I highly recommend Dr. Linkov! I was looking for a doctor to try PRP treatments to stimulate hair growth. It was important for me to be treated by a true hair specialist and discuss realistic results. He was very personable and honest, with great bedside manner.

11 months post 1600 FUE hair transplant to the hairline. Note how naturally the transplanted hairs appear to blend with his preexisiting hairs, due to proper direction, angle, and irregularity. Keep in mind that in order to address the hairline in this way it is highly recommened that patients are on maximal medical therapy to avoid further hair loss, as this patient is.
1920 FUE grafts were transplanted to the frontal and mid-scalp for this kind man. He had a pre-exisitng SMP tattoo which had to be carefully incorporated into the decision making when planning the hairline design.
550 grafts using an FUT strip technique were used to augment the eyebrows for this beautiful patient. She had tried microblading in the past and did not enjoy the results. Here you can see her 7 month postop results. She loves her new brows! She now likes to say “I went from no brows to wow brows!”
1800 FUE grafts were transplanted to the frontal and mid-scalp. PRP was performed during the transplant to improve hair re-growth and to prevent shock loss. The markings shown indicate the region targeted for the transplant.

1 year post 1800 FUE hair transplant to lower the hairline. She has always had a high hairline which she had to cover up with bangs. She desired a hairline lowering. We discussed surgical hairline advancement versus a hair transplant and she opted for the hair transplant, particularly because she also had temporal recession that she wanted addressed. She loves her results. We did discuss a potential fill-procedure to increase density in the treated zone.

The medical therapies and LLLT, PRP, SMP, and microneedling are temporary solutions, some lasting longer than others, but all requiring continued use/application for sustained gain. The only permanent solutions are SHA and hair transplant, but even then additional procedures may be required over a person’s lifetime.
Insurance rarely covers hair restoration expenses, as it is often considered cosmetic in nature. In some instances, such as with an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata, insurance companies may cover certain hair treatments. In the case of burn injury or trauma, there may be reconstructive hair procedures that do get covered by insurance.
In most instances, this cosmetic procedure is worth it to restore confidence and a more youthful and healthy appearance. Men and women seek hair restoration options to cover areas of the exposed scalp that others may stare at and be judgemental of. As there are numerous hair recovery options available today, a custom strategy can be created to meet the needs of every hair loss patient.

Dr. Linkov is a great guy and is very knowledgeable. When it comes to FUE (including body hair transplant), it’s all about the experience of the doctor and technicians.

I had a procedure done on a Sunday, and was out and about on a Friday night, with nobody noticing that anything had been done. Definitely recommend.
