Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted February 1, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 Looks like a special on hair loss remedies, they are covering Propecia, and hair systems, not sure if HT was already covered, just turned it on.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I watched the first part of it. Two Bosley doctors were there talking about hair transplantation. They even had a patient come on who had 1900 grafts transplanted. The results looked natural but very thin as you could tell that 1900 grafts were distributed pretty much all over his head. He could use about 3-5000 more to get a "full" look. The Bosley physicians were very vague...was more infomercial like and really didn't hit the "reality" of hair transplantation and what kind of results can REALLY be expected. I wanted to jump all over those guys. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted February 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 I watched the whole show last night--- -It started talking about HT with 2 Bosley execs and a demo client ( not a great choice of hair restoration in my opinion). -Donny then had a medical Doctor that talked about Propecia and Rogaine. The Doctor pointed out several times that those drugs work best if you are in the earlier stages of hair loss AND you use the product daily for about 8 months to see any real results AND if you stop using it, after 3 months you go back to your natural state. He also pointed out the there is a 2% sexual dysfunction rate in blind clinical trials. -then Donny had the COO or CEO of the lasercomb company ( list price is $540.00!!). Donny was fascinated by the marketing aspect and the markup over cost. The exec kept pointing out that the FDA has now approved this lasercomb for hairloss treatment. He pointed out similiar limitations to the drugs, namely, it works best if you are not totally bald....he actually claimed regrowth of 19 hairs per sq. cm ! ( I'm just repeating what he said, don't shoot the messenger). - Last up was an older gentleman who makes custom hairpieces that cost about 4000 per system. He interestingly had HT done in front of his hairpiece. -- The segment ended with the Doctor from Bosley saying that he believed "hair cloning" would be commercially available in 2009 or 2010. He claimed that they were doing research on this in Europe and ????( I can't recall the second location), he appeared quite comfident on this. My opinion of this show is if you are a frequent lurker on this forum, you already know everything presented. Secondly, Donny is a former marketing exec, he seemed to sift all of his guests through that filter of , how much money can they make, what kind of markup, what kind of growth potential. Thats about all that I can remember at this point about the show.

Senior Member HK500 Posted February 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks for the report. It sounds like at least they did not try to sensationalize any particular option too much, that's a plus IMO. I am surprised Bosley did not pick a spectacular HT patient for the show???? Maybe they could not find any My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Siporin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted February 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 The other thing I found surprising about the client they were showing off, they did not show a before picture.....He had a front hairline but it appeared everything behind was virtually bare.

Senior Member nobuzz4me Posted February 1, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thamks S&P, I missed the first half. Donnie kept refering to the hairloss industry as multibillion dollar. Wasn't it funny when Donny, with that head of hair, said he had tried rogaine himself!!!

Senior Member Salt-N-Peppa Posted February 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2007 If he was on Rogaine, all I can say is "hair greed". Dudes hair is like a beaver pelt.
