National Media Turns to Dr. Alan Bauman for New Hair Loss Therapies

National Media Turns to Dr. Alan Bauman for New Hair Loss Therapies

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) May 10, 2011

How early you spot your thinning hair determines how much hair you save. If you wait until the hair loss is visible to the naked eye, you’re too late â?? 50 percent is already gone.

 

National hair restoration expert Alan J. Bauman, M.D., founder and medical director of Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton, was featured last week on ABCâ??s Good Morning America, FOX News, and The New York Times discussing the benefits of new procedures and treatment options.

 

Today, thanks to new technology and medical advancements, hair loss is no longer inevitable â?? itâ??s optional.

 

Latisse for Hair Loss: Latisse (Bimatoprost) is already FDA approved to grow longer eyelashes. Allergan in currently in phase I clinical trials to use it on male and female pattern hair loss as well. If it succeeds, it will be only the second topical treatment to receive FDA approval for hair loss (the other is Minoxidil/Rogaine). Dr. Bauman is already prescribing Latisse for off-label use on the scalp in some patients and seeing positive results. Both the New York Times and Good Morning America featured Dr. Baumanâ??s pioneering research with Latisse. Read the NY Times story or watch the GMA interview.

 

Laser Therapy: FDA approved, low-level lasers are a key new weapon in the battle against thinning – and not just for men, but for women too. LaserCap, is the latest breakthrough in laser therapy, the “hands-free” offers the power of a clinical laser therapy unit in a cordless, rechargeable, discreet treatment device that literally ‘fits under your hat’ for non-chemical, non-invasive, pain-free treatment almost anywhere, anytime.

 

HairCheck: Simple, painless, non-invasive way to measure and track the amount of hair growing in a given area of scalp (called your Hair Mass Index or “HairNumber”). This information allows patients to follow and track their treatment to maximize effectiveness. HairCheck is also a valuable tool as it can also quantify the degree of hair breakage from harsh hair care regimens. HairCheck is what Dr. Bauman was using in the Good Morning America segment to calculate the benefits of Latisse on male pattern hair loss.

 

Hair Transplant Robotics: The first robot designed to perform part of the hair transplant procedure has recently gained FDA approval. Called the ARTAS System, itâ??s an image-guided robot that promises to harvest up to 1,000 hair grafts in a single hour â?? which may make hair transplant surgery more efficient. FOX News interviewed Dr. Bauman about the new robotic transplant. Watch the interview.

 

NeoGraft FUE: Less invasive hair transplants allow for the transplantation of hair without the â??telltaleâ?? signs. Automated NeoGraft device helps the surgeon extracts hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp individually without the need for scalpel or stitches, leaving no linear scar. Recovery is faster, more comfortable and less restrictive. Artistic hairline design and single-follicle transplantation techniques create hair transplant results that truly defy detection.

 

Genetic Hair Loss Testing: By the age of 35, two-thirds of men will start losing their hair. But how do you know for sure if youâ??re at risk? New genetic tests can accurately determine a manâ??s (and womanâ??s) risk for losing hair so they can begin preventative treatments early.

 

Cell Therapy: Helping the body heal itself through cell therapy is a hot trend today in medicine. The use of autologous PRP (platelet rich plasma) for wound healing after hair transplants and as a stand-alone treatment for enhancing hair growth is becoming more widespread as research continues. The application of PRP to the scalp requires short outpatient visits every eight to twelve weeks.

 

Future Treatments: In the not-so-distant future, science may be able to stop baldness before it starts. Research is currently underway for the genetic modification of hair follicles that would make them resistant to the hair-killing hormone DHT. Scientists are also learning how to clone hair follicles – this could lead to cloned DHT-resistant follicles or just a larger stock of hair follicles for traditional transplantation.

Treat Male Pattern Baldness Naturally and Safely

Breakthrough Baldness Genetic Test

Breakthrough Baldness Genetic Test

UK (PRWEB) October 17, 2008

A groundbreaking genetic test to identify those most at risk from hair loss is now available in the UK for both men and women.

 

Currently only available at Farjo Hair Transplant Clinic, the simple, non-invasive test can determine whether an individual is genetically pre-disposed to pattern baldness. The test uses a DNA sample collected from a cheek swab.

 

The Hair DX screening test is suitable for those who are concerned about hair loss, or who have a family history of baldness. The objective of the test is to identify those at high risk of pattern baldness before they begin to lose their hair. Advances can then be taken to reduce the onset of pattern baldness.

 

Current diagnosis of pattern baldness relies on visual observations alone. However, once hair thinning is visible, around 50 per cent of hair will have been lost from that area of the scalp already.

 

Dr Bessam Farjo, co-founder of Farjo Medical Centre, said:

“The genetic test enables risk of pattern baldness to be assessed before hair loss occurs. Earlier intervention and treatment give patients the best chance of success, as the only FDA approved medications to combat hair loss – minoxidil and finasteride – are most effective at stabilising hair loss rather than stimulating re-growth.”

 

The test for male pattern baldness provides information on the presence of a specific gene variation on the X chromosome. Men who test positive are at high risk of developing early-onset male pattern baldness.

 

The test for female pattern baldness provides women with a score, called a CAG repeat score. A smaller test score is associated with a higher risk for significant hair loss.

 

Dr Bessam Farjo and his wife Dr Nilofer Farjo head up Farjo Medical Centre. They carry out more than 300 hair transplant operations each year at their Manchester clinic. More than 4,000 people have travelled to the clinic from across the UK, Europe and as far as the Middle East, Australia and the United States, including high profile celebrities such as Kyran Bracken (Rugby Player and Dancing on ice) and Shaun Williamson (actor).

 

The centre has an international reputation for not only using the latest hair transplantation techniques – recognised throughout the surgical field – but for placing significant emphasis on developing pioneering ways to counter hair loss, including a state-of-the-art test procedure whereby a patient’s hair follicles are cloned.

Hair Loss – Can Hair Loss Really Be Reversed?

Just the other day I was sitting down to have my morning cup of coffee when the CEO from one of the major drug manufacturers was talking up his company. Certainly can’t blame him for that, but what caught my eye was his advanced balding. A day or two later this same scenario repeated itself.

For men and women with a full head of hair this coincidence means very little but for those of us who have been fighting the battle against hair loss for years it has a profound meaning and that is if there was a pharmaceutical product that effectively stopped balding and re-grew quality hair these guys would certainly be using it.

This also seem to mesh well with my personal experience which tells me that while products containing the balding treatment minoxidil will work okay for a while at some point the gains will stop and hair loss will start to disappear eventually landing the user back where he or she was (or perhaps even worse) when the twice a day topical application was started.

So the bottom line it seems in the world of pharmaceuticals formulates to address loss of hair is they may be somewhat overrated.

Another interesting fact about reversing hair loss is that a receding hairline cannot be erased through hair loss treatments; though it can sometimes be erased through hair transplant surgery. This fact should be taken into account when you are deciding whether or not to plop down your hard earned money in search of a balding solution.

Generally speaking when thinning hair and/or that creeping bald spot occurs it is a result of male or female pattern balding. This condition accounts for 90 percent of cases of hair loss in men and about 30 percent in women.

Male or female pattern baldness is driven by a the hormone dihydrotestosterone which is an amped up version of testosterone which accumulates in the follicle complex of scalp hair. Over time the accumulation of dihydrotestosterone shrinks tens of thousands of follicles to a point where they are no longer able to produce new growth thus making the condition difficult to reverse as well as being progressive.

So really what we are talking about when dealing with male or female pattern balding is taking these damaged and dying follicles and restoring them to a point where new growth can once again occur.

Certainly this is no easy task and a word of warning from someone who has been fighting this battle for a while; be careful of the shampoos you use. Some are very harsh and will get in the way of successfully reversing hair loss. My experience tells me that organics or shampoos formulated especially for those trying to reverse balding are the way to go. Additionally, remember that shampoo is basically detergent and should be used in moderation.

In closing if you address the problem early enough with a little luck you will be able to at the very least protect the hair you have and very likely reinvigorate many of those damaged and dying follicles thus restoring at least some of your lost hair.

One last note: When combining natural topical and oral hair loss treatments it generally takes about a week to notice a difference in hair texture and about 8 weeks to see noticeable results. Always use these products as directed and over a relatively short period of time you likely will start to see noticeable and long lasting results.

New Information Shows Men Worry Most about Hair Loss at 30

New Information Shows Men Worry Most about Hair Loss at 30

Research of more than 10,000 men treated for hair loss at The Belgravia Cente shows the most common age that men seek treatment is 30

 

London, UK (PRWeb UK) July 29, 2009

Hair loss is more common in younger people than ever before and 30 is the age where a man decides to do something about it, according to recent statistics.

 

Figures revealed by the UK’s leading hair loss clinic, The Belgravia Centre, show there is an exponential rise in the number of men being treated for hair loss between the ages of 21 and 30, thereafter patient numbers gradually decline with age.

 

The results take into account all 10,660 men currently being treated for hair loss at the Belgravia Centre, and according to its senior hair loss specialist, Leonora Doclis, young people make up a large proportion.

 

“The statistics indicate that the average age that a man starts to experience hair loss is declining and the number of those affected are growing,” Leonora says.

 

Male pattern baldness used to be associated with middle age — the previous consensus was that two-thirds of men will have some degree of hair loss by the time they’re 40 but these statistics suggest the problem is more prevalent at a younger age.

 

“So many things are going on in your early 20s — the pressures of study, expectations on careers, moving from one place to another, all of these can create the type of stress that can trigger the early onset of male pattern baldness.

 

Scepticism is frequently the reason why so many hair loss sufferers live their lives without searching for a solution, but the increasing number of patients being treated for hair loss at 30 is likely to be the result of improved knowledge and the availability of better treatments, says Leonora.

 

“More people are becoming aware that you can do something about hair loss, but in the past your options were limited. Not until the last decade has Propecia and minoxidil been combined to produce significant results.”

 

In 1988, the topical hair restoration agent minoxidil was approved by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss and Propecia, a one-a-day, DHT-blocking pill, was approved in 1997.

 

After years of successfully treating various forms of hair loss, the Belgravia Centre has found the effectiveness of these hair loss treatments improves considerably when combined and administered in the right dose for the individual and when supported with the right hair growth boosters.

 

The Belgravia Centre are the UK’s leading hair loss clinic and can be contacted by telephone on 020 7730 6666 or by visiting belgraviacentre.com for enquiries about their effective hair loss treatment combinations.

Propecia Available Online Launches Offering Low Cost Propecia / Finastreride For Sale

Propecia Available Online Launches Offering Low Cost Propecia / Finastreride For Sale

London, England (PRWEB) May 31, 2004

, Propencia Available Online launches offering low cost Propenica for sale through the Internet. Propecia is the only FDA-approved prescription pill proven to treat male pattern baldness on the top-of-the-head and mid-scalp region in men. Men with male pattern hair loss have an increased level of DHT in their scalps. Leading scientists believe these increased levels of DHT affect the hair growth cycle, contributing to the thinning of the hair on the scalp.

 

Propecia (finasteride), available online only by prescription, is an exciting weapon in the battle against male pattern hair loss. PROPECIA use blocks the formation of DHT and in this way appears to interrupt a key factor in the development of inherited male pattern hair loss in men.

 

You may begin to see improvement as early as 3 months after you begin taking Propecia, but for many men it takes longer. The improvement lasts only as long as you take the drug; if you stop, new hair growth will cease and hair loss will resume. Propecia is a low-dose form of Proscar, a drug prescribed for prostate enlargement. Propecia is NOT for use by women. If taken during pregnancy, it can cause abnormal development of a male baby’s genital organs.

An Important Insight into Male Pattern Baldness

We all aspire to look good and if not that at least presentable. An important part of this involves caring for the skin and hair. Hair growth occurs cyclically for about 2-3 years. More than 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing by about a centimeter a month. Ten percent of the hair is in a resting phase after which it drops and new hair grows to replace it. However, it is seen that for some people, hair fall is more than what is normal for each day during this cycle. Male pattern baldness is caused by a similar increase in hair fall.

What is it?

There are many reasons why men go bald. If you have been having persistent hair loss from around 20 years of age and are losing scalp hair, you may be suffering from male pattern baldness. There is often a certain sequence or pattern to this type of baldness. It may usually be seen more at the temples or at the crown of the head. This thinning will continue to persist until there is lesser surface hair especially around the top of the head. It can be quite a difficult thing to deal with especially at a young age.

Why it happens?

There may be often a lot of factors that are causing this kind of hair fall. In a majority of the cases where there was no extreme surgery, treatments or other medical conditions involved, the cause is genetic. Male pattern baldness has been found to be an inherited condition in the larger number of cases. Research has shown that the main reason is that these men have a certain hormone that affects testosterone. In these individuals, testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone by the effects of 5 alpha-reductase. It is the DHT, which causes the follicles to produce hair that is shorter, and finer which eventually die out. The chances to carry this condition are equal in both males and females and it increases by 50% when there is an immediate family member who is balding.

Common Myths

There are quite a few myths surrounding baldness and its causes. It is time to discard some of them. Hair gels and other hair care products cannot cause pattern baldness in males. Neither do hats. Though sleeping with hats on all the time is not good, as it does not let your hair breathe. If you are worried about too many chemicals, switch to herbal products. A traumatic experience will not cause this condition in men, neither will viral infections. Too much sun also does not adversely affect hair growth; in fact, a lot of that thick hair on your head protects the scalp from the dangerous UV radiation.

Now that you have a fair idea of male pattern baldness and what does and does not cause it, you can rest better. If you are noticing significantly large amounts of hair on your pillow then see a doctor. It is possible to treat this type of hair loss after a proper diagnosis.
