How early a person spots thinning hair determines how much hair they save. Those who wait until the hair loss is visible to the naked eye are too late – 50 percent is already gone.

Nationally recognized hair restoration expert Alan J. Bauman, M.D. will be a featured presenter at the Cosmetic Surgery & Wellness Expo 2012 at the Miami Convention Center on Saturday, February 25. Dr. Baumans multimedia presentation How to Avoid a Hair Transplant will discuss safe and effective medical therapies proven to protect, enhance and restore hair growth in men and women.

Although hair transplant technology has improved significantly in recent years, our first goal is always non-surgical intervention, said Bauman, a board-certified hair restoration surgeon who is recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. The goal of this talk is to teach prospective patients about the abundance of preventative care treatments, from low level lasers to FDA approved medications and nutritional supplements and how to better understand the hair loss process, including the importance of meeting with a board-certified hair restoration physician.

Following the presentation, Bauman and his medical staff at Bauman Medical Group will demonstrate new technologies to treat and prevent hair loss. Several of Baumans patients will also be at the expo to share their personal experiences with hair loss and hair restoration.

A variety of new treatments and technologies have recently become available that make hair loss prevention a real option for patients who are genetically predisposed to hair thinning, said Bauman. Although new minimally-invasive techniques in hair transplantation like Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE, is more comfortable and natural than ever, most patients want to reduce the amount of transplants required or avoid any type of surgical procedure altogether. In my presentation, I will discuss four important ways people can prevent hair loss, including the latest cutting-edge treatments and technologies that top hair restoration physicians provide.

Here are Baumans four tips for avoiding a hair transplant:

Shaft Medical San Diego (SHAFT SAN DIEGO), the areas premium aesthetic medicine practice providing the full range of advanced cosmetic procedures, announces the availability of the PowerX and Lipotherme Liposuction San Diego procedure for treatment of bingo wings excess skin and arm fat.

Large, saggy flaps of skin under the arm are colloquially known as bat wings or bingo wings. A recent survey showed that three out of four of us hate our bingo wings.

Its a truly sobering time in anybodys life when one day you raise your arm and find that youve got those dreaded bingo wings! For many women, this is the moment that our San Diego liposculpture procedure starts to sound like a wonderful idea.

Even with diet and exercise, its possible to end up with areas of fat that just dont seem to shift, such as love handles, back fat, tummy rolls, and of course, bingo wings. You can now permanently eliminate your bingo wings with a relatively simple outpatient liposuction San Diego procedure.

Liposuction of upper arm with the PowerX and Lipotherme San Diego Liposuction procedure fat involves permanent removal of fat cells resulting in greater definition and skin tightness. This technique reduces or eliminates the droopiness in the arms associated with bingo wings.

Produced by Sound Surgical, the recently FDA-approved PowerX Lipo System is an innovative power-assisted liposuction device that makes it easier for the cosmetic surgeon to remove fat. The cannula rotates, allowing fat to be removed quicker, more efficiently, and with less effort. It is also very quiet, unlike other mechanical liposuction devices.

Lipotherme is a new FDA-approved 980 nm wavelength laser lipolysis technology developed in France. Using a small laser housed in a specially designed and patented cannula, fatty deposits below the skin are disrupted with heat, facilitating their removal and the look and contour you desire. Laser lipolysis with Lipotherme is often used in areas where traditional liposuction would not be successful and in parts of the body where diet and exercise is not able to reduce fatty deposits.

Now, with PowerX and Lipotherme, there are new and effective options in liposuction technology.

The PowerX technique substantially reduces surgical time as compared to traditional liposuction. Combining a unique rotational handpiece with multiple power settings, PowerX enables more precise body sculpting and contouring. Capable of superficial work to large volume fat removal, the PowerX allows cosmetic surgeons more control by reducing aspiration time and physician fatigue.

PowerX offers physicians and patients the ability to custom-tailor body contouring treatment. PowerX can be used alone or in combination with other liposuction technologies such as SHAFTs exclusive Lipotherme laser lipolysis system.

Lipotherme laser liposuction offers smooth and consistent contouring results, allowing cosmetic surgeons to target the smallest and most stubborn pockets of fat. Lipotherme is the perfect solution for small, precise areas like the face, neck, back, parts of the abdomen and arms. This technique reduces bruising and bleeding, and only a local anesthetic is needed which reduces both cost and risk to the patient.

SHAFT SAN DIEGO, San Diegos premium aesthetic medicine practice providing the full range of advanced cosmetic procedures, announces the availability of the NeoGraft Scar Free Hair Transplantation procedure.

No scars. No painful recovery. No long downtime. NeoGraft offers a revolution in hair restoration.

Over 50 million men and about 21 million women in the United States suffer from male/female pattern baldness or hair loss. More than 40 percent of men will have a noticeable hair loss by age 35. Sixty-five percent of women will have noticeable hair loss by the time they are 60.

Due to the challenges of the current job market, social relationship competition, and the aging baby boomer population affected by hair loss, hair restoration procedures and treatments are one of the fastest growing segments in the aesthetic industry. Past hair transplantation procedures were time intensive, invasive, and required specialized skills that were developed over time.

NeoGraft is a revolutionary, FDA-approved automated hair transplant device. Most doctors only use the traditional manual strip method of transplantation, which requires the doctor to surgically remove a strip of scalp from the back of the patient’s head.

With NeoGraft, hair is harvested without leaving the large linear scar associated with the strip method. The NeoGraft procedure is ideal for a man who wishes to wear his hair short, and for any woman who wouldn’t be happy to have a large scar on the back of her head.

Now, with the NeoGraft method of “follicular unit extraction”, or FUE, hair follicles are gently lifted out of the scalp with a small instrument and light suction then placed into the bald or thinning areas with reverse air pressure.

NeoGraft offers several advantages over the traditional hair transplant methods. Since there is no long linear scar there is no need for painful stitches and healing time is significantly reduced. There is no residual hair donor area numbness and tightness caused by an incision. Results are generally much more natural appearing due to the precision of the harvesting and implantation process.

After planning the appropriate pattern of hair restoration for each patient, a small area of hair in the back of the head is cut short. Then a hand piece with a very small instrument, about 1 mm in diameter, extracts each naturally occurring follicular unit (containing from 1-5 hairs) from the scalp. By using gentle air pressure to slide out each follicular hair unit, there is no twisting, pulling or cutting, thus avoiding any damage. These hairs are then quickly implanted into the bald or balding areas, maintaining their viability and increasing the success of the grafting process.

Before the availability of the NeoGraft device, an FUE hair transplant session was often limited to transplanting 500 to 600 grafts in a day. With NeoGraft, up to 2,000 grafts or more can be completed in a single day, making the process much faster and easier on the patient.

WHAT IS THE TRADITIONAL METHOD OF HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?

The traditional hair transplant method, and still the one most widely used, involves the surgical removal of part of the scalp. This scalp section is taken from the back of the head, where hair grows thickest, and the hair follicles from that section are transplanted along the hairline, on bald spots in the head, or wherever else is desired.

The scalp area, from which the hair follicles are taken, has to be stitched back together. This procedure, formally known as linear harvest follicular unit transplant, is also known as the strip system.

HOW DOES NEOGRAFT WORK?

NeoGraft utilizes a newer transplant system called follicular unit extraction, or FUE, in which hair follicles are removed individually from the back of the head. Under this minimally invasive method there is little danger of scarring, bleeding, or nerve damage.

FUE performed by hand has been too time-consuming and expensive for widespread use. The NeoGraft system offers technological advances that can reduce the time and cost of transplants, making FUE more practical for both men and women of all ages.

Just in time for Valentines Day, a truly sweet way to permanently get back those eyebrows you deserve.

No scars. No painful recovery. No long downtime. NeoGraft offers a revolution in San Diego hair restoration.

Eyebrows provide definition and expression for your face. If they are missing as a result of injury, plucking, or genetics, the effects can be devastating no matter what your gender. While many get by with an eyebrow pencil or tattooing, it is now possible to transplant your own hair to create natural appearing eyebrows all your own.

Due to the challenges of the current job market, social relationship competition, and the aging baby boomer population affected by hair loss, hair restoration procedures and treatments are one of the fastest growing segments in the aesthetic industry. In the past, San Diego hair transplantation procedures were time intensive, invasive, and required specialized skills that were developed over time. NeoGraft is a revolutionary, FDA-approved automated hair transplant device. With NeoGraft hair restoration San Diego, hair is harvested one hair at a time from the back of the head without leaving the large linear scars associated with the strip method.

NeoGraft offers several advantages over the traditional hair transplant method. The traditional or strip method is the old technique where a section of the scalp is removed and individual hairs are dissected from the scalp strip for later implantation in thinning areas. Since there is no scar with NeoGraft, there is no need for painful stitches and healing time is significantly reduced. And, with NeoGraft there is no numbness of the hair donor area or the very tight feeling that can be caused by an incision. Results are generally much more natural appearing with NeoGraft due to the precision of the harvesting and implantation process.

How Does NeoGraft Work?

After planning the appropriate pattern of hair restoration for each patient, a small area of hair in the back of the head is cut short.

By using gentle air pressure to slide out each follicular hair unit, there is no twisting, pulling or cutting, thus avoiding any damage. These hairs are then implanted into the eyebrows, maintaining their viability and increasing the success of the grafting process.

Now, with the NeoGraft method of “follicular unit extraction”, or FUE, hair follicles are gently lifted out of the scalp with a small instrument and light suction, and are then placed into the bald or thinning areas with reverse air pressure. The eyebrow restoration procedure is carefully designed to meet your desired objectives, carefully considering density, hair angle and hair direction.
