With Halloween right around the corner, I’m sure many of you are flocking to your local Halloween store to get ready for this year’s costume party. Whether dressing up as your favorite superhero or horror icon, nothing beats the fun of changing up your style for a night.
What’s not so fun? Having to change up your look for weeks at a time. No one will pay you any mind on Halloween. But a few weeks after? People start to notice. Being forced to switch up your style for an extended period of time is just one of the many fears surrounding hair transplants. No monster or ghost is as terrifying as the old-fashioned approach to hair restoration.
Not only is the old methodology just begging for unwanted attention, but there’s also the pain that comes with redefining your scalp. It doesn’t matter how tough you are — anytime you can avoid pain, the better. The urban legend surrounding hair transplants is one that could frighten even the bravest of souls while sharing scary stories around the fire.
Rest assured now that my team and I here at Bauman Medical can prove to you that these fears are purely hearsay in the modern realm of hair restoration. With our advancements in hair transplants, we provide results without the pain and spotlight of archaic methods of the past. With treatments like this, you’ll be enjoying all the treats without worrying about the tricks, feeling reassured and at ease.
FUE
Gone are the days of plugs that feel more suitable for Frankenstein’s monster. While these dominated the world of hair restoration in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, it’s a whole new ballgame in 2025. No pain and one-hundred percent natural, FUE speaks volumes to how far we’ve come, making you feel confident and satisfied with the results.
FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, improves upon the outdated and invasive method of strip harvesting and instead opts for harvesting individual hair follicles directly from the scalp: no scalpel, no stitches, just accurate and comfortable follicle gathering. Along the way, we couple the expert skills of our team with state-of-the-art procedures and specialized mechanical instruments to ensure a safe and efficient procedure.
Upon completion, patients will walk out of the clinic without carrying a linear scar, making it an effective option with little downtime and no pain. And before you go and book a flight out of the country to get a questionable procedure, keep in mind — Boca Raton is beautiful this time of year.
VIP|FUETM
When it comes to horror movies, the sequel to a classic is more often than not a disaster. When it comes to FUE, though, it’s quite the opposite. With the VIP|FUETM procedure, we take the already effective FUE harvesting method and make it even more discreet. With no need for any type of shaving or trimming, it’ll be like we weren’t even operating on your scalp.
While modern hair transplants are nothing to fear, that doesn’t mean it’s the only solution for hair loss. At Bauman Medical, we believe in taking proactive measures to ensure that a transplant is a last resort. From at-home products like FDA-cleared hair growth shampoos and conditioners to in-house procedures such as Low-Level Laser Therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments, we have the tools to turn back the clock.
Low-Level Laser Light Therapy Caps
This fall, you can leave the baseball cap at home by opting for my trademarked Bauman TURBO LaserCap®. Instead of spending a whole day out of the house hiding your hair away, why not spend a few minutes in the comfort of your own abode, revitalizing your scalp? FDA-cleared, drug-free, chemical-free, side-effect-free, and non-invasive, the TURBO LaserCap® will have your hair looking like the star of the show at your next Halloween party.
PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma
While Dracula might want your blood for hunger, we use your blood to help you. Yes, with PRP, you can help us achieve your hair restoration goals. By drawing a small blood sample, we’re able to isolate the platelets found from within. After this, we concentrate these platelets to inject them into your scalp. Thanks to you, our team is able to invigorate the scalp for hair growth. And don’t worry, we don’t bite. But even if we did, PRP is painlessly injected while under local anesthesia—an hour’s time for a year’s gain or more.
PDOgro™
Coming to a theater near you is the exciting sequel to the acclaimed PRP procedure — PDOgroTM. In this venture, the best of PRP remains, complemented by Bauman Medical’s delicate and absorbable polydioxanone threads. A pairing sure to be loved by audiences, this combination sparks a variety of scalp functions that are essential to hair regrowth. FDA-cleared, these threads activate your endogenous collagen production, elastin, hyaluronic acid, new blood vessel formation, and fibroblast activity. Completed in our secure outpatient procedure, PDOgroTM is the perfect option for those seeking effective hair regrowth without worrying about recovery or aftercare.
TED
Speaking of no recovery, our TransEpidermal Delivery is another state-of-the-art procedure coupling non-invasive techniques with effective hair growth. TED is a way of administering a hair growth serum to penetrate your scalp. This serum contains all the essential components for a healthy scalp, such as amino acids, influential growth factors, and advanced peptides. All of these combined lead to increased blood flow, stronger hair fibers, decreased shedding, and stimulated hair follicles. In turn, you’ve got the perfect concoction for a robust scalp and robust hair.
TED w/Exosomes
Just like how we text friends and family about plans for Halloween and fall, the exosomes in our bodies also communicate near and far. While they don’t talk about what they have going on this weekend, exosomes do allow information sharing across the body for cells.
See, this is important because exosomes contain nucleic acids, growth factors, and other proteins that are integral for overall rejuvenation and repair. By combining your exosomes with our already established TED procedure, your journey through the realm of hair growth will be expedited.
