Hair Restoration Technology > Hair Transplantation Gets Smaller

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery hair transplantation is currently one of the leading cosmetic surgical procedures for men.

The popularity of hair restoration has grown significantly with many celebrities opting for the procedure as the grafts became smaller, resulting in a perfectly natural look.

Decades ago a new concept was being used called “donor dominance”.  This was when the industry was in its infancy.  In the beginning there was the primitive skin grafts, which is the moving of scalp tissue.  This process transplanted large areas of scalp.  The process was efficient but derogatory labels were given to the results e.g. doll’s hair, hair tufts or corn row hair.

Bosley Hair Restoration

The 1980’s and 90’s brought significant improvements, which led to today’s modern hair transplantation. Considered the gold standard,  follicular unit hair transplantation creates a look that is more natural with hairlines that are virtually undetectable.

Bosley permanent hair restoration involves taking hair from where you have more than you need (the sides and back of the head) and moving it to areas that are thinning or bald.

In men, the hair on the sides and back of the head is resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is the primary cause of male-pattern hair loss.  The hair and follicles on the sides and back of the head are resistant to this hormone ergo their use in follicular unit hair transplantation.  The transplanted hair and follicles retain this resistance when transplanted and will continue to grow where genetically sensitive hair could not.

Hair follicles naturally have 1-4 hairs each.  In follicular unit hair transplantation, the individual units are transplanted with thinner, smaller groupings toward the front and thicker, larger groupings toward the back. Special attention is given to the depth, angle and placement of grafts.  It is this skill and artistry used by Bosley physicians that creates a perfectly natural look and restored hairlines that are virtually undetectable.
