Quick answer
You don't need several trips to start. You send your records by WhatsApp or email, the doctor reviews them and designs your personalized regenerative protocol for free, and an advisor helps you book a hotel and offers transfer options. You travel only to receive your therapy, which takes about 45 minutes, and follow-up is remote. United flies nonstop from Houston to Veracruz in about 2 hours 15 minutes.
Longevity Clinic is in Costa de Oro, Boca del Río, Veracruz, a quiet seaside area on the Gulf of Mexico. The process is designed so that you travel once, already knowing your plan.
Step 1: Before you travel, the doctor reviews your case
Send by WhatsApp or email your recent records: lab work, imaging (MRI, X-rays), photos for skin or hair, your medications and a short history. Dr. Joan Chávez reviews them and designs your personalized regenerative protocol, free of charge.
If information is missing, we tell you which tests to do near home. If a regenerative therapy is not right for you, we tell you before you spend on travel.
Step 2: Your advisor handles the logistics
Your advisor, who speaks English, helps you book a hotel near the clinic and offers transfer options from Veracruz airport (VER). You choose your appointment time around your flight.
Step 3: The day of your appointment, about 45 minutes
Address: Calz. Juan Pablo II 390, Costa de Oro, 94299 Boca del Río, Veracruz, Mexico. The doctor confirms your health before applying your therapy. The application takes about 45 minutes.
Step 4: Back home, remote follow-up
Your physician follows up by WhatsApp or video call, reviews photos or tests when needed and adjusts your aftercare. If your protocol includes more than one session, each trip is scheduled in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa or passport?
U.S. citizens need a valid passport to fly to Mexico. Check the current entry requirements with the U.S. State Department and Mexican authorities before you travel, especially if you hold another nationality.
How long should I stay?
Many patients fly in the day before, have their session the next day and fly home one or two days later. If your protocol involves a joint, plan an easy day after the application.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Many patients travel with a partner or family member. Let your advisor know so the hotel booking fits both of you.
What if I have a problem after I return home?
You keep direct contact with the medical team by WhatsApp. If you have fever, intense pain, spreading redness or any symptom that worries you, seek care locally right away and tell us; your physician will share the details of what was applied.
