Background of Bosley Medical

Founded by L. Lee Bosley, M.D. in 1974, Bosley Medical Institute performs hair loss treatments and hair restoration techniques. Bosley assures that its doctors are Board-certified or have equivalent credentials in one or more surgical or dermatological areas of specialization.

Bosley's Hair Restoration Process

The procedure involves taking excess hair including follicles from the plentiful area of the patient's head (called the donor area) and redistributing the hair one at a time to thinning or balding areas. Local anesthetics are administered to relieve the pain and discomfort. The transplanted hair supposedly lasts a lifetime and that infections or complications are rare.

You can look up information about Bosley using "bosley com", and book an appointment through their website or by phone. During your consultation visit, a Bosley doctor evaluates your condition and determines the extent of the procedure you will need, and their Senior Counselors will provide you with cost estimates. If you agree to have the procedure done, you will schedule it and pay the Room Reservation Fee in advance.

Hair transplant does not come cheap. If you're an average patient, you will most likely need at least two procedures, and spend as much as tens of thousands of dollars. Bosley Medical provides financing through their Cosmetic Fee Plan. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, it may not be covered by your own individual or group health insurance.

Practical Tips for Hair Losers

Losing your hair can be physically and emotionally devastating. However, you do have other less expensive options besides hair transplants.

You can shave your head to eliminate those bald spots. You can use wigs or hairpieces, although these could just make you look tacky. You can also try hair loss products, in tablet or topical forms, which could have varying degrees of success depending on your case. You can also take vitamins and massage your scalp to stimulate hair growth, but this may take a long time to happen. Avoid tight hairstyles like ponytails and harsh perm chemicals that can further contribute to hair loss.

And perhaps the most economical option is acceptance.
