Patient remarked that his wife felt Dr. Bolton might have gone to low in creating his new hair line.  However, when he checked his original hair line before he lost his hair it was an exact match.
The growth of the new hair will continue for at least 4 more months and possible 10 months until a final result.

UPDATE!


PATIENT FROM MINNESOTA GETS 14,000 PLUS HAIRS IN UNDER 5 HOURS

Patient had a prior micro pigmentation for his scalp and wanted to have hair instead.
He saw what Dr, Bolton was achieving for extreme hair loss patients and was motivated to try to have his entire bald area filled in.  He chose the Maxharvest Plus procedure.  Dr. Bolton was able to yield 62.75 cm2.  The patient has above average donor and is in a class 7 hair loss category.  Dr. Bolton was able to move over 14,000 hairs in 5 hours from start to finish.  The patient is ecstatic with the coverage he has achieved and very excited about his future growth prospects.
We are super excited about Nick's future results and he has agreed to send us updates every month.
Stay tuned for what we know will be another great result.

UPDATE!

SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON

FUE vs. Maxharvest Plus


Hair restoration has offered lot of choices for people to make over the years.  Unfortunately, most of these "miracles" are not with the patients best interest in mind.  Every year the industry tends to embrace the latest claims that do not have scientific or proven backgrounds.  Pills, potions, lights, PRP, FUE, scarless, non surgical, go back to work the next day.  These  have not held up.  I think more emphasis should be on the results you are able to show in one procedure.  That should be the litmus test.  What can you do to maximize your patients one procedure results?  Even better would be to ask a doctor for his most difficult cases and ask to see what the results are for those challenging cases.  That will give you the best way on how to identify a highly skilled and accomplished doctor.  The evidence is in the work and not in the claims a doctor makes.  As we say in the hair business.  "Hair today gone tomorrow." That can be applied to the many "next greatest" methods or techniques that have been offered over the years.


I always like to help people in their decision process whether they choose us or not.  I want to see folks do well and get a nice result.  It always strikes me when people say they have done a lot of research.  I can tell you most people don't do the right type of research and that is understandable, as this is not like anything else you have researched prior.

Here are some things you should know  before making a final decision.  If you don't know these answers you do not know as much as you thought.  I would be glad to help you if you want answers to
these questions.  You can always reach me directly at 954 649 5079 between the hours of 9am - 9 pm EST.

When considering FUE do you know the limits of the procedure in terms of hairs?  The limits of epinephrine for a procedure that can last 12 hours? The affect of epinephrine on graft survival?  The size of the punches to extract the follicles?
Will hair be extracted outside the donor hair and what percentage of the total amount of hair is outside the donor area?  Are you familiar with the word "hyper pigmentation"?  How about "over harvesting of the donor area"?  Do you know who is actually extracting the donor area?  Is it a medically licensed physician?  Does it matter to you?  Are you familiar with the term maximal hair survival by means of harvesting donor hair?  Do you know what small punctate scars are?  Are you aware that different types of scalps and hair may or may not be suitable for FUE?  Do you believe all patients can shave their head and there will be no scars visible with FUE?  Have you heard the term folliculitis from "buried grafts" in the donor region?  Did you ask how this may affect future surgeries if needed and how fibrotic scar tissue from FUE will affect your future procedure or procedures?  Have you discussed the viability of grafts that are waiting to be transplanted for 8-12 hours?  Do you know the difference in the amount of tissue that surrounds the follicle in FUE vs. Maxharvest and which is more beneficial?  More tissue or less in terms of survival and growth?  Have you thought about the method of removal of tissue (harvesting) when you can see what you are doing versus not seeing and going in blind?

If you have given these questions thought and know the answers, I apologize.  However, I doubt 98% of the people researching the advantages and disadvantages of these procedures know these answers.

 I hope I was able to help you in this process.

Respectfully,

UPDATE!





Patient had a prior procedure in New York City with a major National Hair
Center.  He saw the results Dr. Bolton was achieving and decided it was worth it to travel in for the day to do a procedure.  This is after two procedures with Dr. Bolton.  The first was to cover the frontal
and mid scalp area.  The second was to concentrate more on the crown and save some for the front.
You can see the process of improvement by scrolling through this blog.  
Watch the patient get his results.








This patient was able to travel in from New York on the day of the procedure as we generally start at !:30 pm.  The patient was able to fly home the next afternoon and we paid for his travel costs up to $1000 with receipts.

to get more coverage in the crown and a bit more in the front.
He elected to do a Maxharvest procedure again and yielded approximately 7,000
plus hairs.
