Bosley Blog Tells Personal Account of Hair Restoration

Posted on January 14, 2007

Bosley has launched a blog called Battle Against Bald. The blog tells the personal story of Seth Garon who went through the Bosley Hair Restoration Procedure. The blog was launched by and is officially sponsored by Bosley according to press release.

Seth Garon, of Portland, Oregon, was all too familiar with male pattern baldness, as evidenced by the continuing growth of his bald spot and receding hair line. However, it was Garon's family albums that provided the dimmest forecast of his increasingly thinning future, with his father and grandfather both suffering from hair loss.
But instead of succumbing to his genetically predetermined fate, Garon faced his balding scalp head-on.
On July 5, 2006, Garon underwent hair restoration at the Bosley Medical Seattle Office, and he has written a daily blog about his experiences with the Bosley procedure, hair transplant recovery, and hair regrowth process.

Seth's blog has continued for six months after the initial consultion detailing the procedure and showing Garon's hair growth with Flickr photographs. The blog is totally sponsored by Bosley and they aren't hiding that fact -- they were clear in the press release and the blog also says, "my procedure was sponsored and performed by Bosley." Other hair restoration related subjects are discussed by Garon in the blog, such as a product called HairRex.

Blogs like this one with videos and personal anecdotes may help companies explain complex medical and cosmetic surgery procedures and treatments far more effectively than a brochure or a promotional video. However, a good question was raised by one of the blog's readers about what happens to these kinds of blogs when the procedure has finished. A reader named Stu asked Seth Garon, "Will the blog continue, now you have hair? :)"
