Dr. Bauman's original "Hair Restoration Vacation" as seen on CNN and in USA TODAY in 2002. For more information on Dr. Bauman's hair transplant procedures, visit http://www.baumanmedical.com
This story was filmed at Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton and at the Boca Raton Resort and Club.
Patients stay for approximately one week in Boca Raton to recover cosmetically from their hair transplant procedure. With new, less invasive techniques like NeoGraft FUE, there is no stitches or scalpels used in the donor area for harvesting. This heals more comfortably and quickly than older "Linear" harvesting techniques. There is little discomfort during and/or after the procedure because the procedure is done without removing a strip of scalp. Each follicle or follicular unit is harvested individually. For more information on the NeoGraft FUE technique, visit http://www.neograft.info.
Actually, we typically perform about 2500 grafts per procedure, which takes us about 6 hours. Some procedures, like eyelash transplants are done with 100 grafts and others are 3000+.
