Quick answer

From Phoenix, you reach Longevity Clinic in Veracruz with one connection, through Mexico City or Houston. Arizona and Veracruz don't change clocks, so Veracruz is always one hour ahead of Phoenix. You send your records first, our physician designs your personalized protocol for free, and you travel only for a session of about 45 minutes.

Phoenix patients live with intense sun most of the year, one reason skin quality is a frequent concern. Arizona's dry heat is also hard on active joints during outdoor sports.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference with Phoenix?

Neither Arizona nor Mexico changes clocks, so Veracruz is one hour ahead of Phoenix all year.

Is the strong sun in Arizona relevant for skin treatment?

Yes. UV exposure is the main cause of visible skin aging. Daily sun protection is part of any skin protocol; without it, results fade sooner.
