Bosley Medical, Bosley and my friend’s new permanent hair restoration.
A couple of years ago I ran into a friend of mine at Victoria Gardens. He was losing his hair and stressed out to say the least. While we were at a restaurant/bar a Bosley Medical commercial came on. He joked about the need for a Bosley hair transplant. I didn’t take him seriously but I should have. About a year later I saw him again, at the same restaurant, but now with a full head of hair. I really didn’t know much about the procedure only that the ones I’ve seen in the past didn’t look very natural, but his looked incredible. I couldn’t tell that he had transplants at all. Needless to say, he’s a happy and much more confident guy after his Bosley procedure.
I don’t really need a procedure. My hair seems pretty normal for being 38 but I was intrigued by what he had done so I did a bit of research. This is the perk you get for being a full-time web researcher. What I found was pretty cool. I had no idea what was available for hair loss today, particularly from Bosley. They have their new Bosley laser comb as well as some new genetic test that will tell you if you’re going to be bald later in life. I think the purpose of the test is so you can better manage your hair loss before it happens, a preemptive strike if you will. It seems like a good idea to me.
So based on the research I’ve done, Bosley seems to be the top company in this industry with experience dating back to the ’70’s. Experience is good, you don’t need someone practicing on you!
The best information I found was the following, which also contains a unique Bosley video. The video shows one man’s experience with Bosley Medical from beginning to end. Yes, this includes footage of the actual Bosley procedure being done.
What is a hair transplant?
This is a procedure where we take hair from where you have more than you need and artistically place it where you need more. This procedure takes donor dominant (DHT resistant) hair follicles and transplants them into thinning or balding areas.
Some of the hair transplants I’ve seen don’t look natural. Why is this?
If you see a recently completed hair restoration that does not look natural it’s likely because it’s a bad hair transplant.
Bosley hair transplants are virtually undetectable because they are so natural-looking. We’ve discussed in our multi-part series that follicular units grow in groupings of 1-4 hairs typically. These groupings of hairs are randomly placed in hand-done recipient sites. The emphasis at Bosley is to try to duplicate nature. The microtechnologies used have been refined to a point where often even other medical doctors are unable to differentiate between natural hairs that are original and those that have been transplanted.
Do you do hair transplants on women?
Current estimates at Bosley are that 20 million American women are experiencing some level of female pattern hair loss.
Dr. Bosley says ”The great majority of women with typical female pattern hair loss can be helped significantly,”. Women can lose their hair in a pattern different from men but the treatment for both is similar.
As in men, the doctor locates a donor area with sufficient healthy hair. Dr. Bosley states ”Women usually have a similar donor area to men. This means they have enough supply to fulfill the demand, so the results are usually very good.”
