Limmer Hair Transplant Center is a San Antonio practice led by board-certified dermatologists who focus on hair restoration. El Paso patients start from home with a virtual consult and a video consult, then take a short nonstop flight to San Antonio for FUT, FUE, or scalp micropigmentation with Dr. Jennifer Krejci and Dr. Allison Limmer Sherwood.
Yes. Limmer Hair Transplant Center does not have an El Paso office, so patients from El Paso and southern New Mexico travel to the clinic in San Antonio, less than 10 minutes from San Antonio International Airport. You start with a virtual consult (photos) and a video consult, and pre-op labs can be drawn close to home, so most of the planning happens before you board a plane.
Every surgery is performed by a board-certified dermatologist, and pricing is published openly: FUT (strip) procedures run $6,000 to $9,900 and FUE runs $7,500 to $12,600, depending on graft count.
Flying 500 miles for a procedure is a real decision. These are the facts that patients from the Borderland weigh most.
Dr. Krejci and Dr. Limmer meet with every patient and evaluate the hair loss before recommending anything. As board-certified dermatologists, they can diagnose conditions that mimic pattern baldness, so surgery is suggested only when it is the right answer.
Limmer Hair Transplant Center publishes its flat-rate and per-graft pricing online. Nearly all patients arrive through referrals rather than advertising, and the practice keeps fees lower as a result. Your final cost is set on surgery day by the number of grafts placed.
Out-of-town patients start with a virtual consult by photos and a video consult with the physician, and complete lab work near home. That keeps your time in San Antonio focused on surgery and recovery instead of extra appointments.
Here is how a typical out-of-town case comes together, from the first photos you send to the flight home.
Send photos of the front, top, both sides, and back of your head so your case can be reviewed and scheduled correctly. Then meet Dr. Krejci by video. Consults are $200 to $350, applied toward your hair transplant if you are a candidate and book within a week.
Pre-op labs are required no later than three weeks before surgery through Clinical Pathology Laboratories (CPL), which has locations in the El Paso area. The lab fee is $150, and a 10% deposit holds your date. Planning FUT? Grow your hair to at least 1/2 to 1 inch so it covers the stitches.
Southwest flies nonstop from El Paso to San Antonio in about an hour and a half. The clinic is less than 10 minutes from San Antonio International Airport, and it has arranged rates at three hotels on Loop 410 nearby; the Residence Inn includes shuttle service. Set reminders in Central Time, one hour ahead of El Paso.
Your physician finalizes the plan, then performs your FUT or FUE procedure at the San Antonio clinic. Pain medication for recovery is provided.
Spend the night near the airport. The clinic recommends relaxing for 3 days after surgery. Staying very active in the first 36 hours makes forehead and facial swelling more likely. No hair washing for the first 3 days.
Most El Paso patients fly home the day after surgery, with a loose hat over the treated area. Finish your rest days at home. Gentle showering of the scalp resumes on day 7, while swimming and all sports wait 10 to 14 days. Redness can last up to 2 weeks, and 18 months of post-op care is included.
El Paso sits at roughly 3,700 to 3,900 feet and averages around 300 days of sunshine a year. The World Health Organization notes that UV intensity rises by about 10% for every 1,000 meters of elevation, so a healing scalp in El Paso sees stronger UV than it would at sea level.
A hat covers the treated area for FUT cases and everything except the lower shaved donor area for FUE. Choose a clean, loose cap that does not press on the grafts.
Check with your physician before applying sunscreen or any product to the grafted area, and keep it covered outdoors until you are cleared.
Swimming and all sports wait 10 to 14 days. Walking and light activity can resume within a day if comfortable. Save the Franklin Mountains trails for later.
Thinning hair leaves more scalp exposed. Hats and shade stay worthwhile in El Paso long after your grafts have healed.
Every option below is performed at the San Antonio clinic. Prices come from Limmer Hair Transplant Center's published price list, and the final cost is set on surgery day by the number of grafts placed.
| Option | How it works | Often chosen when | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUT (strip) | A thin strip of donor scalp is removed and microscopically dissected into follicular units. | You want the most grafts in one session or prefer to keep longer hair. | $6,000 to $9,900 |
| FUE | Follicular units are extracted one at a time, leaving tiny dot-shaped scars. | You wear your hair short. The donor area is shaved. | $7,500 to $12,600 |
| Beard and mustache | Grafts restore fullness to one, two, or three facial areas. | Facial hair is patchy, thin, or interrupted by scars. | $6,000 to $10,500 |
| Eyebrows | Grafts rebuild brow shape and density. | Brows are overplucked, thinning, or scarred. | $5,000 to $7,000 |
| Scalp micropigmentation | Medical pigment replicates the look of hair follicles. | You want a non-surgical option or extra visual density. | Quoted at consult |
Also treated: hair loss in women, scar repair, and non-surgical hair growth treatments. A $150 pre-op lab fee applies to surgery. CareCredit financing is available. See the full hair transplant price list.
Both physicians are board-certified dermatologists, so your care starts with a medical diagnosis of why your hair is thinning.
Patients come to Limmer Hair Transplant Center from across far West Texas and southern New Mexico. Most fly out of El Paso International Airport, the closest major airport for the region, and land less than 10 minutes from the clinic.

Answers to what El Paso and Las Cruces patients ask most before planning a trip. For general questions, see the full hair transplant FAQ and recovery guide.
No. All procedures are performed at the clinic at 6810 West Ave, Suite A, San Antonio, TX 78213. El Paso patients start with a virtual consult and a video consult from home, then travel to San Antonio for surgery.
Southwest Airlines flies nonstop from El Paso International (ELP) to San Antonio International (SAT) in about 1 hour 26 minutes on average. Driving is roughly 550 to 580 miles on I-10, or about 8 to 9 hours. The clinic is less than 10 minutes from San Antonio International Airport.
Usually two. Arrive the day before your procedure and fly home the day after surgery, then spend the recommended 3 days of rest at home. Sessions over 2,000 grafts are scheduled across two back-to-back days, which adds a night.
Not necessarily. Start with a virtual consult: send photos online so our team can review your case and schedule the right visit. Then meet Dr. Krejci by video, or in person if you prefer. Video and in-person consults are $200 to $350, depending on the visit, and the fee is applied toward your hair transplant if you are a candidate and book within a week.
Pre-op labs are run through Clinical Pathology Laboratories (CPL), the clinic's contracted lab, which has locations in the El Paso area. Labs must be completed no later than three weeks before surgery, and the lab fee is $150.
Most El Paso patients fly home the day after surgery. Patients may travel as soon as they feel ready, and a loose-fitting hat covers the treated area on the trip home. Plan to rest for 3 days once you are back to limit swelling.
El Paso patients pay the same published prices as local patients: FUT (strip) runs $6,000 to $9,900 and FUE runs $7,500 to $12,600, depending on graft count, plus a $150 pre-op lab fee. Prices include take-home medication, a wound care packet, and 18 months of post-op care. Travel and lodging are separate, and financing is available through CareCredit and PatientFi.
Keep the grafted area covered with a loose, clean hat outdoors, ask your physician before putting sunscreen on the grafts, and avoid swimming and sports for 10 to 14 days. El Paso's elevation means stronger UV than at sea level, so hats and shade are worth keeping as long-term habits.
Start with a virtual consult, then meet Dr. Krejci by video before you book a single flight.
