This presentation gives you some insights on What is Hair Transplantation and the different methods of Hair Transplantation. Also, how Bosley can help you regrow your hair.
2. • Hair transplantation is a procedure to transfer hair from
one site of the body to another (typically areas that need
more hair).
• It is the only proven permanent solution to male pattern
baldness. It can also treat female baldness, to replace
hair lost in trauma or burns, and to reshape eyebrows.
• The hair is taken from an area called the ‘donor site’, and
is planted in an area called the ‘recipient site’. Hair
transplant procedure utilizes one’s own natural hair.
What is Hair Transplantation?
6. • Strands of hair are transplanted from the back and sides of
the head, in groups of 1 to 4, since this is how hair naturally
grows
• Because it uses a person’s own natural hair, the transplanted
hair will grow like the rest of non-transplanted hair do. As
such, the procedure delivers results that are natural.
• Another advantage this extraction method has is it does not
involve any scalp incisions or strip removal. Thus, the recovery
time is shorter, with no scars.
8. • In the strip method of hair transplant, a fine strip of hair from the
donor region is taken.
• Sutures are used to close the donor area. There would be a thin but
minimal scarring, as a result, and which is easily concealed by the
remaining hair.
• The donor strip (removed earlier) is divided into its follicular
groupings, or units, each containing one, two, three or four hair
follicles. Local anesthesia is administered in the recipient area of
the scalp for the transplantation of each individual follicular unit.
• This procedure might be suitable for average to extreme balding
cases, since it allows a lot of grafts to be transplanted in a single
session, donor area supply permitting.
10. FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction
• No linear scar in donor area.
• Can shave or keep hair short in
future
• Can continue to harvest more
grafts for future FUE
procedures
• Shorter recovery time and
healing time in donor area
• Enable transplantation when
scalp is too tight for a strip
excision (FUT method)
FUT
Follicular Unit Transplant
• Leaves a fine, but minimal, scar in
back of head
• Limits graft harvesting due to
pulling of scalp in future
procedures
• Longer recovery time and healing
time in donor area.
• For proper donor area healing,
strenuous exercise following the
procedure is not recommended.
• More grafts can be extracted and
planted in FUT over FUE, thus
allowing for maximum results in
one procedure.
• Less damage to grafts during
harvesting than in in FUE, where
grafts tend to be more fragile.
12. • Bosley distinguishes itself with two key factors: Experience and Natural Results.
Bosley has been a full-time hair restoration practice since 1974. It is all we do.
• Bosley's follicular-unit techniques result in a hair restoration so natural, that it’s
hard to differentiate the transplanted hair from the non-transplanted hair.
• Bosley’s Medical physicians have more than 100 years of combined experience, in
the hair loss and hair restoration industry, performing more hair transplants than
any other medical group in the world.
• Every Bosley physician is required to be actively licensed in the state in which
he/she practices, and a member of one or more professional associations. Before
joining Bosley, all of Bosley's physicians have had years of training and experience
in their field.
13. • The profound knowledge and contributions of Bosley physicians in the
medical field has made them a prominent face in the industry.
• The countless number of professional affiliations, memberships, honors,
and titles, stand as a testament to this:
