• 1. Your Hair Transplant Procedure

  At Bosley, surgical hair transplantation is a simple, outpatient procedure. Here's a snapshot of a typical patient's day.

• 2. Anesthesia and donor hair removal

  Once your plan is confirmed, you will receive local anesthetic and your physician will remove the donor strip. The donor area is then sutured; this will usually leave a thin scar that is easily concealed by the remaining hair.

• 3. Separation of follicular units

  Our skilled surgical hair transplantation staff divides the donor strip into its follicular groupings, or units, each containing one, two, three or four hair follicles (a much more refined technique than plugs).

• 4. Preparing the recipient sites

  You’ll receive local anesthesia in the recipient area of your scalp and your Bosley physician makes a tiny incision for each individual follicular unit. The detailed attention to location, depth and angle ensures a completely natural-looking hairline and graft area.

  Perfectly Random
  Nature's hairlines are perfect because they are random. Hairs don't line up in a row like the bristles of a toothbrush — they randomly grow here and there, At Bosley, follicular units are artfully placed, out of sequence, so they mimic the randomness of nature.

• 5. Placement of grafts

  Under the direction of your Bosley physician, the surgical hair transplantation staff places the grafts into the donor sites. One- and two-hair follicular units are placed in front, while three- and four-hair follicular units are placed at the top and back for maximum coverage and density.
