Lima's medical specialists charge a fraction of US prices — with strong credentials and English-speaking doctors. I visited clinics in person, did the research, and built a service to help Americans navigate the process confidently. I don't endorse doctors — I share what I found and connect you with the people I met.
Why Peru
Lima has a growing number of medical specialists with strong international credentials and significantly lower prices than the US. I visited clinics in person and share what I observed — you make your own informed decision about which specialist to consult.
ISO-Certified Facilities
Some Lima clinics hold ISO 9001 certification — an international quality standard. I observed modern facilities during my visits. I encourage you to verify certifications and facility standards directly with any clinic you consider.
US & European Trained Surgeons
The doctors I visited in Lima described training at institutions in the US and Europe and hold various international credentials. I encourage you to verify all credentials directly with any doctor you consult.
No Language Barrier
The doctors I met during my visits communicated in English. Language capability varies by individual — I encourage you to confirm directly with any clinic before booking. Having a contact who has already met these doctors in person helps set expectations.
New International Airport
Lima's new Jorge Chávez International Terminal opened in 2025, with expanded direct routes from Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, New York, and other major US cities.
Hair transplants from $2,900. Plastic surgery typically 70%+ less than US prices. Based on prices I observed during my Lima clinic visits.

I share general information from my personal visits to Lima clinics to help you understand your options. I make introductions to clinic contacts I met. You independently evaluate, select, and contract directly with any provider.
FUE Sapphire
Follicular Unit Extraction · Sapphire Blade
The most widely used advanced technique. A sapphire-tipped micro-blade creates smaller, cleaner channels than traditional steel, resulting in less trauma, faster healing, and denser follicle placement. The gold standard for most hair loss patterns.
Best for: Most men · Hairline · Crown · Temples
DHI
Direct Hair Implantation · Choi Pen
Follicles are extracted and implanted simultaneously using a specialized Choi pen — no pre-made channels. Achieves the highest density and most natural direction control. Preferred for hairline work where precision is paramount.
Best for: Hairline density · Existing hair areas · Beards
PRP Add-On
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Applied during or after the transplant, PRP uses your own blood's growth factors to accelerate follicle survival and speed initial growth. Evidence supports faster shedding recovery and improved density. Available as an add-on at all partner clinics.
Best for: Maximizing graft survival · Thinning areas
The Number That Changes Everything
$15,000–$25,000+
Typical US FUE — More in LA, NYC, Miami
$2,500–$5,000
Same Quality in Lima — Same-Day Procedure
70%+ Less
For Comparable US Procedures — Often Much More
Even after flights, hotel, and my concierge fee — most clients walk away saving more than the cost of a new car.

Your Guide
Steven R. Riggs
Founder · Lima Renew
I've made multiple trips to Lima and most recently spent several weeks visiting clinics, meeting doctors, and experiencing the city firsthand — including consulting about aesthetic services myself. I share what I observed and learned so you can make a more informed decision. I am not a medical professional and I don't endorse or recommend any specific doctor or procedure.
I'm not a doctor or a travel agent. I'm an American businessman — Harvard AMP graduate, 30-year global executive — who found Lima's medical market interesting and built a service to help other Americans access the information I gathered through personal visits.
I visited clinic offices in person, met with doctors, and observed their facilities. I share that firsthand information with you. All medical decisions, clinical evaluations, and procedure choices are entirely your own responsibility made in consultation with licensed medical professionals.

World-Class Cuisine
Lima consistently ranks among the world's top food cities. Central, Maido, and Astrid y Gastón are three of Latin America's best restaurants — all within minutes of your clinic.
Coastal Beauty
Miraflores sits on dramatic Pacific cliffs. The Malecón boardwalk, ocean views, and relaxed café culture make recovery feel like a vacation, not a medical trip.
Rich Culture & History
Machu Picchu is four hours by flight. Lima's Larco Museum houses 45,000 years of pre-Columbian history. Culture runs deep in every neighborhood.
Comfortable Recovery
Miraflores and San Isidro offer excellent hotels at a fraction of US prices. I recommend recovery-friendly properties within walking distance of the clinics I work with.
