Scientists' 'vampire treatment' for baldness - Bauman Medical Group

The research, published in the latest edition of the British Journal of Dermatology, was conducted among a group of people suffering from alopecia areata, which affects about 2 per cent of the population.

However, the scientists believe it could also help those suffering more common varieties, such as male-pattern baldness. Dr Fabio Rinaldi said: “We think it can help to regrow hair on people with androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness). We believe it is the best treatment available, apart from surgery.”

The study involved 45 patients, who received the injections on just one half of their head. Some were given the PRP, some were given a more traditional steroid treatment, while others received a placebo.

Vampire PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Growth treatments are working to help those suffering from alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss). Unlocking the powerful proteins and growth factors within the platelets and injecting them into the scalp stimulates improved hair growth from weaker follicles. At Bauman Medical Group, our staff have been fully certified to provide Autologel PRP by Cytomedix since 2011. We also use PRP combined with ACell, an extracellular matrix product.

When can you expect to see results with LaserCap Laser Therapy?

When can you expect to 'see' results with Laser Therapy treatments like LaserCap?

Because hair fibers are produced from hair follicles at a growth rate of about 1cm per month, even with consistent use of Laser Therapy it can take six to twelve MONTHS to see visible changes in your hair in the mirror.  However, by using an accurate scientific measuring device like HairCheck which takes cross-sectional hair bundle (Hair Mass Index) measurements, it becomes easy to monitor your scalp's response to laser therapy in just a few weeks and track your improvement over time... before its noticeable to the naked eye. HairCheck measurements can be performed at Bauman Medical Group or by a Certified HairCoach near you.

Sometimes, one area of the scalp improves more than another… many patients ask "why?"  
The answer is that the improvement with Laser Therapy treatment with LaserCap will be proportional to the amount of weak hair in a given area.  The higher numbers of weaker hair follicles, the greater the improvement in Hair Mass Index. If the density in a given area is very weak, improvements will be less dramatic.  In addition, if the hair density and thickness is excellent in a given area of scalp, the improvement in that location will also be less dramatic.  It may seem counterintuitive, but just like other non-invasive treatments like Minoxidil (Formula 82M, etc.) and PRP+ACell, the response in each area will be proportional to the amount of hair that can be modulated or improved.  High-powered magnification of the scalp or Dermoscopy with a device like the HairCam can help your hair loss specialist determine which areas are likely to respond to non-invasive treatment and which areas will need minimally-invasive hair transplantation with NeoGraft FUE. 
 
At Bauman Medical Group, during your hair loss consultation Dr. Bauman will evaluate several areas of your scalp using HairCheck measurements and HairCam micro-dermoscopy and prescribe a treatment plan based on your hair loss status in each area and hair restoration goals.

Do you have a question about hair loss, laser therapy with LaserCap or another hair growth treatment? Dr. Bauman can answer your questions by email, phone or skype. Contact Dr. Bauman at doctorb@baumanmedical.com

Managing hair loss during testosterone replacement Presented at the 2012 20th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine by hair loss expert Dr. Alan J. Bauman, this lecture focused on one of the possible side effects of androgen (testosterone) replacement therapy: Hair Loss. For those men who are prone to hereditary male pattern hair loss, androgen replacement with testosterone may accelerate the process of hereditary hair thinning and baldness.

Mechanisms of action, medical evaluations, HairCheck hair growth tracking and treatments such as oral medications like finasteride and dutasteride, topical treatments like minoxidil 82M, laser therapy with LaserCap, hair transplantation in addition to nutritional supplementation are all part of the medical management of androgenetic alopecia (hereditary male pattern baldness). Anti-aging physicians should discuss the possibility of hair loss side-effects from androgen replacement with their male patients to whom they might prescribe testosterone.

At Bauman Medical Group, we accept referrals from physicians who would like to partner with us in the medical management of their hair loss patients.Anti-Aging physicians can email doctorb@baumanmedical.com or call 561-394-0024 to discuss and collaborate with ABHRS-certified and renowned hair loss physician, Dr. Alan J.

IHSMC - Int'l Hair Surgery Masters Class 2012 Photo Slideshow

On October 13, 2012 renowned hair transplant surgeon and Course Director, Dr. Pierre Bouhanna, hosted the second International Hair Surgery Master Class (IHSMC) meeting in Paris, France in conjunction with the 8^th European Masters of Anti-Aging Medicine Congress (EMAA).  In attendance were well over 100 physicians and hair loss experts who listened to a potpourri of lectures on the latest information on the medical and surgical treatment of hair loss.  Lectures included the psychological impact of hair loss, basics of medical treatments such as minoxidil, finasteride, laser therapy and nutrition, as well as the latest in hair transplantation techniques and procedures.  It was a “quick trip” but one with a well-respected international expert faculty and lots of new information on the treatment of hair loss.  A few short hours of Paris sightseeing was possible the day before and the evening after the conference was over.

Dr. Alan J. Bauman presented lectures on a variety of topics including minimally-invasive FUE using NeoGraft (aka S.A.F.E.R. by Medicamat), FUE hair transplant trends, low level laser therapy and hair regrowth (Nutreve and Laser Cap) as well as his protocols for large sessions of FUE transplantation (MEGA-FUE).

 

 

Is Formula 82M better than Rogaine?

Scan the reviews for Rogaine (minoxidil) and the complaints are not hard to find:  too greasy, too messy, sticky, irritating, flaking skin, inflammation, dermatitis, difficult to use, etc. 

Clever cosmetic chemists have figured out how to reduce the side effects of minoxidil through the use of pharmacy compounding.  This new compounded mixture, called Formula 82M, is available through prescription only.  That means your doctor cannot simply write a prescription for Formula 82M and send you down to the local pharmacy. 

Our patients have noticed that Formula82M minoxidil goes on drier and is less irritating than the standard minoxidil/rogaine solutions found over the counter.  Because there are fewer side effects, patients tend to be more compliant. That means that they use the product more often and stay on the regimen long enough to see the benefits.  Even the new, droptainer bottle makes it easier to apply than rogaine foam.

At Bauman Medical Group, we recommend HairCheck measurements every 90 days to track the regrowth of hair and the maintenance of the existing hair.  Patients should use minoxidil Formula 82M by applying approximately 15 drops twice a day to the scalp.
