Visit to Dr Limmer in San Antonio, Texas
I had the honor to visit the world renowned Limmer clinic in San Antonio, Texas on Tuesday, March 20th of 2007. In many respects the Limmer clinic is the birth place of “follicular unit grafting” since it was Dr. Bobby Limmer and his staff who first began using microscopes to visualize and trim naturally occurring follicular units into follicular unit grafts.
Dr. Bobby Limmer’s significant contributions to the refinement and advancement of follicular unit hair transplantation are well documented, including in the “History of Hair Transplantation” section of the Coalition Hair Loss Learning Center.
Dr. Bobby Limmer shared his techniques and findings with his peers and was a persuasive advocate for the follicular unit procedure. For his part in pioneering this excellent surgical procedure Dr. Bobby Limmer was awarded the “Platinum Follicle Award” by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery in 1996.

Glen,
Dr. Bernstein does perform follicular unit grafting and is also highly esteemed. His procedure however, is a little bit different. Dr. Limmer uses the “Stick and Place” technique where an incision is made and then a follicular unit is immediately placed in the opening. Dr. Bernstein makes all the incisions first and his technicians place the grafts afterwards. If you are thinking about hair transplant surgery, he is definitely worth considering.
All the Best,

Is this hair transplant procedure the same as Dr. Robert M. Bernstein in New York City?
