We Can Help – and That’s No Joke
By Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS
April’s known for pranks – a jokester pins a silly sign on your back or puts salt in your sugar bowl, with everyone in on the joke but you.
But let’s face it – if you’re ignoring or trying to hide thinning hair, you might be pulling the biggest prank of all this month on yourself – and that’s no laughing matter.
Thinning hair isn’t likely to reverse itself without professional intervention. And that bald spot sporting a combover? For many men, that hair’s not coming back on its own, no matter how much you want it to.
But you likely already knew that.
Fortunately, you have a “secret weapon” at your disposal – actually lots of secret weapons. Hair problems in April or in any of the other months of the year are no match for Bauman Medical, where helping your hair look better than you thought it ever could again is no joke.
We’re internationally famous for our hair transplants (more about those below), but there’s so much more we can do. No kidding.
If there’s a way to regenerate your hair, we offer it. Here are three of our most popular regenerative technologies:
Bauman TURBO LaserCap®
In just five minutes a day, you can achieve improved hair growth at home with our medical grade Bauman TURBO LaserCap® which provides low-level laser therapy (also known as red light therapy). It’s FDA-cleared, portable, hands-free, cordless and rechargeable. It’s also drug and chemical-free with no risk of side effects.
Proper and consistent use of medical-grade low-level laser therapy has been scientifically proven to improve hair quality, strength, and thickness, as well as promote hair regrowth.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is a comfortable in-office procedure that takes about an hour with no recovery time, downtime, or significant risk. Derived from a small blood sample, platelets and plasma are separated from other components of the blood, concentrated, and then painlessly applied into the scalp under local anesthesia where weak hair follicles exist. When performed using the appropriate concentration of platelets and proper application techniques, you can expect hair growth improvements that last a year or more from a single treatment.
PDOgro™
Researched and developed right here at Bauman Medical, we were the first hair restoration clinic in the U.S. to use PDO threads to enhance hair growth. PDO, or polydioxanone, is a synthetic absorbable FDA-cleared material. Used for decades in surgery, and more recently in aesthetic procedures to reverse the appearance of skin aging, PDO threads placed into the scalp have been shown to stimulate hair regrowth. Typically performed in combination with PRP in a no-downtime “lunch-break” procedure, the threads are comfortably applied into the scalp. They dissolve and are absorbed over time, safely stimulating collagen production, new blood vessel formation, and a release of powerful rejuvenating growth factors.
FUE Hair Transplants
Some people’s hair loss is too advanced for our regenerative approaches. Your hairline may be receded, your crown just too thin, or your hair follicles severely depleted or gone.
No time to fool around.
It’s time to harness the power of the transplant.
Luckily, hair transplant procedures have become more effective, comfortable, and 100% natural-looking in recent years due to major innovations in techniques and technology. The latest type is known as FUE (follicular unit extraction).
FUE hair transplantation allows for the harvesting of follicles without leaving behind a telltale linear scar and with the added benefits of a shorter, less restricted, and more comfortable recovery. Results are natural looking, not like the old-fashioned “plugs” that your father or grandfather may have had decades ago.
Bauman Medical employs several types of FUE depending on your particular need or situation. Among our most popular FUE procedures is the “No-Shave Long-Hair Preview” VIP/FUE™.
This breakthrough minimally invasive hair transplant procedure offers patients all the advantages of traditional FUE, including no staples, no stitches and no-linear-scar, and a more comfortable and less restricted downtime compared to outdated invasive linear FUT “strip” harvesting.
What makes it different? It’s the only transplant procedure not requiring any trimming or shaving of the donor area. That means no dramatic change in your hairstyle after the procedure (such as looking like you had a buzzcut), making it totally discreet. It includes the unique benefit of the “long hair preview,” which allows you to see the results of your transplant immediately after your procedure – making it the ultimate experience in minimally-invasive hair transplantation.

We take your situation very seriously, but it doesn’t mean we won’t try as hard as we can to fool other people into thinking that the hair we help you grow is completely natural.
