Alan J. Bauman, M.D.
Hair Restoration
New, innovative hair restoration technologies have enabled Dr. Alan J. Bauman to treat his patients more effectively at Bauman Medical, his 12,000 sq. ft. “hair hospital” in Boca Raton.
“One of the more recent technologies is toward Personalized Precision Medicine or PPM,” explains Dr. Bauman. “It involves looking at each patient’s individual situation and genetic makeup to see what treatment would help them best.”
The new genetic TrichoTestTM for hair loss looks at a patient’s DNA and, with a cheek swab that can be done anywhere, tells us about specific metabolic pathways in the body specifically related to hair loss and treatment. It analyzes 13 genes and 48 genetic variations, so hair loss can be treated faster and more accurately, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
“Genetic testing for hair loss has actually been available in my practice since 2008, but we have been using this particular test for three years,” Dr. Bauman adds. “It’s really good for women, who have had only one FDA-approved medication (Minoxidil) available to them. This is a more targeted approach — very cutting-edge — and patients are thrilled with it. It saves time and gets a better result in the long run.”
Dr. Bauman is one of the first hair doctors to utilize TED (TransEpidermal Delivery), a revolutionary new system that uses ultrasound technology to penetrate the scalp with a powerful topical hair growth formula, reducing hair shedding, hair thinning and hair loss.
“TED is non-invasive, pain-free and needle-free and it takes only 25 minutes” he says. “TED’s gentle vibrations and warm sensations are so soothing that some patients fall asleep during their treatment.”
Dr. Bauman established his practice in 1997 and is one of only approximately 200 physicians worldwide to achieve certification from the distinguished American and International Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ABHRS). Dr. Bauman was voted “#1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon” in North America by Aesthetic Everything for the 6th consecutive year, “Top Hair Restoration Surgeon of the Decade” and received the 2022 “Lifetime Achievement Award in Hair Restoration.”
“I’m passionate about hair loss and helping people look and feel great — I’m still doing it after 25 years,” Dr. Bauman says. Just ask his thousands of grateful patients.
