There’s something I especially love about spring in South Florida – it’s the time of year when I see flowers poking their colorful heads out of the soil around homes and office buildings everywhere I look.
It’s a sign that Mother Nature is joyfully celebrating her move into Florida’s new season of mild temps and sunny days, with color splashes from geraniums, begonias, impatiens, snapdragons, and more.
Behind most of these spring flower masterpieces are gardeners who’ve carefully planted and tended their plants with a passion for beauty and perfection.
And that brings me to why I’m waxing poetic here.
Those gardeners and I have a lot in common: We appreciate and understand growing cycles. We’ve learned a lot about how to get the most from our labors, and we have special tools and techniques to harness all the potential for excellence that nature, experience, and technology offers.
As every gardener knows, you need to start with a good foundation. Then add nutrients to maintain a healthy growing environment. You have to take action to mitigate problems before they get bigger and, in the worst case, you have to re-plant.
See where I’m going? We’re the master gardeners of hair restoration, and below are a few of the ways we’ll help you celebrate the spring growing season our way.
A good foundation
Just like good soil is crucial for healthy plant growth, an optimized scalp is the key to robust hair growth. That’s where our Scientific Scalp Makeover™ comes in, by getting your scalp in tip-top condition. It’s also a chance to relax and rewind with a therapeutic session in our “head-spa” room. We dim the lights and provide a variety of soothing treatments including:
Aromatherapy treatment
Customized scalp mask treatment
Deep scalp massage to stimulate and purify the scalp and increase circulation (good circulation promotes hair growth)
Deep cleansing shampoo
Customized conditioner or hair mask
These sessions are more than an indulgence. They’re a necessity for people whose hair isn’t growing like it used to by getting the scalp as healthy as possible.
Nutrients
Bauman Medical offers a superb line of 7 proprietary nutritional supplements for all types of concerns, designed to help with hair loss or thinning or for anyone simply seeking thicker-looking hair. (See sidebar for details).
Mitigating problems before they worsen
Here’s where our garden gets really robust. Most people don’t realize there are numerous options for hair restoration besides hair transplantation, and these options are how we help the majority of our patients, both male and female. There’s not enough room here to detail them all, but these are among the most popular:
TED (TransEpidermal Delivery)
This non-invasive hair growth treatment doesn’t use needles or anesthesia. It’s ideal for people who’ve avoided getting medical treatment for thinning hair because they’re averse to surgery or needles.
We apply a specialized topical hair growth serum of growth factors and peptides onto the treatment zones on the scalp and move the TED handpiece slowly over the scalp. It emits safe ultrasonic sound waves and air pressure to push it through the skin.
This process gently enhances the penetration of the serum into the scalp by temporarily increasing scalp permeability. At the same time, increased blood flow optimizes scalp health and stimulates hair follicles to produce thicker, stronger, healthier hair. This FDA-cleared Class 1 medical device is clinically proven to address shedding and improve hair growth and scalp health within minutes.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): This comfortable in-office procedure 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 blood components, concentrated, then painlessly applied into the scalp under local anesthesia where weak or at-risk hair follicles exist. Hair growth improvements can last a year or more from a single treatment.
PDOgro™: PDOgro™ employs threads of polydioxanone (PDO), a synthetic, absorbable FDA-cleared material. Used for decades in surgery, and more recently in aesthetic procedures to reverse the appearance of skin aging, the 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 rejuvenating growth factors.
Low-level laser therapy
(also known as red light therapy or photobiomodulation)
The medical grade Bauman TURBO LaserCap® is FDA-cleared for hair regrowth. This low-level laser device is portable, hands-free, cordless, rechargeable, and fast, requiring only five minutes of treatment daily for improved hair growth at home. It’s 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.
“Re-plant”
There are some hair loss situations that are simply too advanced for non-surgical solutions. We’ll let you know if that’s the case once we’ve had a consultation with you. If we go that direction, we’ll offer you state-of-the art options including Bauman Medical’s minimally invasive FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure. It’s comfortable and 100% natural looking (not your grandfather’s hair transplant).
