Dr. Jorge Cortez

Surgeon and HMR Founder·Hair Medical Restoration (HMR)

Mexico

Background

Jorge Keity Cortez Barrón is the founder of Hair Medical Restoration (HMR), with locations in Tijuana, Hermosillo and Monterrey in Mexico plus Scottsdale in the United States 1. The clinic states he has more than 15 years of experience as a hair restoration specialist and describes him as a board certified hair transplant surgeon in Tijuana, without naming the certifying board 1. He works alongside a team of other surgeons at HMR 1.

Procedures and techniques

HMR offers FUE hair transplants, Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), beard transplants and eyebrow transplants 1. Per its FAQ, FUE and DHI are treated as one process: FUE extracts grafts one by one from the donor area, and DHI implants them with a tool for precise placement 2. Its pricing page describes FUE extraction as done with a micro punch, calling it the "preferred and safest method" 3. The FAQ attributes extraction, graft refinement under a microscope and implantation to "our specialists" rather than Cortez personally, with local anesthesia and a procedure lasting 6-8 hours 2. Candidate evaluation is a personalized consultation on scalp health, donor area and expectations; the clinic recommends patients be in their late 20s or older once hair loss has stabilized 2.

Pricing

For its Mexico locations, HMR quotes an average FUE transplant cost around $2,990, roughly $2.3 to $3 per graft, with $3,240 cited as the total for 1,000 grafts 3. The clinic describes the quote as a comprehensive, no-hidden-costs package covering pre-op evaluation, surgery, a post-operative kit, follow-up care and a patient concierge service, with financing available through a third-party provider 3. The clinic states final pricing depends on graft count, distribution, sessions, hair density and design 3.

Booking and aftercare

The first step is an online consultation form, which HMR's medical team reviews to judge candidacy before issuing a personalized quote 3. The clinic provides door-to-door private transportation, meeting patients at the border, airport or hotel and returning them after surgery, since anesthesia can leave patients too drowsy to drive 2. It recommends 3 to 5 days off work afterward 2. It advertises free lifetime follow-up as part of the package 3.

Credentials and memberships

Cortez's published credentials include a professional license, a master's degree in aesthetic surgery and a specialist certification in aesthetic and longevity medicine, each with a registration number, plus stated membership in the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Trichoscopy Society 1.
