Our Services

Areas of Expertise

FUE Hair Transplants

Dr. Boles performs modern Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures for patients who want a minimally invasive option without a linear scar. He carefully selects punch size and technique based on hair texture, follicle depth, and donor density. His FUE work is particularly valued by patients who wear their hair short, those with close-cropped styles, or those seeking a discreet solution with minimal downtime. He has extensive experience with FUE on straight, wavy, and curly hair across multiple ethnic backgrounds.

Adjunct Hair Restoration Therapies

In addition to surgical procedures, Dr. Boles incorporates non-surgical and adjunct therapies into his treatment plans. These may include cellular micrografting, injectable treatments to support follicle health, PDO threads for hair and aesthetic support, anti-aging therapies, and targeted medication regimens. He also advises patients on topical and oral options that can help stabilize shedding, improve density, and maintain results after a transplant. His goal is to build comprehensive plans that address both the cosmetic and biological aspects of hair loss.

FUT / Strip Hair Transplants

For patients with more advanced hair loss or those needing high graft counts, Dr. Boles offers FUT, also known as strip harvesting. His long experience with this technique allows him to optimize donor harvesting while minimizing scarring through refined closure methods. FUT can be ideal for creating substantial coverage in the mid-scalp and crown. Dr. Boles often recommends FUT for patients whose primary goal is maximum density in one or two sessions, especially when donor supply is limited.

Hybrid Transplants

Hybrid transplant strategies combine FUT and FUE to leverage the strengths of each method. Dr. Boles uses FUT to harvest a high number of grafts in a single session, then applies FUE to refine hairlines, temples, or specific zones needing delicate detail. This approach is particularly helpful for patients who have extensive thinning or multiple areas to address and who want the most efficient path to fullness without compromising the donor area’s long-term health.

Facial Hair Transplants

Dr. Boles performs facial hair transplants to restore or enhance beards, mustaches, sideburns, and eyebrows. Facial hair requires precise control of angle, direction, and density, as each area of the face has its own natural growth pattern. He works closely with patients to define their desired shape and fullness, whether they are aiming for a fuller beard, more defined mustache, or symmetrical, natural-looking brows. His technique prioritizes subtlety and realism, ensuring transplanted facial hair blends seamlessly with existing growth.

GHEN Properties

I was hesitant on hair restoration, but found Maxim after doing some research. I finally decided to get an FUE transplant. They were incredible!
Sia, Mariah, and Michelle were my technicians and I could not have been in better hands. Their expertise, professionalism and personal care was humbling. I did not expect such personal pre-and post care in addition to the procedure. It is a considerable emotional investment to have a hair transplant. It was reassuring to have this level of service the entire way.
I honestly can’t imagine that anyone else out there is doing it any better.

Thank you Mariah, Sia and Michelle.

I got a hair transplant over a year ago . And although I did lose some of the implants, overall I’m very happy with the results . I have a lot more confidence and a lot more hair than I previously had . I’m very grateful and thankful

Frank

I want to take the time to thank Dr Doshi and his team for my excellent experience with Maxim hair restoration. Prior to this procedure I spent countless hours researching the restoration process and different clinics. However, I was very impressed with Dr Doshi’s extensive experience, background and also with the cost effective transplant options at Maxim. I was also impressed with the medical manager Raven who took the time to help me understand the process and what to expect. As a result I decided to go with Maxim. On the day of the transplant I felt even more confident after meeting Madlena and the entire team. The staff was very accommodating and professional. The procedure latest several hours and although it happened only about a week ago, I was satisfied with the overall experience. I will provide an update in a few months when the results start to come in. Thanks again to the Maxim team.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Still Have Questions? Message us [email protected]

How much experience does Mark Boles, MD, have in hair transplantation?

Dr. Boles has been working in hair restoration for many years and has performed a very large number of procedures over the course of his career. His experience covers both FUT and FUE, as well as non-surgical and adjunctive treatments that support long-term hair health. He has treated a wide variety of patterns and causes of hair loss, from common male-pattern thinning to more complex cases involving scarring, previous transplants, or medical conditions.

This depth of experience allows him to quickly recognize patterns, anticipate challenges, and tailor techniques to each patient’s needs. Patients often find it reassuring to work with a doctor who has encountered many different types of cases and has spent decades refining his approach. Whether you are taking your first step toward hair restoration or seeking a second opinion after a prior procedure, his background gives you access to a wealth of practical knowledge and surgical insight.

What kinds of hair loss can Dr. Boles help with?

Dr. Boles treats a broad range of hair loss presentations. These include traditional male-pattern baldness, diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, temple recession, crown thinning, and hairline recession in both men and women. He also has experience with ethnic hair loss, where curl pattern and follicle shape require specialized handling, as well as cases where hair loss follows surgery, trauma, or inflammatory scalp disorders that have been stabilized.

In addition, he works with transgender patients seeking to align their hairline with their gender identity, and with individuals who have undergone previous hair transplants but are unhappy with the density, direction, or scarring. For each scenario, he evaluates the donor area, current level of hair loss, and the likely progression over time. Based on that evaluation, he recommends a plan that may include FUT, FUE, hybrid strategies, or non-surgical support to achieve the most natural and durable result.

How does Dr. Boles decide between FUE and FUT for a particular patient?

The choice between FUE and FUT depends on several factors: the extent of hair loss, donor hair quality, hairstyle preferences, scarring concerns, and long-term planning. FUE is often recommended for patients who wish to avoid a linear scar and prefer to keep their hair relatively short. FUT can be more efficient for patients who need a large number of grafts to restore significant areas of thinning, particularly in the crown or mid-scalp.

During your consultation, Dr. Boles will examine your donor density, scalp flexibility, and hair characteristics. He will ask about your styling preferences and long-term goals. He then explains the benefits and trade-offs of each method in clear, straightforward terms. In some cases, he may suggest a hybrid approach that uses both FUT and FUE, either in the same session or across staged procedures, to balance coverage, density, and donor preservation over time.

Does Dr. Boles perform transgender hair restoration and hairline reshaping?

Yes. Dr. Boles has experience working with transgender patients who seek hairlines that better reflect their gender identity. In hairline feminization, the goal may be to soften and round the hairline, reduce temple recession, and create a more delicate frame for the face. In hairline masculinization, the aim may be to strengthen the corners, add density, and create a more traditionally masculine pattern.

These cases require a careful understanding of both facial aesthetics and the unique emotional aspects of gender-affirming care. Dr. Boles takes time to discuss what “ideal” looks like for each patient, reviews reference images if helpful, and designs a plan that respects both the individual’s goals and the realities of their donor supply and hair characteristics. He understands that this type of restoration can be deeply meaningful and treats each case with sensitivity and respect.

Is Dr. Boles a good choice for ethnic or curly hair FUE?

Dr. Boles has substantial experience treating patients with curly, coily, and wavy hair patterns, including African American and mixed-ethnicity hair types. These follicles often curve under the skin, making extraction more challenging for surgeons who are not familiar with the nuances of textured hair. When working with such hair types, he uses tools and techniques designed to follow the natural curvature of the follicle, such as the WAW FUE system.

This attention to technique helps reduce the risk of transecting follicles and supports strong graft survival. During consultation, he will assess your hair type and discuss which methods are most appropriate. Many patients with textured hair choose him specifically because of his experience and because they want a physician who understands both the technical and aesthetic requirements of ethnic hair restoration.

What can I expect on the day of my hair transplant with Dr. Boles?

On the day of your procedure, you will arrive at the maxim hair restoration clinic in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh and be greeted by the clinical team. Dr. Boles will review the plan with you, refine the hairline design if needed, and answer any final questions. Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the experience as long but very manageable, with breaks provided as needed.

If FUT is being performed, a donor strip will be carefully removed and the area will be closed with fine sutures or staples. If FUE is chosen, follicular units will be extracted individually from the donor region. After harvesting, Dr. Boles will create recipient sites according to the planned design, paying close attention to angle, direction, and density. Grafts are then placed by the team under his guidance. At the end of the day, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions and contact information for follow-up questions.

How long does it take to see results after a hair transplant with Dr. Boles?

Hair transplant results develop gradually. In the first few days after the procedure, you may see small scabs and some mild swelling, which typically resolve within a week to ten days. The transplanted hairs usually shed within the first month, which can feel surprising but is a normal part of the process. The follicles then enter a resting phase before beginning to grow new hair.

Most patients start to see early new growth around three to four months. From that point forward, the hair gradually thickens and matures. By six to nine months, the change is usually very noticeable, and by twelve months, the full result is typically visible. Some patients continue to see subtle improvements beyond the one-year mark as the hair continues to mature. Throughout this period, Dr. Boles and the team are available for follow-up visits to monitor progress and address any questions or concerns.

Does Dr. Boles offer non-surgical options if I am not ready for a transplant yet?

Yes. Not every patient is ready for surgery, and not everyone needs a transplant right away. Dr. Boles can recommend non-surgical strategies tailored to your stage of hair loss and overall health. These might include topical or oral medications, laser devices, PRP-style or regenerative injections, cellular micrografting, nutritional optimization, or other supportive measures.

He will discuss which options are likely to be most effective for your specific type of hair loss and how to integrate them into a long-term plan. In some cases, non-surgical therapies are used to stabilize active shedding before surgery. In others, they are used as stand-alone treatment for early-stage thinning or as ongoing maintenance after a transplant. The goal is always to protect your existing hair and make sure any intervention fits realistically into your lifestyle.

How does Dr. Boles handle corrective or repair cases from previous hair transplants?

Corrective cases require a careful and experienced approach. Patients may come to Dr. Boles because they are unhappy with the shape of their hairline, the direction of growth, the density achieved, or the visibility of scars from previous procedures. In these situations, he begins by evaluating what was done before, what donor reserves are still available, and what the realistic options are for improvement.

Possible strategies may include adding density in key areas, softening or redesigning an unnatural hairline, performing FUE to camouflage scars, or combining surgery with non-surgical therapies to stabilize further loss. He explains the limitations honestly, as repair cases must be approached with respect for donor safety and long-term scalp health. Many patients find that even partial correction can significantly improve their appearance and confidence, especially when guided by a physician who has worked on many similar cases.

Who should consider scheduling a consultation with Mark Boles, MD?

Anyone who is concerned about thinning hair, receding hairlines, balding areas, or previous unsatisfying hair procedures can benefit from a consultation with Dr. Boles. This includes men and women at early, moderate, or advanced stages of hair loss, as well as individuals seeking beard or eyebrow enhancement, transgender hair restoration, or corrective work. Even if you are unsure whether you are ready for treatment, a consultation can provide clarity and give you a sense of what is possible.

During your visit, you will receive a personalized assessment and honest feedback about your options, both surgical and non-surgical. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions about recovery, long-term maintenance, and what kind of transformation you can realistically expect. Many patients say that simply understanding their situation and having a clear plan helps them feel more in control, even before any treatment takes place.
