Bosley-Creating The Donor Area-Seth’s Hair Restoration Procedure-Part 8

In part 8 of our series documenting Seth’s experience with Bosley permanent hair restoration, Dr. Winans is creating the donor area.

The donor area contains the follicular units that will be transplanted to the three regions of Seth’s thinning areas recently described by Dr. Winans as the front, top and back.  The donor area is on the sides and back of the head where the follicles are resistant to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone primarily responsible for male pattern hair loss.

After these DHT resistant follicular units are transplanted, they will continue to grow without the effects the DHT has had on Seth’s native hair.  However, Seth’s native hair that remains will still be susceptible to the effects of this hormone.

In the final segment of Seth’s initial consultation with Dr. Winans, Propecia is discussed.  Propecia is a prescription drug for men only that helps reduce the formation of DHT.  Propecia has been recommended by Dr. Winans for Seth as part of his treatment plan to help him keep his remaining native hair and therefore have greater fullness.

This complete series is available in our video section and includes segments from Seth’s initial consultation with the Bosley Senior Counselor, the procedure and Seth’s progress afterward.  The Bosley permanent hair restoration procedure is also described in detail with these 5 steps.
