From Tears to Terrific Innovative Hair Restoration Tools that Transform Women’s Hair Loss

by Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS

Women’s hair has long been the subject of numerous poems written by lovesick admirers who’ve, well, waxed poetic about the beauty of a woman’s hair. Let’s face it. Nothing conveys good health more than thick, shiny tresses.

To commemorate National Women’s Health Month in May, I asked the artificial intelligence ChatGPT robot to write a poem about a woman who comes to see me because she’s concerned about hair loss. Here’s what it created:

She looked in the mirror with tears in her eyes.
Her once luscious locks were thinning in size.
Gloom filled her heart, and she felt much despair.
The hair she so cherished was no longer there.

She searched for solutions and finally found,
The good Dr. Bauman, who turned it around.
He knew what to do and just what she needed.
In no time at all, he’d superbly succeeded.

Slowly but surely, her hair grew and shone.
Her follicles sprouting as fast as a clone.
Now, she stands in the mirror, her heart full of glee.
Her hair full and vibrant, as it once used to be.

OK, it’s a far cry from the words of Lord Byron extolling the loveliness of a woman’s hair in his poem She Walks in Beauty, published in 1815. However, it was a fun way to share what I hope is the experience of every woman I see when She Walks in Our Doors seeking a solution for her hair loss.
It’s not uncommon for women to experience hair loss. Did you know that between 40-50 million American women have it, but it’s often less obvious than it is to men. Most women have lost at least 50 percent of their hair before they realize it!

Factors contributing to hair loss include stress, hormones, heredity, certain medications, nutritional issues, and age.

Women will consult with their hairdressers about their hair loss, but there’s not much most hairdressers can do but adjust the style or recommend products to help their hair look thicker.

What many women don’t realize (and sometimes their hairdressers don’t either) is that there’s a multitude of truly astonishing options today to help women restore the hair they once had.

And Bauman Medical has them all.

In fact, Bauman Medical is at the forefront of the latest in hair restoration technology and medicine. And just as important to know…

…Hair restoration isn’t a sideline for us. It’s all we do.

Below is a mere fraction of the vast banquet of services we offer, ranging from products to procedures to services. Once we’ve had a consultation with you, we can help you choose the specific route that we know will give you the best results possible.

Home Use 82M Minoxidil
Our proprietary Formula 82M prescription minoxidil is designed for hair loss patients who experienced scalp and hair side effects from over-the-counter products or want a more powerful topical hair growth treatment they can use at home. If you’ve tried over-the-counter minoxidil 2% or 5% solutions, foam, a generic-brand (e.g., Kirkland) or Rogaine and found them greasy or gooey, try 82M!.

Low-Level Laser Light Therapy
A popular option for people with thinning hair are our low-level laser light caps (we have five models). Bauman’s LaserCaps™ are drug-free, chemical-free, non-invasive, FDA-cleared, and can be used at home on your schedule. Proper and consistent use of medical-grade low-level laser light therapy has been scientifically proven to improve hair quality, strength, and thickness, as well as promoting hair regrowth.

Our newest and most high-tech LaserCap, the Bauman TURBO LaserCap™, is especially popular. Here’s why:
Usage requires just five minutes per day.
Its >300 high-quality laser diodes deliver more energy and power to 25% more area of the scalp than any other portable hands-free laser hair regrowth device on the market.
It’s easy to travel with. Its flexible spine lets you fold it flat.
It has a long battery life, requiring fewer recharges.
It’s adjustable for a perfect fit for you and someone else you’d like to share it with.
It has a lifetime warranty.

In-Office Procedures
Some situations require in-person visits to get your hair follicles in tip-top shape. (It’s not unusual for patients to fly in from long distances specifically to see us). Below are some of our most popular procedures.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is comfortable and takes only about an hour. It requires no recovery or downtime.

Platelets and plasma are separated from other components of a small sample of your blood, then concentrated and painlessly applied into your 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.

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. They safely stimulate collagen production, new blood vessel formation, and the release of powerful rejuvenating growth factors.

The PDOgroTM procedure may help prevent or reduce the need for future hair transplantation by stopping, slowing, or reversing hair loss.

In-Office Services
Scientific Scalp Makeover* (AKA: Hair Grows While You Doze treatment)
The Scientific Scalp Makeover is a patient favorite – an ultimate pampering experience with a bonus for your hair and scalp.

I created our SalonB Trichology Lab to help patients maximize their scalp health and to offer them a relaxing spa experience aimed at reducing stress. It’s so relaxing, in fact, that many people fall asleep!

SalonB is equipped with low lighting and soft music, just like a regular spa. It’s your chance to relax, rewind, get pampered, get treated and indulge yourself. It consists of a 90-minute-to-three-hour session during which you’re treated to a variety of soothing services, including:

Aromatherapy
A customized scalp mask treatment for optimum scalp health and hair beauty
A deep scalp massage to stimulate and purify the scalp and increase circulation
Deep cleansing shampoo
Hydrodermabrasion/Exfoliation Treatment
A customized conditioner or hair mask

While the makeover is particularly geared toward helping reverse hair loss in people with stress-related conditions, many people without scalp issues come regularly to enjoy some self-indulgence and shut out the rest of the world for a while.

*(One of many too numerous to list here).
