Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 3 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in the US.
When not to travel

- A medical condition or medicine that affects bleeding or healing, unless the clinic’s doctor has reviewed it in advance.
- Anyone expecting a guaranteed result. Density depends on your donor hair.
