MaxHarvest Technique of Hair Restoration at Great Hair Transplants by Dr. Bolton
A YouTube video featuring how the MaxHarvest hair transplant procedure is performed has garnered 3 million viewers. The hair restoration procedure ensures maximum density of transplanted hair with the advantage of an undetectable scar. The method has been developed by Dr. Brett Bolton, medical director and founder of Great Hair Transplants.
Max Harvest hair transplant procedure is a special technique that uses a unique harvesting method that safely removes maximum number of hairs based on the individual’s scalp elasticity and donor area condition. A single procedure completes the entire process of hair transplant eliminating multiple visits to the physician.
The technique removes as much of donor tissue possible based on the elasticity of the scalp. Even 6,000 to 8,000 hairs can be removed in some cases. The method is unique as it leaves no detectable scar.
While transecting the bulb of the follicle during extraction, the MaxHarvest technique separates the follicles under magnification to prevent damage to any hair. The time taken for MaxHarvest is much less compared to most FUE procedures. Less harvest time and faster surgery also means healthier tissue for growth, less anesthesia, less swelling and also faster recovery times.
Dr. Brett Bolton offers MaxHarvest method of surgery in hair transplant at the Great Hair Transplants clinic.
Dr.Bolton’s Bolton Bundle technique helps extract more hairs in the grafts. The grafts are placed behind the frontal hairline to deliver thicker and natural results. This slit graft size is small enough to thrive and also produces a rich density of hair.
As the time for dissection is less and more hair can be transplanted in a single placement, the surgery time is also reduced. Also the Bolton Bundles can be placed precisely which in turn insures their survival. The Bolton Bundles are also called Multiple Follicular Unit Grafts which have 4 - 8 hairs per graft. Natural results are produced as the transplanted hair follows the same pattern as the naturally occurring hair.
The Bolton EDGE is a suture technique developed by Dr.Bolton which helps avoid scars in the entire donor area. In the new suture technique the scar produced is as thin as a paper’s edge. There is no unsightly scar produced in MaxHarvest method.
Josh Engoren, Executive Vice President at Great Hair Transplants further added that this one-procedure method will be the best alternative as is proven by the numerous positive results. He also advises that patients have to screen clinics based on the procedure, experience and expertise of surgeons, their specialty and positive results obtained by them.
While checking before and after photos of patients published by clinics the lighting, the period it took for full restoration of hair and the number of procedures that were required have to be ascertained before selecting the clinic. Great Hair Transplant will continue to showcase its results via videos.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
