Other complaints

 

Let’s have a deeper look at the pattern and types of complaints about Bosley.

When it comes to hair transplants, most complaints about Bosley seem to centre around two main complaints:

  1. The overall dissatisfaction with the results of the transplant and
  2. The feeling that the results weren’t worth the money spent.

Many patients stated that the amount of hair grafts transplanted the first time wasn’t enough; therefore, their hair wasn’t as thick and full as they were expecting it to be once the procedure was completed.

Customers have also complained about patchiness throughout their scalps, meaning an inconsistent look because the hair didn’t fill the entire scalp but only parts of it.

Another complaint about hair transplants from Bosley centres around the hair not growing-in properly.

Some patients claim that the hair grows back unevenly with some long hairs and some short ones growing in the same area.

They also claim that the hairs grew out in different directions throughout the scalp, giving the patient an unattractive and “fake” look.

Of course, one of the main complaints regarding Bosley is the amount of money spent on the procedures and the feeling that the procedure just wasn’t worth it in the end.

DO THIS BEFORE A HAIR TRANSPLANT

The services offered by Bosley

 

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): Used since the 1980s, this is a three-step process that starts by drawing the patient’s blood and injecting it into the scalp.

At one time, PRP was used to heal tendons and muscles but it is now showing a lot of promise in the area of hair restoration.

  • Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant: Instead of removing an entire strip of scalp from the patient, the doctor removes individual hair follicles and transplants them back into the scalp.

FUE is effective and results in very little scarring, which is why it is a popular method of hair transplantation these days.

  • Adistem infusion: Great if you suffer with thinning hair, this non-surgical procedure requires little downtime and is one of the most advanced methods for regrowing your hair. It regenerates hair with healing proteins and your own intrinsic growth factors.
  • Low-level laser: Also called red light therapy, the procedure irradiates photons into scalp tissues to get amazing results. Weak cells absorb the photons and this encourages the growth of new hair in your scalp.

It is generally a safe procedure that is less invasive than standard hair transplant surgery. Is it effective? doubts remain.
