Questions patients actually ask
How do I check a hair restoration in Mérida is certified?
Hair restoration is performed by dermatologists and by plastic surgeons. Ask which board certified the person doing your procedure, because the two are different certificates. Certification runs five years and then must be renewed, so ask for the certificate number and the expiry date, then look both up in the CONACEM public directory.
Is "certified" on a clinic website enough?
No. Clinics and medical plazas across Mexico advertise "certified specialists" without naming a board, a number or a date. Certification is a public record with an expiry, so the word alone is an adjective rather than something you can act on.
Is it safe to see a hair restoration specialist in Mérida?
That comes down to the specialist. Mérida has board-certified specialists, and it also has clinics that call their doctors "certified" without naming a board, a number or a date. Check the certificate in the CONACEM registry, ask which hospital the procedure happens in, and ask who treats a complication once you're back home.
How long should I stay in Mérida?
Usually a single trip of a few days. The result takes months to show, so the follow-up is mostly photographs rather than visits. Mérida is reached by air, so plan the recovery stay before booking a return flight.
