Which Hair Restoration Technique Is Right for Me?

There is no single hair restoration technique that is right for every patient. The appropriate approach depends on the individual's hair loss pattern, donor hair characteristics, previous procedures, desired density, hairline goals, and long-term restoration plan.

What Factors Determine the Right Technique?

  • Hair Loss Pattern: The location, extent, and progression of hair loss help determine the appropriate restoration strategy.
  • Donor Hair Availability: The quantity and characteristics of available donor hair are important when planning treatment.
  • Hair Characteristics: Hair thickness, texture, curl, and natural growth direction can influence treatment planning.
  • Previous Procedures: Patients with previous hair transplants may require specialized or corrective planning.
  • Restoration Goals: Hairline design, coverage, density, and long-term expectations should all be considered.

Dr. Brett Bolton's Hair Restoration Techniques

Dr. Brett Bolton uses personalized treatment planning and proprietary hair restoration techniques, including MaxHarvest™, Bolton Bundle™, and Bolton EDGE™, when appropriate for the individual patient.

MaxHarvest™ focuses on strategic donor hair management and restoration planning, while Bolton EDGE™ addresses personalized hairline design. Bolton Bundle™ is incorporated into appropriate treatment strategies based on the patient's individual needs.

How Is the Right Approach Determined?

A consultation and detailed evaluation allow Dr. Bolton to assess your hair loss, donor supply, previous procedures, and restoration goals. This information helps determine a personalized treatment strategy rather than applying the same technique to every patient.

Natural-looking hair restoration depends on careful planning and consideration of how transplanted hair will complement the patient’s existing hair. Factors such as hairline design, hair characteristics, donor availability, and the distribution of existing hair can all be relevant.

The placement of transplanted follicular units is planned according to the areas requiring restoration and the overall appearance the treatment is intended to achieve. Individual hair characteristics can influence how density and coverage are approached.

Patients considering hair transplantation can benefit from discussing their desired appearance and long-term goals during consultation. Understanding how treatment planning relates to natural-looking restoration can help patients make informed decisions about their options.

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.
