Dr. Scott A. Boden

Scott Boden, MD leads the Hair Restoration Center of Connecticut in Wethersfield, performing one procedure per day and telling patients "you are the only focus."3 The clinic frames its approach around "ultra-refined hair transplantation techniques" toward a hairline it says is indistinguishable from the patient's own.1

The practice offers FUE and FUT (strip) transplantation, plus female, transgender, eyebrow and beard transplants, transplant repairs, and non-surgical options such as PRP and Alma TED.1 For FUT, the donor strip incision is closed with a trichophytic closure technique that the clinic says leaves a fine-line scar easily covered by surrounding hair, even when cut short.5 Grafts are dissected under a microscope, and Dr. Boden is credited for the "dense packing" placement of grafts close together.5 The clinic says its technicians are personally trained by Dr. Boden rather than contracted staff.2 FUE is positioned for patients wanting the option to shave their head afterward, with scars the clinic describes as under 1mm, and is described as best suited to a single small session or a few smaller sessions rather than large-scale correction.4

Pricing is structured by treatment area rather than strict graft count, which the clinic says allows flexibility since finer hair may need more follicles than coarse hair for equivalent coverage.3 FUT starts at $6,000 and rises with follicle count, while FUE, described as more time-intensive, starts at $10,000.3 The clinic states it adds no hidden charges beyond the quoted fee; medication, blood tests, anesthesia and facility fees are separate, and financing is offered.3

Consultations can be requested through an online form, where patients upload a photo of their hair loss and a representative then contacts them to schedule a time.6 The clinic states patients receive a firm price quotation during their consultation with Dr. Boden.3 Surgical side effects are described as generally mild, such as temporary swelling and redness, with bleeding, scarring or infection called rare.5

Dr. Boden is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS).2 The clinic states he also served as Past President of the ABHRS board and holds board certification in family medicine.2 The clinic states only about 200 surgeons worldwide hold ABHRS Diplomate status.7 He is a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, with an ISHRS-accredited fellowship and MD; no graduation years are published.2 The clinic's cost page states he is the only surgeon in New England recommended by the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons.3
