When it comes to hair restoration, there isn’t just one treatment that’s best for all heads. Different procedures address different problems. This is why it’s extremely important to visit an experienced physician before you choose a hair treatment that’s best for you.
Dr. Krejci, Limmer Hair Transplant Center’s medical director and physician, was recently featured in Cosmetic Town Journal for her expertise in hair transplantation. In the article, she discusses eyebrow and facial hair transplants. These procedures are very similar to standard hair transplant methods. Hair is harvested from the donor area on the back of your scalp and transferred to areas that are experiencing hair loss.
Hairstyles go beyond appearance. Not only do they say something about your personality and taste, but hairstyle trends also act as a reflection of a generation. Trends can give you a good look into what people from a certain time valued as a whole. This is one of the reasons we love hair so much at The Limmer Hair Transplant Center! Let’s take a look at some of the most prevalent trends over the past eight decades.
Most patients don’t elect to have a hair transplant with the idea that they’re going to shave their head soon afterwards. However, sometimes people want or need to wear their hair short after a transplant for one reason or another. Unfortunately, all current hair transplant procedures leave scars, though some are a lot less noticeable than others. Let’s take a look at the two primary transplant procedures so that you know what your scar might look like if you decide to shave your head.
Minoxidil has been a game changer in the realm of hair restoration. In fact, it was the first FDA-approved topical medication for hair growth. Though minoxidil might not sound familiar to you, you’ve probably heard of Rogaine. Minoxidil and Rogaine are actually the same thing, as Rogaine is the brand name for minoxidil. Although Rogaine has been found to effectively treat hair loss, many people have worryingly told us that they see more hair falling out when they start using it. Can Rogaine actually make hair loss worse for some people? Let’s take a look.
Many people get confused between hair plugs and hair transplants, when in fact, hair plugs are a type of hair transplant. Don’t worry if you didn’t know that before. Medical terminology can be somewhat confusing.
Today, hair plugs are considered a seriously outdated type of hair transplant. Even so, for several decades they were the gold standard of hair transplantation. Let’s take a look at the difference between hair plugs and hair transplants now so that you get a better understanding of why modern hair transplants are better.
It’s understandable to want to rush into the operating room the second you find chunks of hair in your brush. Many men begin losing their hair in their early 20s.

We even offer advice on the most effective supplement solutions at the Limmer Hair Transplant Center.
By now, you’d have to be living under a rock not to know the dangers of smoking cigarettes. But what about e-cigarettes? Though they are commonly said to be safer than cigarettes, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found nicotine and cancer-causing substances (carcinogens) in two popular brands of electronic cigarettes. Even more interesting and less talked about, the common chemicals found in both cigarettes and e-cigarettes could be linked to hair loss and balding.
