peterson12 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi All, Just have a question to all those who have had a HT done. Is this worth it? not in terms of monetary value but in terms of results. As much good reviews as i have read, i have read twice as many bad reviews and I am quite confused at the moment. I have an appointment for a procedure at Bosley in 1 week and have two minds about it. My concerns are a noticable scar, an unnatural look, the healing time before i can get back to work without being noticed, and an irreversible procedure. Thanks much.

Senior Member haircut Posted February 9, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 Absolutely it was worth it! That said, cancel with Bosley immediately and go to a good HT doctor. All of your concerns will likely surface if you go to Bosley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterson12 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks, have you had a HT at Bosley or this based on first hand knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member haircut Posted February 9, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 It is based on what I hear everyone that has been to Bosley say. They are horrible at best! My nickname for the is 'Bosley the Butcher.' My suggestion would be to do some research on this forum for a few months. Also, start Propecia and Minoxidil right away. If you are a youngster the Propecia can make a dramitic difference inside of a year. There are many great HT doctors. You will hear there names come up often on this forum. That said, I have never heard a positive thing said about Bosley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldingbro Posted February 9, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have read lot of horror stories on these forums about bosley. Also Bosley is expensive. It is commonsense that talented doctors start their own practice, They don't usually work for these groups for salary.

Senior Member haircut Posted February 9, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 The basic rule is that you have a finite donor area. Don't let Bosley mess that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RockZ Posted February 10, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2011 Bosley seems to have the 'greenest' doctors. They have to compensate and pass on costs to the customer for all their advertising BS. IMHO, you're paying more money for a higher probability of sub-par results. Before I researched I went to a Bosley consultation, and it didn't seem that scary, but for the price and the availability of world-class surgeions you would be much better served going elsewhere.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted February 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 Honestly, Does not worth it if you have hair left as much of 30-40 FU/cm2, you can use concealers and thats it. Do the job.. But if you extend baldness more down to 20 FU/Cm2 or less, then you need a transplant. And yes it worth every cent of it..Just look at the before and after photos and imagine what these patients gained from confidence and youth looks. Ah and sorry you said Bosely??? R.I.P in advance...

Senior Member RCWest Posted February 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 A lot of hair mill doctors are either freshly accredited doctors or even doing their residency there. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member HARIRI Posted February 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 I agree with RCWEST. Once the Doc talks about money a lot and encourage to do much grafts over what you need, that you would know after researching a lot in the net, you would that he is from hair mill doctors. One main charcteristic they have is that they would say your hair looks great while it looks like shit. As if they have eyes to see beyond reality. Thats what i hate so much.

Senior Member mattj Posted February 11, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2011 I agree with RCWEST. Once the Doc talks about money a lot and encourage to do much grafts over what you need, that you would know after researching a lot in the net, you would that he is from hair mill doctors. From what I've seen I think the hair mills actually use fewer grafts than are usually necessary for a good result. I think they prefer small to medium sized procedures that are quick and easy to perform so they can fit in a higher number of patients. That's just my own observation of what I think is a general trend. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.
