Bosley Medical
New Techonologies to Combat Hair Loss 

Bosley Medical was founded in 1974 by Dr. L Lee Bosley, M.D.  Since that time Bosley Medical has pioneered nearly every major advancement in the field of hair restoration while also performing more hair transplant procedures than any other medical group in the world.

These advancements have led to the currently used micro-technologies and follicular unit hair transplantation, which results in perfectly natural results and restored hairlines that are virtually undetectable.

How it Works

Hair grows from a follicular unit.  Each unit can have a different number of follicles and resulting number of hairs. Follicular units typically have 1-4 hairs.

A virtually undetectable hairline requires the use of singular follicular units toward the front.  Moving back from the hairline, larger groupings of 2-4 hairs are used because density is most important in this area.

The typical Bosley hair restoration procedure can be explained in 5 general steps.  It is in the third step that follicular units are divided by the Bosley surgical staff.

In the fourth step of the procedure, the recipient sites are prepared.  This area is where the grafts (follicular units) will be placed.  The Bosley physician will prepare each graft site by making tiny incisions for graft placement.  These incisions are skillfully made by hand with specific angle, depth and location.  The result is a completely natural and random looking hairline.   

A Bosley hairline is designed to mimic that of nature with random, artful placement that is out of sequence.

Though hair restoration is the only permanent solution to hair loss, there is another new technology that works well for those in the earliest stages of hair loss.  This technology can also be used as part of a complete treatment plan for pre-operative and post-operative Bosley patients.

Bosley LaserComb

The Bosley LaserComb is the most recent addition to FDA approved or accepted treatments for hair loss.  The Bosley LaserComb is also the only medical device and drug-free option available.

This latest innovation uses 9 individual laser beams with just the right amount of energy to help promote hair growth and stimulate the follicles.  The device has been clinically proven to make hair appear fuller, thicker and healthier in men with male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia).  

The Bosley LaserComb is a hand-held device that is applied to thinning areas for 10-15 minutes, three times per week.  This device is not ideal for advanced hair loss treatment but is a convenient method to obtain the best results from permanent hair restoration surgery.

The Bosley LaserComb is available at the Bosley On-Line Store for $495.00.  For more information, call
