November: the month defined by turkey, pumpkin pie, and Black Friday shopping. But before we celebrate what we’re thankful for and wait in line for a new TV, the month begins with a month-long event — No Shave November.
Whether you sport a handlebar mustache or a nice pair of mutton chops, putting the razor down this month is a fantastic way to support a great cause and keep your face warm as the temperature continues to drop. At Bauman Medical, we want to treat No Shave November as a trend that continues well beyond the month, and I’m not talking about the hair on your face.
My team and I strive to provide clients suffering from various forms of hair loss with solutions and diagnostic tools that have them feeling truly thankful year-round. For those on the verge of picking up the razor and going for a buzz cut, hear me out. These tools and procedures may have you thinking otherwise.
FoLix
At Bauman Medical, we pride ourselves on keeping up with the times and furthering our regenerative and diagnostic tools. In teaming up with the brilliant minds at Lumenis, FoLix proves that we aren’t stopping anytime soon. The first and only FDA-cleared fractional laser treatment specifically designed to stimulate hair growth, this advancement is the perfect option for men and women looking for a non-invasive, non-chemical treatment option to combat mid-stage hair thinning.
As a non-ablative laser, FoLix allows us to create microscopic thermal zones on the scalp that activate the body’s natural regenerative process. By stimulating this, dormant hair follicles are also activated, which leads to improved hair growth in the longer run. I understand hearing the word laser being thrown around and imagining something hot. But in reality, FoLix is applied with a specific cooling handpiece that allows our team to target follicle-rich areas of the scalp, all while keeping patients comfortable.
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy Caps
After shaving your do, you may be in need of a wool cap to keep your scalp warm. Or, you could opt for my award-winning Bauman Turbo LaserCap® and harness the benefits of low-level laser light therapy from the comfort of your own home. All it takes is five minutes of daily use to produce results that you’ll truly be thankful for. FDA-cleared, drug-free, chemical-free, side-effect-free, and non-invasive, the Turbo LaserCap is the perfect way to get into the No Shave festivities for years to come.
TED w/Exosomes
Before you make any rash decisions about shaving, sometimes it’s best to communicate with someone. Whether it be a friend next door or a family member across the country, a quick chat may help you choose something like our TransEpidermal Delivery device with exosomes. See, exosomes are similar to our phones in that they allow our cells to chat with one another. What are they talking about? Probably about the immense benefits that exosomes offer the scalp, such as nucleic acids, growth factors, and other essential proteins.
When we couple exosomes with TED, we’re able to push them into the scalp, which increases blood flow, strengthens hair fibers, decreases shedding, and much more. Best part? No needle is needed. We utilize sound waves and air pressure to apply them, making for a non-invasive procedure that will have your hair and scalp looking and feeling rejuvenated.
FUE Follicular Unit Extraction
When you hear the words “hair transplant,” I can imagine your mind conjuring up some terrifying images. Pluggy-looking, painful procedures that stick out like a sore thumb. That was then. Now, it’s quite the opposite, especially when opting for Bauman Medical’s natural, no-linear-scar follicular unit extraction, or FUE, for short.
Back then, specialists would utilize the incredibly invasive strip-harvesting method. Now, Bauman Medical harvests individual hair follicles directly from the source, creating a procedure that is catered specifically to your needs. With the help of robotics and specialized mechanical instruments, our team provides surgical precision without making patients feel like it’s surgery. Best part of FUE? Quicker, less restricted, more comfortable recovery, and no linear scar, just results.
VIP|FUE™
Let’s take No Shave November to heart here. We want to treat our patients like the VIPs that they are. So, that’s why we offer an upgrade with our VIP|FUETM procedure. This is truly an undetectable procedure, meaning no shaving, no trimming, and no staples. Let’s get your scalp ready for No Shave November by skipping the razor and providing only hair growth.
TrichoTest
From a quick cheek swab to a detailed report of how you’ll respond to specific treatments, the TrichoTest is a perfect way to get an idea of what works best for you before making the big shave. By having access to your metabolic pathways related to hair loss, we can get an idea of the specific factors that are causing your specific case of hair loss, as well as predict the overall response to specific treatment plans. Now, you can make an informed decision that fits your needs entirely.
HairMetrix
Instead of asking ChatGPT about the benefits of shaving your head, let our AI give you the reasons why you shouldn’t. With HairMetrix, our advanced AI-powered algorithm analyzes microscopic photos of the scalp. This analysis provides my team with detailed data on the overall quality and quantity of hair. Now, we take this info to figure out the diagnosis before crafting a treatment plan that is catered to your scalp and your scalp only. And before you ask Chat how things are going, let our team monitor the response and adapt as needed.
HairCheck
After utilizing the HairCheck, I can imagine you’ll be wanting to check your hair more for all the right reasons. What makes HairCheck great is its ability to determine exact hair volume quicker and more efficiently than ever. This gives our team more info on the differences between affected areas and more permanent zones. So before shaving it all, find out which areas are more impacted than others and find the treatment plan that will have your scalp thriving.
