What to expect on a medical travel trip to Cancún
A regenerative-medicine trip to Cancún, step by step: evaluation before you fly, the three-day stay, treatment day, and follow-up once you are home.
Before you travel
- Free evaluation. You share your history and goals — through the form, by WhatsApp, or on a call — and a bilingual coordinator replies within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday. We route your case to the partner physician best suited to it, who reviews it and explains what is realistic for your situation.
- Written, itemized quote. You see exactly what’s included and who you pay.
- Plan the trip. We coordinate flights guidance, lodging and appointment dates.
For the full step-by-step breakdown, see our International Patients page.
In Cancún
- Arrival & pickup. Transfers between the airport and your hotel are available as an add-on at their own cost, with our own drivers — both hold federal passenger-transport licences, and you can see them by name on Logistics & Transportation. Arranged in advance, it means someone is waiting for you rather than you sorting out transport after a long flight.
- Your medical evaluation has already happened — a video consultation with the treating physician, before this trip, so nobody flies to Cancún to be told they are not a candidate. Treatment itself is at a government-licensed (COFEPRIS) clinic.
- Treatment day. The application itself runs from about 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on what is being treated. Eat something light beforehand. Most patients head back to the hotel straight afterwards and keep the rest of the day clear — the clinic normally asks you to rest, skip physical activity, and leave alcohol and cigarettes alone that day. Your own aftercare instructions come from the treating physician before you leave.
- A bilingual coordinator stays reachable throughout your stay.

After you return home
We help you with discharge instructions and stay in touch for follow-up. Remember that results vary from person to person and no outcome is guaranteed.
What to bring
- A valid passport and travel documents
- Any recent medical records or imaging
- Comfortable clothing that gives the physician easy access to the area being treated — shorts if it is your knees
- A free afternoon and evening, since you will be resting after the application
Common questions
How long is a typical trip?
Most patients plan for three days: you arrive and settle in on day one, treatment is day two, and you fly home on day three. If your medical plan calls for something different, you will know before you book your flights.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No — a bilingual coordinator is with you from your first call through follow-up, including at appointments.
Can someone travel with me?
Yes — you can bring a companion with you on treatment day. Most patients do, and it tends to help: you will be resting for the rest of the day afterwards, and having someone with you for the trip back to the hotel makes the whole thing easier.
Is Cancún safe for medical travel?
Cancún is Mexico’s leading international tourist destination, with direct flights of two to four hours from most major U.S. and Canadian cities — a city built around international visitors, with the infrastructure that comes with that. Your coordinator arranges lodging near the clinic and stays reachable throughout your stay, so you are not navigating an unfamiliar city on your own.
