The methodology behind Bosley hair transplants is actually quite simple on the surface, though it takes a great deal of surgical ability and artistic talent for a physician to achieve a natural look.
A one day procedure, undergoing a hair transplant only requires a local anesthesia and most patients experience very little discomfort. In fact, many patients take a nap or watch television as the hair transplant procedure takes place.
Prepping for Bosley Hair Transplant Surgery
The first step in the Bosley hair transplant procedure is to trim the hairs that will be removed and transplanted during the surgery. The remaining hair is gathered and secured out of the way. Next, a local anesthesia is applied to the area.
Gathering Donor Follicles
The next step in the hair transplant is to gather donor follicles from another area of the head. Generally, these follicles are found in the back of the head where the most genetically resistant follicles can be found. The patient’s hair is then combed back over the area where the donor follicles were removed. This hides the sutures, which are removed approximately ten days after the hair transplant surgery is complete.
Prepping the Donor Follicles and the Scalp
After the donor follicles are removed, the tissue is then placed under a microscope in order to be dissected and prepped. As the team of surgical technicians works at prepping the follicles, the physician applies a local anesthesia to the area where the hair is to be transplanted. This area does not need to be shaved beforehand.
Placing the Grafts On the Scalp
In order to place the donor skin grafts onto the scalp, the hair transplant physician must make small incisions in the area where the hair will be placed. These incisions are made in irregular patterns so they will look the same as naturally-occurring hair patterns. The grafts are then placed into these incisions. When complete, the patient will have received hundreds of new grafts that will continue to grow as they would have grown if they were left in their original location.
As long as the transplanted hair follicles continue to grow, the patient will experience hair growth in the area that was previously bald. Therefore, a Bosley hair transplant is usually a lifelong solution to hair loss.
