Say goodbye to the heavy downpours of April and say hello to the flourishing flowers of May! What I love about May is seeing those beautiful blossoms added to vibrant bouquets for the most influential women in our lives — our mothers. Being a mom is far from easy as they serve as the figurehead that helps shape our lives. I wouldn’t be in my position without my mother’s support. And no matter how strong they are, moms go through their struggles, often putting them on the back burner to support their children.
As someone who has dedicated their career to hair, I’ve witnessed the emotional toll of women’s hair loss. Beyond the traditional gifts, there’s a struggle that’s not just about appearance but about identity and self-worth. Losing something so integral to their femininity and confidence can be incredibly challenging. May is a time to honor these women, but it’s also an opportunity to challenge the stigma around this issue, offering empathy and support.
Let’s call a spade a spade — hair loss in women is more common than you think. Just how common? Oh, just about 40 to 50 million women in America experience it; nearly a third of the population and half over the age of 50 experience some hair thinning. No matter how thorough you are with your hair care, factors like stress, genetics, heredity, medications, age, and others don’t care. They’ll find a way to remove potentially 50% of your hair without you even realizing it.
While you can try a new hairstyle, buy extensions, or even dye your hair, nothing quite feels like your natural flow. At Bauman Medical, we don’t offer any of that. Instead, we’re a practice at the forefront of hair restoration, delivering practical solutions for all to return to the head of hair they once had, instilling that sense of confidence you once had.
It’s time to step away from the usual gifts and consider something truly unique. For all the significant others and children out there, instead of the typical presents, why not choose a gift that’s both practical and meaningful? Bauman Medical offers a range of unique solutions that can make this Mother’s Day a truly unforgettable one, showing your mom just how much she means to you.
Let’s dive into some of my most popular services & products among women here at Bauman Medical:
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy:
Give your mom the gift of hair restoration without her having to leave the comfort of her home. Our low-level laser light caps are a favorite among those with thinning hair. Scientifically proven to improve the overall quality, strength, and thickness of hair, they also promote hair regrowth. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, showing your mom that you care about her long-term well-being.
My personal suggestion is our latest and most advanced LaserCap, the Award-Winning Bauman TURBO LaserCap™, our drug-free, chemical-free, non-invasive, and FDA-cleared cap. What makes the TURBO the most advanced LaserCap on the market today for at-home use?
We don’t call it the TURBO for nothing: all it requires is five minutes daily to see exceptional results.
The TURBO cap features over 300 high-quality laser diodes that deliver more energy and power to 25% more scalp area than other caps on the market.
You can take it wherever you please! With flexible spines, it’s collapsible for travel so you don’t have to feel limited to using it in one place.
With a longer battery life, say goodbye to extra charging sessions and more personal usage.
It’s adjustable, so your mom, dad, or even you can find the perfect fit for optimal hair growth.
We offer a lifetime warranty with it.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
With PRP, all it takes is an hour of your day to start turning back the clock. With no recovery or potential risks, our experts will draw a small sample of your blood to harness the platelets found within. We then will take said platelets, which have now been separated from the blood and concentrated, and inject them back into your scalp. These are where the delicate hair follicles are. You might be thinking, “This sounds painful.” Quite the opposite, actually, as we apply local anesthesia to make the process quick and painless. And as much as we’d love to see you again soon, all it takes is one PRP treatment to see astounding results that last a year or more.
Scientific Scalp Makeover
Instead of a spa day at your local resort, why not take your mom to Bauman Medical for relaxation and results? With our soothing SalonB Head Spa, our Scientific Scalp Makeovers are great options for women dealing with stress-induced hair loss. Take a deep breath and relax as you enter our low-light room and be serenaded by a dreamy melody. With therapeutic aromatherapy, customized scalp masks, deep scalp massages, and a thorough cleaning with our shampoo and conditioner, a scalp makeover will have you and your hair feeling breezy.
Just how good are our makeovers? I’ve seen plenty of people stop in to enjoy some well-deserved R&R without any scalp issues. If you enjoy a good facial, you’ll love a Scalp Makeover!
Soothe Shampoo & Conditioner
It’s time to throw out that bottle of Head & Shoulders. Treat mom right this year by looking into my Soothe Shampoo and conditioner kit. If she’s dealing with an irritated or dry scalp, my CBD oil-infused cleansers will make for a terrific gift for mom this year. Coupled with the light-reflecting properties of the porcelain flower, her hair will feel as hydrated as ever.
Soothe can be used as an everyday combo, reducing scalp sensitivity in no time. With its anti-inflammatory and deep moisturizing properties, the Soothe duo will serve as the perfect remedy for an angry and arid scalp. Along with CBD, I’ve also added things like Procapil to reduce DHT levels and increase blood flow, ceramides so moisture stays in the fibers, and 12 other essential oils for all the soothing and anti-inflammatory needs mom’s scalp has.
The BUILDER Multi-Collagen Complex
When it comes to The Builder, I like to view it as your hair’s own protein powder. With three proprietary ingredients — Fortigel, Fortibone, and Verisol — this trio serves as a way to deliver essential proteins to your hair that increase natural collagen levels. Collagen, in turn, gives your hair a boost in production and follicle strength while also restoring that once-bright shin.
I can assume you’ve heard of collagen before, whether that be in the form of other supplements or consumable powders. On a more definitive scale, collagen is actually the most rich protein in our bodies. This is the reason why our connective tissues are, well, connected. You can thank collagen for your tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, and, of course, hair. To put it into a numerical perspective, 30% of our body’s total protein is collagen.
Hair health will improve, and you can also expect to see increased bone density, skin elasticity, and muscle strength, as well as more support to the cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, the impacts of The Builder will take time. Most users noticed these benefits within three to six months of daily use. I highly recommend continuing beyond that time frame for even better results.
