Michael- 9 Days After the Bosley Procedure

I am very excited as today is the first day I could shampoo somewhat vigorously. (Actually, I was told I could do that on day 7, however, I was being extra cautious).  Oh, how great it felt to shampoo with some pressure! I could tell a lot more of the little scabs were coming off.

I had an appointment with a local doctor to have the stitches removed. It was interesting, this doctor had never had a patient come in asking for stitches to be removed after a hair restoration. Honestly, the removal was the worst part of the last 10 days. Some of my hair was tied into the knots at each stitch (about every inch or so) so every time she pulled on a section that was knotted I winced a little. I was very excited to have these things out! 

When I went home, the back of my head was a bit tender but not really painful. I am now out of pain meds (the gel as well as the spray) so I guess I am all on my own!

[hair transplants]

In the past, the results were unnatural, costly and complicated. In the most recent 20 years, balding men have begun to enjoy the revolutionary advancements in the field of hair restoration. Dr. Meshkin has been at the forefront of these advances, pioneering the development of the innovative Nokor Microslit Grafting technique, which has been broadly described and accepted in authoritative medical journals and textbooks.

The technique was first introduced in 1989 and presented at the hair transplant seminars around the country. It was officially published at the journal of dermatology and

oncology in 1994, the book or innovations and complications in cosmetic surgery in 1995, the hair transplant surgery text book by Dr. Dow Stough in 1996 and it was used as a reference at the hair transplant text book by Dr.Walt Unger in 2004. Dr. Meshkins’ technique offered physicians tremendous flexibility in the field of hair restoration surgery and contributed to the most recent microslit grafting technique.

Today’s’ new advance Ultra Refined Follicular Unit hair transplant allows for the ultimate in fullness and naturalness in one surgery mega session. We have all seen the plugy hair transplant of the past. But we don’t see today’s state of the art hair transplants because they go unnoticed. The transformation was from Plugs to micrografts to ultra refine grafts. Surgical hair restoration has dramatically evolved from big round “plug” grafts in the 60’s , minigrafts of 80’s to micrografts of 90 s and to modern hair transplant procedures using entirely follicular unit grafts.
