Springing Into Fuller Hair

Restore Growth with the Season at Bauman Medical

by Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS

Now that the snowbirds soon begin to flock back up north, we can finally start to see a return to our warm spring days in South Florida. With the change in seasons imminent, I know myself and others are looking forward to springing into longer days. As the clocks move forward, March is the perfect time for your hair to spring forward, too.

When I think of spring, my mind immediately jumps to the blossoming of flowers. And with hair always on my mind, I can’t help but liken a fully blooming garden to that of a flowing mane. After all, you can’t flourish without a proper foundation and nutrients.

Think of your scalp like the soil in which you would plant some stunning hibiscus flowers. In order to reach full bloom, you need well-maintained quality soil; otherwise, they’ll begin to shrivel. Here at Bauman Medical, our treatments and procedures aim to cultivate your scalp for hair follicles that blossom stronger than ever. Give your scalp the TLC it deserves, and you’ll reap the benefits.

While tiling the soil is essential, sometimes you have to go above and beyond for better results. Adding proper nutrients strengthens the soil, leading to increased plant growth. In the case of hair, Bauman Medical offers a line of nutrient-packed supplements that tackle an array of concerns. For more information on these products, see the sidebar.

Before you can get planting, you have to make sure you have the correct tools for the job. So, instead of visiting your local hardware store, stop into our clinic at Bauman Medical for the following treatments:

Trichological Evaluation
It’s always good to consult the experts for what tools are best for your next project. Bauman Medical’s fantastic in-house certified trichologist and HairCoach™ Kimberly Jenkins, WTS, CHC will guide you to a bountiful harvest. In this comprehensive evaluation, Kimberly will probe your scalp to address every aspect of scalp health. This includes examining your pH balance, hydration status, sebum production, and scalp elasticity. After this, you’ll have a better course of action for which treatments will work best for the future of your scalp. Along with close-up images and lifestyle details, Kimberly will craft a specific plan just for you, earning her the title of “The Scalp Whisperer.” The benefits of this evaluation are not just immediate, but long-term, as it sets the foundation for successful hair restoration.

PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma
When tending to your soil, it’s vital to avoid overtiling. Sometimes, less is better. That’s also the case for our fan-favorite PRP treatment. This minimally invasive procedure starts with us taking a small blood sample and isolating the platelets within using our advanced technology. We then concentrate them to utilize the growth factors found within, which are then applied back to your scalp to help promote natural hair growth. In about an hour of time, you’ll have a properly cultivated scalp ready to start growing. We take every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety during this procedure, from topical anesthesia, to the sterile environment, to the expertise of our medical staff.

PDOgroTM
While certain gardening techniques never go out of style, there’s nothing wrong with trying to improve upon the tried and true. PRP remains a staple at Bauman Medical, but whenever we can, we’re attempting to further even the best of our procedures—case in point: our PDOgroTM procedure. Think of PDOgroTM as the compost you add to your garden that further enriches your plants. By combining PRP with our special polydioxanone threads, an incredibly delicate and absorbable material, you’ll be stimulating various essential scalp functions when it comes to growing your hair back. This FDA-cleared synthetic absorbable material cultivates your endogenous collagen production, elastin, hyaluronic acid, new blood vessel formation, and fibroblast activity. All of this leads to a bloom of hair like you’ve never seen. With over a year or more of hair regrowth, your garden will be jealous of the year-round blossoming your scalp will experience. And the best part? PDOgroTM is performed through our safe and serene outpatient procedure, with Bauman Medical being with you every step of the way, regardless of your progress.

TED TransEpidermal Delivery
Again, sometimes less is more. That’s especially the case with our TransEpidermal Delivery, or TED, as we like to refer to it. Save the significant hardware for the garden by opting for this revolutionary growth serum administer. Just like proper nutrients and compost are essential for flowers, the serum within TED is about as integral as it gets. Why, you might ask? It offers amino acids, dynamic growth factors, and advanced peptides that benefit the scalp. You’ll soon blossom thanks to increased blood flow, stronger hair fibers, decreased shedding and stimulated hair follicles. Non-invasive thanks in part to our ability to harness sound waves and air pressure, you can get all the comfort and impacts of a procedure without the poking and prodding, as TED requires no needles and no anesthesia.

Low-Level Laser Therapy
When dealing with the harsh Florida sun, you best be going outdoors donning a sun hat. And while you wait for your plants to grow, be sure to throw on the state-of-the-art Bauman TURBO LaserCap® to grow, too. Because why waste time when you can maximize hair regrowth with five minutes of daily use? FDA-cleared, drug-free, chemical-free, side-effect-free, and non-invasive, the LaserCap will continue the growth pattern when you step back inside this spring.

FUE Hair Transplants
When your plants begin to wither, and all options have been exhausted, sometimes you have to start fresh. At Bauman Medical, we can plant the seeds for growth come the next harvest. While hair transplants still carry a stigma of pluggy-looking, pain-riddled procedures, you can rest easy thanks to the advancements made by Bauman Medical with our comfortable and natural-looking FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant. It doesn’t matter what season we’re in; this crop is sure to grow.

We’ve come a long way from the traditional strip harvesting method, with the process starting with the harvesting of individual grafts. These can be as small as one hair follicle for massive results. Coupled with a quicker recovery process and additional comfort, you can tend to your garden upon leaving our clinic. But it doesn’t stop there, as the VIP|FUETM method furthers an already phenomenal treatment by skipping the trimming and shaving portion, making it seem like you didn’t even have a procedure to the public eye. It’s the most discreet hair transplant available today.
