Giving Thanks to Hair Restoration Advancements at Bauman Medical
Before we can carve into the turkey and crack open the cranberry sauce, we, of course, need to take a moment to talk about what we’re thankful for. From friends and family to health and prosperity, November is the perfect reminder to appreciate all we have. Along with these staples of life, there’s one more thing I’m thankful for — the advancements in hair restoration.
While not everyone’s mind jumps to hair care before Thanksgiving dinner, I can’t help but feel grateful for the progress that the Bauman Medical team continues to make in curbing hair loss. The idea of a thinned-out crown and receding hairline is slowly becoming an issue of the past, and we’re not stopping anytime soon.
Having worked with many cases of hair loss, I know how thankful patients are to have a healthy, luscious scalp, especially as the winter months approach. Let’s leave that wool cap at home and let a flowing mane keep you warm.
With how far we’ve come since the days of pluggy hair transplants, it feels only right to give a few of our treatment options at Bauman Medical a proper thank-you for the impact they’ve had on patients. This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for:
FoLix
Our latest advancement, courtesy of the brilliant minds at Lumenis, FoLix, is a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared fractional laser treatment specifically designed to stimulate hair growth. While fresh on the scene, FoLix is quickly becoming a de facto choice for non-invasive non-chemical therapies targeted at middle-aged men and women experiencing mid-stage hair thinning.
A non-ablative laser, FoLix creates these microscopic thermal zones on your scalp that spark your body’s natural regenerative process. As a result, your dormant hair follicles are stimulated, leading to thicker and healthier hair growth. You hear lasers and think intense heat, but FoLix is applied gently with a specific cooling handpiece, allowing us to target the follicle-rich areas without damaging other portions of your scalp.
Don’t let a thinned-out crown or noticeable scalp get you down. FoLix is the perfect option for those looking to combat hair loss without the potential drawbacks of other treatments. Whether that be invasive procedures or side effects from medication, FoLix is a safe treatment option that we all should be thankful for.
But FoLix is far from the only option that offers patients all the pros without the cons. We still have plenty to be thankful for here at Bauman Medical, such as these hair restoration staples.
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy Caps
If you want the benefits of FoLix without leaving the house, the award-winning Bauman Turbo LaserCap® is right for you. FDA-cleared, drug-free, chemical-free, side-effect-free, and non-invasive, the Turbo LaserCap requires only 5 minutes of daily use for a lifetime of results. You can throw it on while preparing the turkey or watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade for a treatment plan determined by you.
TED w/Exosomes
A trending buzzword in medicine, exosomes are becoming an integral part of regenerative hair restoration. But just how exactly do they work? Think about it like this. You have family all across the globe. Your parents are right down the street, and your cousins are on the West Coast. Yet, no matter how far you are from each other, you still find a way to communicate who’s bringing what to Thanksgiving dinner.
Cells are located throughout our bodies, near and far. Yet, they’re still able to communicate with one another. If we use phones to chat with relatives, our cells rely on exosomes to talk with one another, no matter where they are in the body. Exosomes contain nucleic acids, growth factors, and other proteins that are integral when it comes to hair restoration.
When we pair this with our TED TransEpidermal Delivery device, the exosomes get pushed through the skin in a comfortable, no-needle process. This aids in increased blood flow, stronger hair fibers, decreased shedding, and stimulated hair follicles, the results are bountiful. All done in a non-invasive procedure via sound waves and air pressure, you’ll be thanking yourself for making the time for TED with Exosomes.
FUE Follicular Unit Extraction
While avoiding transplants is our goal, sometimes the best solution is to go back to basics. While the term “hair transplant” might send a shiver down your spine, Bauman Medical has made tremendous strides in a field once considered taboo. Gone are the days of painful, noticeable procedures; in their place are options like our clinic staple, natural and no-linear-scar FUE (follicular unit extraction).
What makes a procedure like FUE something to be thankful for is that it’s catered to your needs. Hair loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all issue. So why should our solutions be the same? With FUE, we offer patients a variety of options that eliminate the outdated, invasive strip-harvesting method.
Now, our team at Bauman Medical harvests individual hair follicles directly from the scalp with the help of our robotics and specialized mechanical instruments. If you’re going to opt for a direct procedure, why not choose one that offers immense benefits without any pain or linear scar?
VIP|FUE™
While we believe all our patients deserve to be treated like VIPs, there’s only one VIP|FUETM procedure. We’re thankful to take an already established treatment and further develop it into an undetectable hair transplant. That means no shaving, no trimming, and no staples or stitches. Like a kitchen cleaned after Thanksgiving dinner, it’s like our team wasn’t even there.
TrichoTest
Wouldn’t it be nice to know how you’re likely to respond to one treatment or another? A great option is TrichoTest, a genetic test with a simple quick cheek swab analysis that provides us with a look at your metabolic pathways related to hair loss and treatments. These pathways are thoroughly examined, providing us with insights into the factors influencing your hair loss and how you’ll respond to your specific treatment plan. Combined with our expertise and sophisticated customized therapies, our team will be able to find the perfect course for your hair restoration journey.
HairMetrix
I’m sure the topic of AI will be present at Thanksgiving dinner this year. With the rise of artificial intelligence, it makes sense for Bauman Medical to stay up to date and leverage this technology to improve our diagnostic evaluations and tracking. The result of this is HairMetrix, which uses an advanced AI-powered algorithm to analyze microscopic scalp photos to provide precise data on hair quality and quantity. Thanks to HairMetrix, our team can confirm the diagnosis and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Along the way, we’ll monitor how your scalp responds to treatment, allowing us to adapt when needed to achieve the best possible results.
HairCheck
While it’s one thing to check your hair in the mirror before guests arrive, it’s quite another to use our HairCheck device. With this tool, we can determine our patients’ exact hair volume more quickly and efficiently than ever before. The importance of these standardized noninvasive hair bundle measurements cannot be thanked enough, as they provide our experts with comparisons between affected areas and more permanent zones. Hair restoration takes time, which makes HairCheck an effective way to see how your treatment is working across your scalp well before results begin to show.

While the many treatment plans and diagnostic tools offered at Bauman Medical are integral to helping with hair loss, they would be just tools without the fantastic team at our clinic.
