“It’s not you, it’s me.”
“Maybe we should take a break.”
“I need space.” “You deserve better.”
Break-ups, no matter how long you’re with someone, are never easy. I’m sure you’ve heard or said at least one of these once in your life. While my medical background doesn’t pertain to marriage counseling or couples therapy, I certainly know a thing or two about a break-up that can easily be avoided: the relationship between you and your hair.
Before you and your hair decide to start seeing other people, why not take a moment to address the underlying issues in your relationship? Not sure where to start? Our team at Bauman Medical has you covered. With February being the month of love, make your scalp this year’s Valentine. No need for a bundle of roses or a box of chocolates, however.
Bauman Medical will bring back that spark between you and your hair in no time. From proper diagnostic tools to state-of-the-art hair restoration procedures, here are just a few options to rekindle the love you once had for your hair.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
One way to make your hair feel like the light of your life once again is to give it the proper light needed for hair restoration. Embrace the warmth of my state-of-the-art Bauman TURBO LaserCap®! Bring the benefits of low-level laser therapy to the comfort of your home and treat yourself and your scalp to a nice, cozy evening. With only five minutes of daily use, you’ll start to notice the hair you fell in love with. FDA-cleared, drug-free, chemical-free, side-effect-free, and non-invasive, the TURBO LaserCap is a speedy way to get back to your relationship roots with, well, your roots!
FUE Hair Transplant
Sometimes in a relationship, one party has to work on themselves. In the case of your scalp, that once dreaded word is the best course of action. But hair transplants aren’t how they used to be. Gone are the days of pluggy-looking, painful procedures that leave you with a buzz cut and scars. Just like relationships grow and evolve, so do hair restoration strategies. This is especially true given the advancements made at Bauman Medical with our FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant.
What makes FUE different from the traditional FUT strip harvesting? The beauty of FUE is that a little goes a long way. The process begins with harvesting individual grafts from your scalp that can be as few as one hair follicle. Just like how we have that special someone, your scalp also has that special follicle that can produce impeccable results. Couple that with a faster recovery process and added comfort, and you’ll be falling back in love with your hair in no time!
But when it comes to that special someone, you always want to give more. Thankfully, you can treat your scalp with the care it deserves by opting for our VIP|FUETM. How can FUE get any better? Making your scalp feel like a VIP means skipping the trimming and shaving. That’s right, no buzz cut: it’s like you weren’t even here. No hair transplant comes close to the discretion and effectiveness of VIP|FUETM, making it the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to your scalp.
TED & Exosome Therapy
The key to a great relationship is communication. Just as it’s important for both parties to be on the same page, your body contains special cells called exosomes that also place heavy emphasis on communication. Whether exosomes are living together or are currently long-distance, they still find a way to communicate all across our bodies. So how do exosomes fit in with hair restoration? They contain key elements like nucleic acids, growth factors, and other proteins, which, when paired with our TransEpidermal Delivery (TED) procedure, we are able to increase scalp permeability and blood flow, both major factors in scalp health. Will this hurt? Far from it, as TED uses ultrasonic waves and air pressure to complement the Exosomes or topical hair growth serum we apply to the treatment zone.
PRP
It takes time to rekindle the relationship you once had with your hair. At least, that was the case prior to our PRP procedure, a staple at Bauman Medical for its efficacy in natural hair growth. All we need is an hour, and in return, we’ll give you back years of hair! PRP works by taking a small blood sample from you. We then isolate the platelets found within said sample with some assistance from our advanced technology. Once concentrated, our team can now tap into the platelets’ growth factors that are then applied to your hair for the aforementioned hair growth. Your scalp will recognize your efforts in making this work, giving you great results with next to no discomfort.
PDOgroTM
While I love our PRP and other procedures present at Bauman Medical, there’s one thing I love more: finding ways to improve them. Anytime we can make an advancement in our hair restoration solutions, it’s like falling back in love. And there’s no better example of furthering an already fantastic option than with our PDOgroTM procedure. If you love PRP, you’re going to want to hear this. A true power couple, PDOgroTM combines PRP with our special polydioxanone threads. These delicate and absorbable materials help stimulate an array of scalp functions — functions that are integral in substantial hair regrowth. This FDA-cleared synthetic absorbable material serves as a catalyst for your endogenous collagen production, elastin, hyaluronic acid, new blood vessel formation, and fibroblast activity. In Layman’s terms? Say hello to a year or more of blossoming hair regrowth through a safe and tranquil outpatient procedure. And no matter how far along you are, rest easy knowing that the Bauman Medical team will be there from start to finish.
