A Shared Commitment to Patient Education
SpexHair was created to help people experiencing hair loss make safer and better-informed decisions about treatment. Its founder, Spencer Stevenson, has spent more than 20 years supporting patients and campaigning for greater transparency across the hair restoration industry. Having undergone 13 hair transplant procedures himself, Spencer brings a rare level of personal experience to his work. His central message is that education must come first, and hair transplant surgery should only be considered after the patient has received an accurate diagnosis and explored appropriate non-surgical options.
Dr. Linkov shares this long-term, patient-first philosophy. Every potential hair transplant patient must be assessed individually, with careful consideration given to the cause and progression of their hair loss, donor supply, facial proportions, and realistic treatment goals.
