included 3. The clinic says this price is all-inclusive, covering pre- and post-op needs and follow-up treatment 1. A diagnostic consultation costs €100 (free if submitted as an online form), and is non-refundable once booked 3. Mexico City prices separately in pesos, from 65 MXN per follicular unit, 85,000 MXN minimum 4. Interest-free financing via ABANCA is available in Spain 1.

Booking and aftercare

Consultations are offered in person or online 3. The clinic states that after the consultation, a written medical report with the diagnosis and recommended plan is provided 3. After surgery, the clinic states it runs regular check-ups for 12 months to monitor hair growth 2.

Credentials and memberships

The clinic states Dr. Espinosa Custodio holds a degree in Medicine and Surgery from the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, Mexico, validated in Spain, and is registered as a Specialist in Family and Community Medicine through the Ministry of Health of the Principality of Asturias 1. It also states he is a member of the Medical College of Madrid, the ISHRS, and the Spanish societies SEME, SEMFYC, FUE-Europe, SERECAP and SEMERETEC 1.
