I spent almost 12000 for hair transplant
Very crooked business
The biggest mistake of my life.
Dr Karl Hekimian performed my hair transplant for my thinning edges in 2015. Three months after the procedure, I experience what it is known as shock loss-when hair falls out as result of trauma induce by the transections.
I was informed by the doctor that the shock loss was only temporary. When my hair grew back; however, I noticed that some of the native did not return.
During consultation with Bosley, Dr. Karl Hekimian never warned of the possibility of permanent shock loss. Also, it was not indicated in any of the documentation given to me review or sign.
The doctor finally confirmed to me shock loss can be permanent -a small percentage though-in one of my post procedure appointment. If the doctor had told me of this side effect, I would never had proceeded with the procedure. Doctor offered me PRP injection sessions to rectify the problem but it only exacerbated the issue . Two months later, my hair started to fall out and I have a big bald spot close to the edges of my hair.
In addition, the scar on the donor side is very noticeable. The little holes from the transection are also obvious. I am so depressed that when I see myself in the mirror I start to cry. All I think about is how bad my hair is.
My hair looked better before I got the procedure.
If you are going to do this procedure, I suggest you not to going this doctor. Him and staff are nice individuals but I think the doctor is incompetent.

Bosley Treatment
Experience was poor
I did 1000 grafts in Philadelphia for $10,300. About 50% fell out after the first two years.
I contacted them for a second procedure and they gave me a price over the phone which was extremely high. I had a second procedure in my spouse's native country (Thailand) where the medical industry is much more friendly, easier, more qualified, professional and much cheaper ($6000 for 350 grafts).
They gave me better post-transplant instructions and the results were amazing. In a nutshell, Bosley had poor results , much more expensive and they keep coming back for more money with advertising and brochures to me because they don't do it right the first time

Transplant is only as good as the Drones doing it
I had significant hair loss when I had my transplants done in 2003. First of all, they didn't say anything about lifetime maintenance with smelly hair foam, special shampoo & conditioner, and prescription drugs.
Never mind all of that. I noticed that during the entire 2 or 3 hour procedure, all of the transplanted "plugs" from the back of my head to the top were done by 2 or 3 Hispanic "technicians", who did nothing the ENTIRE time..seriously...but gossip about unrelated stuff in their lives, while doing the procedure entirely by rote. After a week or so, most of the transplanted hair had developed white blisters at the base, and was falling out, as was evident at every shower. When I called Bosley about it, they said "that was normal".
Anyway, long story short, within a very short time, i.e. a few months, I was as bald as I was when I had $7K more in my pocket. I didn't do anything about it, because (a) I expected it to come back, but moreover (b) my life was in turmoil on my job, and I had to relocate to a small town in Florida. It has pissed me off ever since, watching the commercials "this is MY hair"...well for a month, in my case.
Since they were so inattentive and distracted, I suspect that the "technicians" missed some crucial disinfectant step (or otherwise screwed up) and Bosley just didn't want to take ownership of it after the fact, or maybe it was wishful thinking, that after the initial plugs and hair came out, they would come back.
I'm finally in a position to take action, even if it just means posting ultimate "Before and After" photos all over the Internet. My selfie doesn't look anything like the results that "Peter Brady" got.

Armpit hair
Hair didn’t grow as promised.
Boooo
No change for the better. Bought a kit and followed direction explicitly--as recommended.
My hair appeared limp and lifeless before I started using the Bosley system, then actually began to look worse: Nourishing shampoo--normal to fine hair--color treated, disappointing! Volumizing conditioner--normal to fine hair--color treated, disappointing! Thickening Treatment--normal to fine hair--color treated, disappointing! After a beautician had worked with my hair for several week, she suggested I began the Bosley program.
She had trimmed my hair, conditioned my hair, colored my hair and combed and styled my hair.
I actually purchased the treatment kit two times. Fool me once, shame on your company Fool me twice, shame on me.

Do not despair , there is yet another and probably more satisfactory solution for you.Other forms of hair replacement are often very effective and never disfiguring or ugly.Find a competent or preferably expert piece and weave specialist ; do not patronize the large well known chain, get a bona fide expert. Do your homework and find the type of person I have indicated.
I have been fooling everyone for 26 years because my technician is an expert and uses only the best materials as well. You will look like a million bucks for a whole lot less and feel a lot better than what you have described.
Who/where do you go?
