closed captioning provided by production west. www.prodwest.com are you losing your hair and don't know what to do? i looked in he mirror and i couldn't even recognize myself. i thought where did it all go? how did it happen so fast? are you concealing your hair loss from the world by wearing a hat all the time? even around your loved ones? i had a collection of 300 or so plus hats i'm sure i did. i'd get up and the first thing i'd do is put a baseball cap on. are you fed up with spending money on pills and topical treatments that don't deliver the results you want? and wonder if there's anything out there that actually works? i tried everything i could think of. literally everything. this is the one thing i didn't have control over. it drove me nuts. well during the next half hour you'll get to hear intimate in-depth stories from real live people just like you who have lost their hair but have chosen hair restoration to get it back. i feel i definitely look better with hair than without. and you'll get to see close up their actually honest to goodness results. nothing to hide, no
5:31 am
punches pulled. bosley hair restoration up close and personal. hi i'm matt rogers. and today we're going to show you everything we can about hair loss, it's causes and what you can do to obtain a noticeably thicker fuller head of hair. specifically we're gonna talk to you about bosley, the state of the art in natural hair restoration. what we want to do is dispel all the myths, shatter the misconceptions and demonstrate just how difficult it really is, even up close to tell the difference between a bosley restored hairline and a natural hairline. we're gonna walk you step by step through the process and introduce you to a bunch of men and women who refused to accept hair loss sitting down. i just happen to be one of those people. this is how i looked 7 years ago when i was a contestant on american idol and this is how i look today. but hey, i'm just one person. let's hear what some other folks have to say. life comes at yourself fast and one day it really hits you, i'm bald. i hated it. she always
5:32 am
wanted to go to the clubs or the trendy restaurants and i always like to go to a place like an irish pub where i can wear a ball cap and a t shirt and not have to wear dressed up stuff where everybody could see i was balding really badly. and i kept playing that game of if it would just top here i'd be good. unfortunately you keep doing that year after year and then suddenly it's just it's too far gone. i know my wife wouldn't care if i was completely bald. this is strictly a personal thing. it's just how i see myself. i loved bozo the clown when i was a kid but i never really wanted to look like him. male pattern hair loss is the pattern that you notice in men who have hair loss. you're losing hair in the front. you're getting some recession, you're getting some balding in the back. and hose areas are coming together until you have no hair on the top of your head. the main culprit is a chemical, a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. most commonly people refer to it as dht. if you have genes that make your hair follicles sensitive those hair follicles will gradually miniaturize and you look bald. but this hair on the back isn't influenced by dht. those hairs can be made
5:33 am
easily into grafts that will be durable. and when they're transplanted into the area then they will grow and they will continue to grow. and that concept is called donor dominance. so this hair which is genetically determined to last a lifetime, to be permanent hair, when you move it, remains permanent lifetime hair. this is the basis for permanent lifelong hair restoration. at 28 years old it just became a stressful situation. every day i'd get up, i'd look in the mirror. i'd constantly be thinking about my hair. when i jumped in a swimming pool it looked ten times worse and i had very deep temple recession so it was really coming in through here. and i had a lot of grafting done in through the center here just to really add some density and thicken that up. simple out patient procedure. i actually got in the car and drove home after it. i had a 2 ½ hour drive home and just took a long weekend off and i went back on monday and nobody knew that i actually had the procedure done. i was working with a guy who had done bosley hair transplants and i didn't even know it. one day i was confessing that i was pretty concerned about my hair loss,
5:34 am
he says why don't you go to bosley and get your hair transplanted. i was like well, i don't want my hair to look like doll plugs. and he goes does my hair look like doll plugs? and i was like what? your hair? once i saw that, it's completely natural. there's no way to tell. hairs grow in one to four hair groupings. we call those follicular units. when we do a hair restoration procedure, what we want to so is place those follicular units in the appropriate places within the hairline or behind the hairline, to maximize density but also to maintain a natural appearance. we take tat hair that's not programmed to go bald and we move it into the areas you'd rather have it. you know areas like the front, your hairline, areas that when people look at you, frame your face. so follicle by follicle,, graft by graft we can pout hair back right where you lost hair. hair by hair. if you look at the photo it's just night and day compared to where i was and to where i am now, i'm an incredibly happy man and very thankful. a friend of mine i told him hey, you know i went through bosley and look how

5:38 am
friend that kept trying to encourage me saying look, if you're really that worried about it you got 2 choices, you deal with it or you shave your head. and at one point i shaved my head. and i was a total cue ball. in my opinion go to bosley because they are by far the best. and i felt so comfortable that i wouldn't even hesitate to recommend bosley to someone else. it really is important that you find out everything you can about all of your options from a trusted resource. most of the stuff out there in the marketplace is well, bogus for a lack of a better term. the truth is there are just 3 fda approved treatments that might work for you if you're in the early stages of hair loss. we have 2 goals when you have hair loss. one is retention, hold the hair you have. the other one is to restore hair you've already lost. so at bosley we use everything available to us to hold the hair. medications, medical devices that can help and then at the same time surgical restoration. a combination treatment is very common in a lot of medical conditions. you use the medical side and the surgical side and of course the medical side,
5:39 am
propecia, monoxodil, laser combs. those are very helpful in conjunction with moving more hair into the area so you can improve your appearance. my wife got sick of me complaining. we saw the infomercial on tv and she said just call them and go and see what they have to say. the doctor made me feel real comfortable. how he looked at me when he was doing the look and where, how that was gonna work for me, it was like an artist. and that was, i was just like wow, i'm so glad i did it. i really am glad that i did the procedure. this is all my hair. this ain't goin' away. let's assume you've done your research and you want to take the next step. let's see what it's like to visit one of bosley's nationwide offices for a personalized, no cost, no obligation consultation. coming to bosley for consultation will help answer some questions. hi peter how are you? the only thing it's gonna cost you is a little bit of time. so peter why don't we look at this classification chart here. the role of a bosley counselor is multi faceted. where do you think you might be on this? i think i'm probably right in this 4, 4 to 5 range. not only are they there to help educate the patient about the options
5:40 am
available but it's also to listen to what it is they want to achieve. so why don't we have a look at the photograph that we took a little bit earlier. i'd like to get these empty areas filled back in and then maybe bring the hairline back down. this is a patient who i think is in a similar situation to yourself. it's remarkable. i would love to have a result like that. well what we need to do is get the doctor in and see what his plan is. well the doctor's role is to take the general information and to apply that to the individual patient. now let's take a look at your donor hair top make sure that an accurate diagnosis is made. that is that hair restoration is the proper thing to do and will work, and then to give an idea of what the size of the procedure will be and the eventual outcome. i want to bring your hairline back down where it belongs. we want something that's specific to you. how much hair are you losing? how much are you expected to lose in a lifetime? what are your options in terms of restoration? all in all i'd say you're an excellent candidate for a hair restoration and you should expect an excellent result. at the end of every consultation the patient is gonna leave with a personalized consultation
5:41 am
report. basically a summary of the entire consultation. if you feel, after your consultation, that bosley restoration is the right choice for you, great. if not, that's ok, too. there are a lot of misconceptions about hair loss. i think it's really important that you have an honest discussion with a physician so that you can be an educated consumer and understand what your options may be,. i figured i've got one time to get it right and so i wanted to make sure that i was with the right company that was gonna give me what i was looking for. which was a natural appearance. that's one of the most important things. is this gonna look natural? am i gonna be happy with this? and so i did my due diligence. went online and after doing the research i called bosley, set up the appointment. i did meet with the counselor and when i left there i felt like i had a good comprehensive plan on not only replacing the hair i lost but also trying to keep the hair i had. it was nice to know that i could have something done and something that was affordable for me. it was feasible. it wasn't something that just the movie stars did. i mean it was something that an average guy like myself could get done, too. i've done hair for 19 years and when someone
5:42 am
says they've had a hair transplant if i cannot identify it i'm like, where'd you go? bosley? and yeah. and this is the photo i have hanging up in my studio. so when somebody doesn't believe that i have a transplant i pull this out and they're like, that's not even you. and i go, i would not lie to you about hair. my restoration was done right here and i had some actually filled in the back. so if i want to style it differently and i want to put it up, you know and i want to take it down a little bit, i want to switch part sides i can do that. and it's not like before when i had to place the hair here hoping to conceal some skin. no matter how you cut it or cover it up hair loss well, let's just say that for most of us it's less than desirable. and if you're like me you'll try almost anything to keep it from progressing. and believe me it just doesn't stop on it's own. the problem is that there's not very many viable options out there. that's why you need to do some research. and the best place i know to start is with bosley. call now for this free

5:45 am
has to get where beyond 50% that's when you start to notice it. and it will continue to go on. his hair loss is progressive and it's dynamic. early on i had gone to a dermatologist and asked him about my hair loss. and i asked him what i could do about it and he said nothing really. you're gonna go bald one day. there's a lot more women that have hair problems than you would imagine. you will find that probably 25% of women have significant hair loss by age 50. most typically women will keep their hairline, keep their temples and lose profusely throughout the top of their heads. the counselor told me what it was all about and brought the doctor in and they said, you know, this is something you can do. and i thought all right well what do i have to lose? you can't see much really, other than my roots which you know, have to talk to my colorist about that. because i've been on tv talking about bosley for years now people are always coming up to me and going dude you did it. you're the bosley guy. wow your hair looks great. i mean i've told the whole world about my hair restoration because i am so thrilled with it and for me it's completely changed my life. but if you don't want anybody to know, no problem.
5:46 am
because the thing about a bosley hair restoration is that it looks so completely natural. dr. bosley brought to hair restoration an attention to the artistry. not just the technical aspects. dr. bosley always recognized that you're not constructing a hairline, part of that artistry that goes into bosley hair restoration is creating a natural looking hairline zone in the front. when a man comes in totally bald in the front we have to start a hairline from scratch. and what we do is exclusively use just one hair grafts in the very front to keep that nice gradual transition and that's extremely important in creating a very natural looking hairline. and as we move back behind that we still want to maintain those one hairs, maybe get some 2 hair units in there. then as we move back behind that we can have 3 and even 4 hair units to add volume and density and give the desired result. you walk into a forest and you see every tree lined up perfectly, you know nature didn't do that. it's the same with the hairline. you gotta make sure you keep it soft, natural, little bit irregular.
5:47 am
another thing that dr. bosley brought to hair restoration is an incredible attention to detail. dr. bosley knew that each individual hair was important. the place you put it, the angle, direction of each individual hair shaft. really the goal is that nobody should be able to tell that you've had a transplant. so there's a lot of artistry involved. it's something that the doctors here are very passionate about because this really allows us to recreate something that we know is gonna give great satisfaction to you as a patient. i went to bosley because their whole organization is set up around hair restoration. so i liked that. it wasn't like i was going to a doctor that does all sorts of different procedures and cosmetic stuff and does hair restoration too you know. all the do is hair restoration. it's amazing how much sensitivity they have to the way your hair is supposed to look. i mean he looked at all my features and he knew where the hairline is supposed to be. we were talking about the hairline, we were talking about how it was gonna grow and he was like steve what i'm gonna do is i'm going to take the cue from the hair you still have
5:48 am
left on your head and see how it curls? the hair i'm gonna replace is gonna curl just like that. i was like he gets what i'm supposed to look like. i like it. for me it's a full complete natural result. i'm sure you're wondering what's the procedure itself like? well i can't speak for everybody but mine was easy. i showed up on a wednesday morning, watched 2 movies, ate lunch and was home that evening. hair restoration procedure now is a simple out patient procedure. we will numb up an area on the back of the scalp and i will excise the donor strip. the length of that strip depends on how many grafts we're gonna do. once the strip is removed the team will take that and separate out the follicular units. the techs that work on our team here, that's all they do. they're trained in that, they do it every single day and they've been doing this for a long time. i'll make the sites and the team comes in and places the grafts in those sites. making those sites i have to make sure i get the proper angle of the hair that it's
5:49 am
gonna grow, the orientation. i don't want the existing hair going this way and the hairs i put in going this way. they all have to flow exactly together. and then once all those sites are made we take one follicle and slide it into each spot. it's like an orchestra and each person has their part and is very experienced at what they do. there's a lot of attention to detail and there is meticulous care at each step in the procedure. despite all of the advances in medicine, hair transplantation remains the only way to permanently replace hair you've lost. once it's over it's something that you'll have forever and then you don't have to worry about it. can you believe that? that was 12 years ago. before i even came into bosley i put my hands on anything to do with hair loss and it didn't give me the results i needed. i needed my hair back and the only way to really do that, the only way to really get your hair to grow back is to transplant it. to take care of yourself. to take care of who you are. i don't think you can put a price on that. and as you can see, 12 years later, it'll be an investment that keeps growing. i started losing my hair when i
5:50 am
was 22 years old. instead of just accepting it as fate or hoping it would somehow get better, i figured there had to be something i can do about it. that's when i discovered bosley. the first thing i did was contact them and learn everything i possibly could about natural hair restoration. and that's exactly what you should do too. call now for this free information kit. it includes bosley's newest interactive dvd and this comprehensive guide book. inside you'll find a self evaluation form to help you identify your specific type and degree of hair loss and learn what to expect during and after a procedure. you'll also receive this in depth medical report on the causes and fda approved treatments options for hair loss. bosley is the world's most experience hair restoration expert. bosley physicians are selected on the basis of their exceptional surgical skills and then trained in the technical and artistic techniques developed by dr. l. lee bosley. believe it or not all this hair in the front that you're looking at is bosley restored hair. you wash it you get it cut. it's your own real hair growing on the top of your head. and it'll be there for the rest of your
5:51 am
life. the fact is there are surgeons out there that could perform the technical aspects of this operation if properly trained. where we excel at bosley is the artistry. making that natural hairline that's gonna look beautiful for the rest of his or her life. putting the hat on was an alternative. a toupee was an alternative. shaving your head was an alternative. but nothing felt natural. it bothered me enough to do something about it and so i did,. and bosley was the best choice i could have ever made for myself. and with multiple financing options available for qualified applicants bosley hair restoration has never been more affordable. plus to help get you started bosley wants to make it even more affordable. welcome to bosley. by sending you a $250.00 gift certificate good toward a bosley hair restoration procedure. and bosley guarantees that the transplanted hair will grow or we will replace it free of charge. that hair would have been gone by now and i'd have been totally bald on top. so i'm so grateful and thankful because that was who i used to be and his is who i am now. if you've just started losing your hair then chances are it's

5:53 am
had the horseshoe coming all the way back around here with a little patch of hair in the front is what i had left. you kind of go in in the morning, they set you up and everything. you're never under general anesthesia, it's all local. so you don't feel a thing. i hung out for 6 hours in a chair watching movies. i was a little tired but other than that i went back to work 2 days later. the night of the surgery dr. carlson called me just to see how i was doing and gave me his cell phone number so if there was any questions feel free to call, don't even hesitate. so. they do really care about you. a lot of the patients drive themselves home. some of the patients go to work the next day. i know i did. we like patients to avoid strenuous exercise, competitive swimming, surfing that sort of stuff fore a week or so. but after that you're right back on your regular game. when you have hair restoration, the next day you don't look different. people aren't saying what'd you do yesterday? but over time, months after the hair has been restored, the hair slowly grows in. and before you know it 3
5:54 am
months go by and you start to see a little growth, and 3 to 6 months there's really a lot of growth and 6 to 12 months there's just new hair there. real hair. natural looking. it's unbelievable. so it gives you a dramatic change in a very subtle way. you know kids tell you maybe not what you want to hear, but they'll tell you the truth that's for sure. they would go out in public and tell other people. mommy didn't have hair. and though i'm a very confident person, it would hurt at the end of the day. what i had was traction alopecia caused by years of weave, every kind of braid you can think of and over time, with the constant pulling, the hair eventually was gone. it is pretty severe. embarrassing. bosley, they made me feel like i was a human being with feelings. which everyplace should but bosley really emphasized that. it's a normal day. i can go out with the kids and i don't have to worry about what other people think because i have hair. i have had people break down in the office win
5:55 am
tears. because they are so happy for what we've done for them. i just didn't know how good having hair felt. until i got my hair back. you know that old saying in business, if you had everything to gain and nothing to lose why wouldn't you do it? that's right where i was physically with not having hair. it may not show it as much. that's just a kind of little wisp that's going across a big old bald spot in that back. and then i had nothing in the front. i hated it. i just hated it. take this away would you? a lot of us guys and surprisingly many women find themselves eventually having to deal with hair loss. some give in and decide it's just a fact of life. but if it bothers you and you're one of those people who would like to do something about your hair loss before it gets completely out of control, you probably have a few questions you'd like answered first. well you can get those answers right now by calling bosley. call now for this free information kit. it includes this comprehensive guide book and bosley's newest interactive dvd with extended patient
