Considering A Budget Hair Transplant Procedure?

Posted on

We receive many requests from people like the gentleman below who want to know what we recommend for them. We tell them that they are a challenging case because of the amount of hair they have lost relative to what we can give them back in one procedure. We are honest and straight-forward, and we do not just tell people what they want to hear.   Considering A Budget Hair Transplant Procedure? Difficult Cases FUE Corrections Hair Transplant Industry Exposed   This gentleman was told he would get coverage from front to back with an FUE procedure. FUE is a disaster for a patient with this type of hair loss. FUE is low yield and causes severe damage to the donor area. He simply needs hair, and FUE does not produce much of that. Nobody moves more hair then Dr. Bolton. He regularly moves 10,000 – 15,000 hairs in less then 6 hours from start to finish. This gentleman got approximately 3,000 hairs and his donor is now severely compromised because it has 3,000 FUE scars, covering the entire donor area and beyond.   Unfortunately, most people have an expensive learning experience their first procedure. You can’t cover an entire area this large with FUE unless you spread it thin. It is also not a scar-less procedure. You can save money by traveling internationally, but does it look like it was worth it?   FUE is marketed very well by the companies that sell the machines, but their claims are completely bogus.

 

 

Researching Your Hair Transplant Options

Posted on

If you are considering having an FUE procedure, please continue to do more research. There a ton of different scare tactics and misrepresentations used to sell the FUE method, when it is far inferior to a correctly performed FUT procedure. We are now starting to see more FUE corrections than strip corrections, which Dr. Bolton predicted 4 years ago, when the machines were introduced into the market.

Hair restoration has offered lot of choices for people to make over the years. Unfortunately, most of these “miracles” are created with the patient’s best interest in mind. Every year the industry tends to embrace the latest claims that do not have scientific or proven backgrounds. Pills, potions, lights, PRP, FUE, scar-less, non-surgical, go back to work the next day, etc. These  have not held up and are completely unfounded. More emphasis should be placed on the results that are produced in one procedure. That should be the litmus test.

What can the doctor do to maximize your one procedure results? Ask the doctor about their most difficult cases and ask to see what the results were. This will allow you to identify a highly-skilled and accomplished doctor. The evidence is in the results, not the claims a doctor makes.

I always like to help people in their decision-making process whether they choose us or not. I want to see folks do well and get a desirable result. It always strikes me when people say they have done a lot of research. I can tell you that most people don’t do the right type of research, and that is understandable, as this is not like anything else you have researched previously.

Can you answer the following questions?

When considering FUE, do you know the limits of the procedure?

What are the limits of Epinephrine?

What is the effect of Epinephrine on graft survival?

What is the size of the punch used to extract the follicles?

Will hair be extracted outside of the safe zone?

Do you know the difference in the amount of tissue that surrounds the follicle in FUE vs. MaxHarvest™ and which is more beneficial?

Are you familiar with the possibility of over-harvesting the donor area?

Do you know who is actually extracting the donor area?

Is it a medically licensed physician?

 

Are you familiar with the term maximal hair survival by means of harvesting donor hair?

Do you know what small punctate scars are?

Are you familiar with the word “hyper-pigmentation”?

Are you aware that different types of scalps and hair may or may not be suitable for FUE?

Do you believe all patients can shave their head and there will be no scars visible with FUE?

Have you heard the term folliculitis from “buried grafts” in the donor region?

Did you ask how this may affect future surgeries and how fibrotic scar tissue from FUE will affect your future procedure options?

Have you discussed the viability of grafts that are waiting to be transplanted for 8-12 hours?

Have you thought about the method of harvesting when you can see what you are doing versus going in blind?

We want you to be educated in the decision that you are making and understand fully what your best option is. If you would like answers to any of these questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to speaking with you!

Budget Doctors Will Get You Budget Results

This was sent in by a prospective patient who wanted to get our advice on his procedure.   The procedure was done 5 months ago in Turkey, and I told him his growth is just beginning. However, the hairline appears to be far too straight, which will look unnatural when it grows in. The positioning of the grafts on the top of his head appear to be spread thin, with no artistic thought.   The donor area is severely damaged and far from scar-less, even though most FUE hair transplants are marketed to be.   Prospective patients are tempted to cut corners and save dollars by doing this procedure with the hope that they can get a quality procedure at a fraction of the cost. Unless a doctor can show many, many examples of patients with extensive hair loss, you are setting yourself up for failure. This patient shouldn’t even have been pitched FUE as an option. You cannot move an adequate amount of hair to make an impact on a patient with this much loss.

Are FUE Hair Transplants Really Scar-less?

Posted on

Hair plugs were one of the first hair transplant methods available, and are notorious today, due to the damage they caused and the unnaturalness of the results that they produced. Today, FUE hair transplants are all of the buzz, when it is basically a redesigned version of the same old hair plug method. The only difference is that the punch that extracts the hair is smaller. While this might leave smaller scars, it leaves a lot more of them.

As someone who has been on the front line and seen every case imaginable over the last 15 years, the perception of a plug hair transplant is virtually identical to an FUE hair transplant. It causes a lot of irreversible damage to the donor area and a low quality result.

Most people are focused on the wrong aspect of these procedures. They are so worried about the scars, and forget that the reason that they are inquiring about hair transplants is to get results! When you attempt to harvest blindly, by punching out hairs, the transection rate skyrockets, destroying the hairs entirely. While they pitch the smaller punch as a benefit, it’s actually more damaging than a larger punch, in terms of transections.

 

Dr. Bolton’s method is far superior, because there is less scarring and damage to the donor area and hairs are not harvested outside of the safe zone. FUE commonly goes outside of this safe zone in an attempt to harvest as many hairs as possible in the targeted area.

We will put our results up against any doctor in the world. There is simply no way, with an FUE hair transplant, to get a result even close to what we yield consistently with our MaxHarvest™ hair transplant.
