In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Alan Bauman, a board-certified hair restoration specialist and founder of Bauman Medical in Boca Raton, Florida. Dr. Bauman shares his journey into the field of hair restoration, which started with a fascination for plastic surgery and aesthetics before he discovered the transformative power of modern hair transplants.
Dr. Bauman explains how hair transplant techniques have evolved from outdated, pluggy-looking procedures to today’s refined, natural-looking follicular unit transplants. He discusses corrective procedures for those who had older methods done and emphasizes that hair restoration is as much an art as it is a science. His clinic, now a 13,000-square-foot "hair hospital," has treated over 35,000 patients and performed more than 14,000 transplants.
Brad and Dr. Bauman also dive into preventive and holistic approaches to hair loss. They discuss treatments like finasteride (Propecia), minoxidil, and DHT-blocking shampoos, as well as the impact of genetics and hormonal balance on hair health. Brad shares his own experience with Propecia, which successfully halted his hair loss but may have affected his body’s natural DHT-related functions, including facial and body hair growth.
Dr. Bauman highlights that hair loss treatment is highly individualized. Genetic testing can determine a person's response to minoxidil, and alternative treatments—such as oral minoxidil, PRP therapy, or even beard and body hair transplants—may be viable options. The conversation underscores the importance of proactive care, as addressing hair loss early can prevent the need for transplants later.
Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into modern hair restoration, debunking myths and offering hope for those worried about hair loss, whether they’re seeking prevention or a full restoration solution.
