Hair Transplants & Restoration

What Is a Hair Transplant / Restoration?

Hair transplantation surgery is a technique that harvests carefully selected hair follicles from a donor section of the body (such as the back of the head) and surgically implants them into the balding site. The result of this minimally invasive procedure is an entirely natural look and feel. Unlike topical and oral medications for hair loss, the results are essentially permanent.

The Advantages of Our Hair Transplant Technique

Although hair transplants have been performed since the late 1800’s, the modern technique of using hair from the genetically stable scalp (the donor area), was developed in the late 1950’s by Dr. Norman Orentreich.

Over the past 30 years, Dr. B.L. Limmer and his research team developed and perfected a technique now referred to nation-wide as the “Gold Standard” of hair transplantation: Microscopically Magnified Follicular Unit Micrografting.

Using Microscopically Magnified Follicular Unit Transplantation, our Doctors produce minute grafts of one to three hair follicles (Follicular Unit) and transplant them into balding areas. When performed by highly skilled individuals such as our Doctors and our technicians, the results are indistinguishable from native hair growth.

Dr. Limmer’s ground-breaking technique is now employed by many of the world’s best hair transplant surgeons.

Hair Transplant Services Offered

At Limmer Hair Transplant Center in San Antonio, we offer a variety of surgical hair transplant solutions for our patients.

FUE Transplant Method (Robotically Assisted)

Our FUE transplant method is supported by our ARTAS Robotic System which is fully controlled by our doctor to provide a wonderful experience. Unlike older transplant methods, no stitches are required, rendering your procedure nearly undetectable. You can now expect natural-looking results without the side effects and recovery times resulting from older techniques.

FUT Transplant Method

For our FUT transplant method, a donor strip is surgically removed from the area in the back of the head using a single surgical blade, which minimizes the possibility of transection or damage to the donor hair. The grafts are then dissected meticulously under a powerful microscope into “follicular units” which naturally contain 1, 2, or 3 hairs each. These grafts are then placed strategically into the recipient area to create a natural look and feel.

Female Hair Restoration

By the age of 60, nearly 40% of women have experienced some sort of hair loss for differing reasons. If you are a woman that is experiencing hair loss, we are here to help. Schedule a consultation today and talk with our doctor about which solutions may be right for you. In addition to hair transplant surgery, we also offer a variety of non-surgical options that could help treat your hair loss.

African American Hair Transplants

Like skin color, ethnicity also affects your hair and hair follicles. Also like skin color, these differences can range from subtle to extreme, especially in African American or Black hair. The aesthetic difference of the hair growing out from the head may be obvious to the eye, but the structural and microscopic differences can significantly affect how hair restoration procedures are properly performed. We specialize in all different types of hair in our office.

Transgender Hair Transformation Surgery

Though there are similarities between hair transplants for transgender and cisgender patients, don’t be fooled into thinking they’re the same thing. Whether you’re seeking a male-to-female scalp hair transplant or a female-to-male facial hair transplant, creating a natural look takes nuance, experience and an understanding of the unique challenges for transgender patients.

Eyebrow & Facial Hair Transplants

Hair transplants aren’t just reserved for your head. At the Limmer Hair Transplant Center we also specialize in eyebrow and facial hair transplants. Using the same techniques that we’ve perfected over the years, we can enhance the hair on your face as well. So if you’re looking to fill out those eyebrows or make your beard less patchy, come in for a consultation!

Scar Repair

Scars from trauma, surgery, burns, chemicals, etc. that have left areas on the scalp or face can all be treated with hair transplantation. Scar tissue is not as vascular as regular skin, but surprisingly it can grow hair that is transplanted very well. If you have a scar that you’re looking to cover up, schedule a consultation today!
