I have seen read some negative items on Bosley and wonder if anyone has had sucessful experiences with them. Also- I recently saw a hair transplant patient whose hairline was extremely red three weeks post- procedure- is this unusual?
I encourage potential hair transplant patients to research any hair restoration surgeon or clinic they are considering. Our hair restoration discussion forum has posts by hundreds of patients going back over six years. To research past posts click on the “Find” button and then enter the name of the clinic or physician you are curious about.
Generally the national chains like Bosley or Medical Hair Restoration do not get favorable reviews on the hair loss forums. Of course, many of their patients don’t use the Internet either and typically go to these national groups after viewing their very compelling TV commercials. I expect that some of them are indeed satisfied. However, some of those who are not satisfied seem to dig a little deeper past the TV ads and find their way on to the discussion forums like ours.
In my opinion, those who do their research online will find independent hair restoration physicians and clinics who provide higher levels of service, refinement, naturalness and value those who just watch TV ads.
As for post op recovery, with today’s minimally invasive and ultra refined hair transplant techniques patients heal much faster in their recipient/hairline areas. If a patient still is extremely red three weeks post op I would suspect that their procedure was not state of the art.

BEWARE ! Dr. Tania Pauls was the doctor for my hair grafts. BEWARE !
I have NEVER experienced so much PAIN. I was told I would not feel anything.
I have been to Dr. Harris in Denver many times with no pain and great success. However, I wanted to try someone new and REALLY REGRET IT !!! OUCH !!! I was in agonizing pain for the entire procedure and she was not even there. Everyone could hear me and my pain yet they did not give me the pain relief... I never felt any pain and was smiling through the entire procedure with Dr. Harris in Denver.
Lastly, she only showed up in the first coupld minutes and last 10 minutes to do very small amount of work. She didn't even stay in the room.
I would give Zer0 Strars if possible.
I am a female and had a transplant in Atlanta by Dr Work and hid team. I found it to be a great experience well considering what they were doing to me lol. I am approximately 5 weeks post op. Still have soreness and itching and a little red and white heads (just as they said would happen) and my other hair is falling out some too once again as they said may happen in the donor area.. It's scary but I can't wait to see 1 year post op. I'm only 39 and this was a life saver. Going to start using rogain this week and still lay off the topik. Powder and fullmore spray another few weeks. I have. Been wearing headbands and fake bangs to cover. Good luck to all
I had a hair transplant done by the Bosley office in Denver about 4 months ago. I can already see some hair growth, although it is very fine. In another few months, I should see significant growth. I think that, like anything in life, you can't smear bosley as a whole. Like a massage therapist, it's not the place you visit, it's the therapist. I think that's true here. The doctor at this Bosley, Tania Pauls, has a great bedside manner and made me feel comfortable. Yes, it wasn't cheap but so far I am happy.
Alex,
Hair transplant surgery is legit. However, the experience and skill of hair transplant surgeons vary widely as do their results. Thus, I encourage you to take some time and research our community, ask questions on our hair loss discussion forum and social community and learn about the benefits, limitations and potential risks of hair transplant surgery.

is this legit? is there any side effects? can i still wear hats? how long does it take to see results?
I actually had two procedures done at the Bosley Scottsdale Office and had excellent results! I was apprehensive about going to Bosley at first, but I personally knew 2 people who also had procedures done there and we very satisfied so I decided to try it. I am very happy I did. The results are much better than I expected!
