What Are the Benefits of MaxHarvest™ Hair Transplant?

MaxHarvest™ is Dr. Brett Bolton's proprietary hair restoration technique, designed to make effective use of available donor hair through careful donor management, graft handling, and personalized surgical planning. The approach is intended to help appropriate patients achieve natural-looking coverage while preserving donor resources for long-term hair restoration.

What Are the Benefits of MaxHarvest™?

  • Donor Hair Optimization: Careful planning focuses on making effective use of the patient's available donor hair.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Graft placement considers natural hair direction, angle, distribution, and the patient's existing hair.
  • Customized Treatment: The approach is adapted to the patient's hair loss pattern, donor characteristics, and restoration goals.
  • Coverage and Density: Treatment planning is designed to achieve appropriate coverage and density based on the patient's available donor supply.
  • Long-Term Donor Management: Available donor hair is considered as part of a long-term restoration strategy.

Who May Be a Candidate for MaxHarvest™?

MaxHarvest™ may be considered for patients with pattern hair loss, patients seeking improved coverage or density, and individuals requiring corrective hair restoration after previous procedures. Suitability depends on the patient's hair loss pattern, donor hair characteristics, previous procedures, and overall restoration goals.

Why Does Experience Matter?

Hair restoration requires careful diagnosis, donor management, graft handling, hairline design, and precise placement. Dr. Brett Bolton combines extensive hair restoration experience with personalized treatment planning to develop an approach suited to each patient.

Dr. Bolton has performed more than 10,000 hair restoration procedures, including approximately 75% corrective hair transplant cases.

Understanding hair transplantation can help patients make informed decisions about their hair restoration options. Treatment planning can take into account factors such as the pattern of hair loss, available donor hair, existing hair characteristics, and individual restoration goals.

A hair transplant is a personalized procedure, and the recommended approach can vary from one patient to another. Learning about the treatment process, preparation, recovery, and gradual development of transplanted hair can help patients establish realistic expectations.

For people researching hair restoration, understanding the different stages of treatment can provide useful background before a consultation. Professional evaluation can then help determine which options may be appropriate for the patient’s individual circumstances.

Our Pricing Philosophy

Please understand that we do not charge by the graft. We believe that pricing hair transplantation this way can be misleading. For example, when a clinic quotes “1,000 grafts,” that number alone does not indicate how much hair you are actually receiving. A graft may contain one, two, or three hairs, and each situation represents a very different total amount of hair, even though the patient is charged the same based solely on the graft count. For this reason, we believe that graft-based pricing does not always reflect the true value or outcome of a procedure.

Instead, we have chosen what we believe is a fairer and more transparent approach: pricing based on the amount of donor tissue removed. Our planning is based on averages. The average adult male has approximately 200 hairs per square centimeter in the donor area, although individual hair density varies. Regardless of individual density, patients at the same pricing level receive approximately the same amount of donor tissue extracted. This provides consistency in the amount of tissue removed rather than relying on graft numbers that can vary significantly in hair content.

While it is not possible to guarantee an exact number of square centimeters removed, we make every effort to come as close as possible to the planned amount. When feasible, we aim to slightly exceed the planned amount rather than fall short.
