Non-patterned Hair Loss – Causes and Treatments

The stages of hair loss typically follow one of several common patterns – from a receding hairline to the classical horseshoe to the central bald spot. While genetics is the leading cause of male pattern baldness, some types of hair loss occur outside of this category. Hair falling out in patches or during a relatively short time period can have a number of causes, making non-patterned hair loss challenging to treat, as well as frustrating and troubling to those suffering from it. Learning to identify the various characteristics of non-patterned loss can lead to a quicker diagnosis and effective treatment.

As cited by WebMD, heredity accounts for 95 percent of all the cases of alopecia (baldness) in the United States. The remaining five percent can be due to a number of factors, including:

Diet – Unusually high levels of vitamin A or low levels of iron or protein. Iron is essential for the production of hair protein.

Illness – Thyroid disease, severe infection or flu.

Medications – Drugs used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), heart problems, depression or gout; birth control pills.

Hormonal imbalances – Changes in female hormone levels during pregnancy or menopause. Also, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that can cause hair loss by increasing levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Stress – One of the most common causes of non-patterned hair loss, stress can trigger production of higher androgen levels. Androgens can attack the hair growth cycle and shorten it, which can cause hair loss.

Recognizing Alopecia Areata

Often mistaken as stress-related hair loss, alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack hair follicles. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), alopecia areata can cause different types of hair loss: alopecia areata (hair loss in patches), alopecia totalis (total hair loss on the scalp) and alopecia universalis (hair loss on the entire body).

The AAD notes that alopecia areata in all of its variations is not due to nerves, and most often occurs in otherwise healthy people. Hair typically grows back, but can fall out again.

The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) is a resource for those living with this condition. The NAAF states that although there are currently no treatments that work for everyone, some are effective for some people, depending on which type of alopecia areata is involved, the patient’s age and the extent of hair loss.

The main goals of treatment are to block the immune system’s attack and/or to stimulate hair regrowth. According to the NAAF, this can be effective, especially for those with less than 50 percent hair loss. For those with greater than 50 percent loss, oral and topical medications are available, as well as phototherapy (light treatments).

Recognizing Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs over time. It is caused by putting the hair under constant strain or tension, and usually results from wearing hair in very tight ponytails, pigtails, tight braids or cornrows. As more hair falls out, sufferers tend to attempt to mask the issue through weaves and hair extensions – which sets up a vicious cycle that worsens the condition.

This was the case with J.D. – a patient of Dr. Marco Barusco who sought treatment for her traction alopecia, made worse by the weaves she used to create the appearance of a full head of hair. In her job as a pharmaceutical representative, presenting a polished, professional image is essential, which led J.D. to research hair restoration specialists before scheduling an appointment at Tempus Hair Restoration. After a successful treatment program, J.D. is now proud to let her natural hair represent her self-confidence to the world. And she is not wearing tight ponytails anymore.

Treatments For Non-Patterned Hair Loss

Unlike male and female pattern baldness, the cause of each individual case of non-patterned hair loss is different. A diagnosis by a licensed physician who has experience with hair loss needs to be made in order for a course of treatment to be planned. While you may suspect a cause, attempting to treat non-patterned hair loss without a diagnosis can make the condition worse – or at the very least, delay effective treatment and the desired outcome of healthy hair.

Dr. Barusco has over 20 years of experience treating all types of hair loss – including non-patterned. His professional credentials include: Diplomate and Past President (2017) of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery; Assistant Professor of Surgery – University of Central Florida College of Medicine; Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS).

We offer the latest, most advanced treatments available for non-patterned hair loss. Our blog post, “Non-surgical Treatments for Hair Restoration,” discusses prescription medications and other treatments our practice utilizes, depending upon the individual patient’s case.

If you are suffering with non-patterned hair loss, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Barusco. Unlike many other hair restoration practices, Dr. Barusco conducts all consultations (both in-office and virtually) himself, and performs all procedures.

Should you be reading this article outside of the areas served by our 14 offices throughout Florida, we can make arrangements for a virtual consultation with Dr. Barusco. For your convenience, consultations are offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Dr. Barusco and our staff look forward to meeting you, and helping you get the right treatment for your type of hair loss.

Why Do Hair Transplants Go Wrong?

General, Surgery

Why Do Hair Transplants Go Wrong?

Hair plays a major role in one’s self-esteem. During various periods throughout history, elaborate wigs were signs of status and wealth – for obvious reasons. Today, instead of covering hair loss with a full or partial hairpiece, hair transplant surgery is readily available and within the economic reach of many. However, such availability comes at a high price for those who make the wrong choice in the doctor who performs the procedure, ranging from severe scarring to unnatural growth patterns of new hair.

Many factors can contribute to bad hair transplants. The following are the most prevalent.

Inexperienced Surgeons Can Cause Errors

The main reason for an unsuccessful hair transplant is selecting an unqualified doctor. Many are not certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. Such patients face the risks of surgical complications, scarring and infections. Many patients choose a doctor based on their advertising campaign, extravagant promises of results or low cost (or any or all of these). Also, at many clinics, the doctor (who may not even be on the premises at the time of surgery) allows technicians to harvest grafts or perform other procedures for which they have no medical qualifications.

Dr. Marco Barusco – founder and Chief Medical Officer of Tempus Hair Restoration – is a board-certified surgeon who is internationally recognized as a leader in hair restoration. His many credentials include: Diplomate and Past President (2017) of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery; Assistant Professor of Surgery – University of Central Florida College of Medicine; Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). He most recently received American Registry’s America’s Most Honored Professionals 2018 award and was recognized as being in the top one-percent of this distinguished group.

One of the most important stages of a hair restoration process is graft placement, as it determines the outcome of the final appearance of the patient. If this stage does not take place properly, the procedure will fail. It is easier for inexperienced doctors to make mistakes when trying to determine the safe donor site located on the back of the patient’s head, where the healthy follicles are extracted. Overharvesting could cause significant damage in the donor zone and result in a catastrophic outcome.

Hair Loss Types

Not knowing which hair transplant procedure is best for your type of hair loss could lead to disaster. Topics such as surgical treatments and post-operative stages are important to discuss with your surgeon prior to undergoing treatment. A surgeon with limited experience may only perform the procedure he is familiar with, assembly line-style, whether or not it is right for you. In addition, less experienced surgeons are often not up-to-date with newer (yet clinically proven) technologies and surgical procedures that could achieve superior results.

Sometimes, the degree of hair loss may not be enough for the patient to be an appropriate candidate for hair transplant surgery, yet recommended for the procedure. When asked about consulting young patients (early 20s) suffering from hair loss, Dr. Barusco explained: “They’re usually not the best candidates for surgery because of the potential for progression of hair loss. My approach with the young patients is to delay surgery, bring force to medical therapy, keep following them over a year, two, five, ten years until I think they’re ready for the procedure.” Timing is crucial. If you don’t seek the procedure at the right stage of your hair loss, it could result in a very odd-looking appearance.

Causes of Hair Loss

Another factor in determining the need for hair restoration surgery is medical condition. Hair loss may be due to many non-hereditary elements, such as stress, weight loss or hormonal imbalance. In such cases, hair loss is usually temporary. A poorly qualified doctor or unqualified clinician may misdiagnose a non-hereditary cause and perform a transplant. An unethical doctor may recognize the cause, but perform the procedure anyway.

Can a Bad Hair Transplant Be Fixed?

Every patient who undergoes any type of medical treatment is unique, and may have different results. Dr. Barusco has met several patients who have dealt with poor outcomes. When asked about how he approaches this situation, he said: “Sometimes I can help them, but sometimes I can’t. A bad liposuction or a bad breast surgery can at least be hidden from view. A bad hair transplant cannot. And what is even worse, is that these patients are coming to me not only with poor results on their hairline, but also terrible scarring and thinning in their donor hair (the limited supply of permanent hair we use for transplants) caused by taking too many hair incisions that are larger than they should be.”

At Tempus Hair Restoration, Dr. Barusco performs every procedure himself. Our team pays great attention to your emotional well-being and follows up with every step of the procedure to ensure you are well-informed and directed in the right path. Our consultation is free. Dr. Barusco will discuss the different treatments available and will recommend the one that will work best for you. Depending on the cause of your hair loss, a non-surgical treatment course could be successful.

The pain, scarring, emotional distress and considerable additional expense of a bad hair transplant can be avoided by performing due diligence in the process of selecting a surgeon. Check credentials with professional accreditation organizations, such as those listed in the fourth paragraph of this article. Don’t hesitate to ask questions during the consultation – and make sure your consultation is with the surgeon, not a salesperson. ISHRS provides an excellent list of questions to bring up, including: Who will be involved in performing my surgery, what role will they play, and what is their education, training, licensure, and experience performing hair restoration surgery?

Choose your surgeon carefully based on experience, results and integrity. Dr. Barusco’s long list of accomplishments, his notable artistic ability and his successful surgical team make Tempus Hair Restoration a renowned practice. Dr. Barusco also conducts virtual consultations for those who can’t travel to one of our 14 Florida locations, and our office will arrange travel and accommodations for out-of-area patients. We invite you to learn more about our procedures, then contact us to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Barusco. We look forward to meeting you and discussing your options.

No More Pencils – Your Guide to Eyebrow Transplants

Facial Hair Transplants, General

Full, well-shaped eyebrows are highly desired among women today. The “Instagram brow” popularized on social media by such celebrities as Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner has achieved aspirational status, setting an aesthetic standard that many attempt to achieve through cosmetic means. With so much emphasis on eyebrows, an increasing number of people – including men – consider them important to self-esteem. For those experiencing thinning brows for such reasons as over plucking or genetics, an eyebrow transplant is a solution that can provide permanent, natural-looking results.
 

Eyebrow Transplants vs. Tattoos, Tweezing, Topicals

Ironically, beauty standards of previous decades favored a narrower brow line, resulting in overly tweezed eyebrows – which eventually shows up as thinning areas and bald spots. Corrections such as cosmetics or “permanent makeup” tattoos have drawbacks. Eyebrow pencils, powders and gels must be applied at least once daily, and their results largely depend upon the user’s artistic talent. Bad brow days are perhaps even more prevalent than bad hair days. Tattoos do not replicate the look of individual brow hairs, and eventually fade, creating a blotchy, even more artificial effect. Eyebrow transplantation offers a pleasing, natural-appearing restoration that signals youthfulness.

Increasing awareness of eyebrow transplantation has, in turn, led to the need to educate potential candidates about the procedure – and the credentials to look for when selecting a surgeon.
 

The Eyebrow Transplantation Procedure

At Tempus Hair Restoration, the extent of restoration depends upon the patient’s goals – whether to conceal a scar or achieve full restoration of both brows. In the case of a complete restoration, Dr. Marco Barusco – founder and Chief Medical Officer at Tempus Hair Restoration –  works with the patient to recreate the eyebrow in a natural contour, outlining the eyebrow area to complement the natural symmetry of the face.

Hair Transplant Near Me, Florida Hair Doctor, Eyebrow Replacement, Hair Loss Treatments

During the consultation, Dr. Barusco determines what transplantation method is better for the patient based on the patient’s hair type. Donor hairs are typically removed from toward the neck – where the hair quality is more compatible to facial hair. Grafts are carefully selected to achieve the appearance of natural eyebrow hair once transplanted. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, after which the patient can resume normal activities apart from post-surgical instructions regarding care of the donor and recipient sites. New growth typically becomes more dense than the hair in the original transplant grafts.
 

Experience Makes the Difference

Because eyebrow transplantation is a relatively new procedure, those considering it need to perform their due diligence. Research the qualifications and experience of those you contact for a consultation. The precision necessary to achieve the best possible aesthetic results depends upon the experience and skill of the surgeon (who should be performing the procedure, rather than an assistant or technician). The disclaimer “under the medical direction of” used by many clinics should be a red flag to potential patients that someone other than a surgeon will be performing this exacting procedure.

Dr. Barusco is a board-certified surgeon who is internationally recognized as a leader in hair restoration. His many other credentials include: Diplomate and Past President (2017) of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery; Assistant Professor of Surgery – University of Central Florida College of Medicine; Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS). Dr. Barusco conducts all consultations (both in-office and virtually – via Skype chat) and performs all hair transplantation procedures.

Hair Restoration Scams: Beware of 21st Century Snake Oil

General

Unfortunately, bogus hair loss “remedies” are more popular than ever.

The battle against baldness is almost as long as history itself. The Ebers Papyrus – a medical text from 1550 B.C.E. – offers a number of recommended cures for ancient Egyptians suffering from hair loss. Suggestions include a mixture of fats from a hippopotamus, crocodile, tomcat, snake and ibex. While such a concoction now strikes us as obviously ineffective, all too many people are still willing to put their faith – and money – into modern-day “snake oil” hair restoration remedies that range from useless to harmful. With proven, effective treatments – both surgical and non-surgical – readily available, Dr. Marco Barusco and our team at Tempus Hair Restoration want consumers to recognize bogus products and dubious procedures.

Hair Loss Scams

Just as is the case with many other medical conditions, bogus products claiming to prevent baldness or restore hair aggressively market to susceptible people through online advertising, multi-level marketing (MLM) companies, radio ads, late-night infomercials and other media. Such products either use medical-sounding language or sell themselves as a “natural” remedy.

Hair loss restoration researchers have concluded that the leading cause of baldness for men is the male sex hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This hormone has been linked to hair loss in women, as well. DHT prevents the follicles in the scalp from promoting hair growth by attaching itself to the follicles’ receptor cells and inhibiting any proteins, vitamins and minerals needed for their survival.

Those who have a genetic tendency for hair loss are more sensitive to the effects of DHT. The only way to prevent or restore hair loss is to block this hormone. Scam marketers often dance around the subject by mentioning DHT, but refrain from stating clearly that their product efficiently blocks this hormone. The FDA-approved prescription medications that actually are effective in blocking DHT will be covered later in this post.

To avoid regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), marketers of these bogus products identify them as food or nutritional supplements, carefully choosing their words to avoid making an outright claim of medical results. These deceptive marketers often use phony testimonials and product reviews, all of which are impossible to verify.

Consumers are often confused by such slick sales methods, not only wasting money, but valuable time. The longer that hair loss goes untreated, the chances for success diminish.

How to Know When it’s a Hoax

One big red flag signaling a scam product is overselling and/or guaranteeing hair growth. If it promises “amazing” and “quick” results, be suspicious. Legitimate non-surgical treatments produce gradual results, depending upon the individual. Again, consulting with a hair restoration specialist should set realistic expectations about the results that a particular treatment can achieve for you.

What Does Work?

Medical hair growth treatments help stabilize hair loss and maintain hairs that would otherwise be lost. The following are FDA-approved medications proven to be effective.

Minoxidil – Minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) is a medication used for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) treatments and hair growth in women with thinning hair.

 It is in a class of drugs known as vasodilators. By widening the blood vessels, minoxidil  allows more blood and oxygen to reach the follicles, causing those in the telogen phase (the resting phase of the hair growth cycle), to shed. They are replaced by thicker hairs in the new anagen phase (the active growth phase of hair follicles). Rogaine is available over-the-counter. Dr. Barusco typically recommends the foam option, which must be done at a 5% concentration in order to assist in blocking DHT. In order for this medication to keep supporting hair growth, it should be used continuously.

 

Finasteride (brand name Propecia) – This is a prescription tablet used to block DHT and treat hair loss for men only. A 1 mg dose of finasteride can lower DHT levels by 60% if taken daily, and slows down hair loss as long as it is taken continuously. The American Hair Loss Association recognizes finasteride as the leading non-surgical hair loss treatment for men.

Inform Yourself

Knowledge is power. Being an informed consumer will allow you to tell the difference between science and pseudo-science, and seek legitimate treatment for your hair loss before it’s too late to reverse or restore. Choose your surgeon carefully based on experience, results and professional integrity.

An Affordable Hair Transplant that Doesn’t Sacrifice Quality

Male Hair Restoration, Surgery

Sufferers of hair loss understand that it can have a big impact on one’s self-esteem, especially at a younger age. Hair is often perceived as a sign of youth, beauty, and virility. When someone loses it, they may feel like they have had many aspects of their lives taken from them.

That can in turn interfere with their work performance, personality, and charisma, affecting their social and professional lives. Despite all of these psychological effects, insurance companies still see hair restoration as a “cosmetic procedure.” That means they will not cover it.

While doing your research in this procedure and the doctors who perform it, you may be tempted to look for a bargain and go with someone who has less experience or who does not perform only hair restoration. While the procedure may seem simple enough, (it isn’t like they’re operating on your brain), there are still plenty of things that can go wrong; you can avoid them with a more skilled surgeon. Poorly performed hair transplants can lead to infection, the hair may grow properly, or the results may not look natural. Dr. Barusco has met many patients who have suffered from these complications.

“Sometimes I can help them, but sometimes I can’t. A bad liposuction or a bad breast surgery can at least be hidden from view. A bad hair transplant cannot. And what is even worse, is that these patients are coming to me not only with poor results on their hairline, but also terrible scarring and thinning of their donor hair (the limited supply of permanent hair we use for transplants) caused by taking too many hairs with incisions that are larger than they should be.”

That is why, as in any procedure, you want to look for someone who has experience, quality, and artistic ability, who knows what can go wrong and how to avoid it.

Dr. Barusco is an internationally recognized surgeon, with over 20 years of experience in hair restoration procedures. Elected as the President of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in 2017, he focuses on innovative procedures with natural-looking results. He has written chapters in multiple textbooks on the Tempus No-Shave FUE, the Crown-Hatching Technique that he created and on complications in hair transplantation.

But with an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Barusco, you may be concerned about costs. First, every consultation is performed by Dr. Barusco and it is free. There are no fees for speaking with us. After Dr. Barusco makes an individualized recommendation based on your situation and goals, you will meet with one of our patient educators, who will discuss the costs of what Dr. Barusco has prescribed. If you need to finance the procedure, we offer special 6 and 12-month financing plans with no interest. We are very transparent on the cost of our services, and what you see on the bill is what you will pay in the end. And remember, this isn’t a frivolous purchase; it is a lifetime investment. You will keep this hair for life.

At Tempus, we make our procedures affordable without compromising our quality. We aren’t a one-stop shop for cosmetic surgeries. We focus on hair restoration alone, because that is an important issue that deserves undivided attention. We want to help you get your life back. So schedule your free consultation today, and let’s talk about how we can help.

Self-Worth vs. Vanity – How Hair Transplants Affect Other Areas of Your Life

Male Hair Restoration

There is a common misconception that ties cosmetic surgery to vanity – that anyone who gets a hair transplant is only concerned about their own image. The truth is much more complicated. Losing one’s hair can be detrimental to self-esteem, and, in turn, affect many aspects of life. It may even hold a person back from being happy.

Look at Joe, one of our patients. After his divorce, he started thinking less of himself. “I had gained weight and lost all desire to start over,” he said. “My hair was receding, which made everything else worse.” Stress and an individual’s mental state have been shown to be a cause of hair loss. When this happens, a person’s self-esteem can become even worse. Said Joe, “Each day that passed it was harder and harder to look in the mirror and gain the motivation to get my life together.”

Restoring hair isn’t about some desire to be sexy, but rather to help one’s self-worth – as Joe experienced after his procedure. “My confidence definitely increased as the compliments came rolling in. I joined a gym and felt determined again … I looked in the mirror and finally feel happy with who is looking back.”

Dr. Barusco understands what hair loss can do to someone. After losing her husband and going through chemotherapy, Carol’s hair began to thin out. Trying to get her life back on track, she went to Dr. Barusco for a consultation. Carol said she “… immediately felt a warmth and sincerity from [him]. He truly understands the emotional impact hair loss can cause on someone, and treated me as his patient rather than a dollar sign.”

He made sure Carol felt comfortable in the whole process, and explained exactly what would happen. Since then, she said, “My results have been amazing and I feel great about myself again. It truly has changed my life.”

Hair loss can be so destructive to one’s confidence, they feel the need to hide. Another of Dr. Barusco’s patients, J.D., battled Traction Alopecia for some time. This condition is a type of hair loss that happens over time. It’s caused by putting the hair under constant strain or tension, and usually results from wearing hair in very tight ponytails, pigtails, tight braids or cornrows. J.D. used weaves, wigs and extensions to cover and mask the issue – which, in turn, caused even more hair loss.

J.D. works as a pharmaceutical representative, a profession that requires confidence when visiting multiple physician offices on a daily basis. “My results have been amazing and speak for themselves,” she said. It truly was the best decision I have ever made. I waited a long time in order to find the right person to do this. I am now wearing my natural hair and feel so confident. I have now opened my own business and living my best life.”

Joe, Carol, and J.D. all suffered from hair loss, and it was important to their self-worth that they could recover it. Since their procedure, each has gone on to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. If you are suffering from hair loss, don’t hesitate to schedule your free consultation and learn what you have to do to get your life back.

Choosing an Experienced Surgeon for Hair Trauma Cases

Last week Dr. Barusco was honored to help treat a 12-year-old patient with a large scalp injury. It was a very challenging case but with his experience coupled with the expertise shown by Tempus Hair Restoration’s surgical team, they were able to help the process for the patient and his parents go as best as possible.

Dr. Barusco is not just a hair restoration specialist. As a board certified surgeon, he has a strong background in performing complicated procedures that hide scars and other injuries such as this one performed last week. Dr. B also understands the impact of past trauma and applies the utmost caution and care to your treatment. When there is traumatic hair loss, it’s important to find the most skilled surgeon because there may not be much hair to work with. Preserving every strand is so important.

Staying up-to-date with the latest industry news and breakthroughs that could influence treatment for hair loss due to head trauma, Dr. Barusco personally performs every procedure himself. He gives his undivided attention and does not treat multiple patients at a time. Additionally, he is supported by his surgical team that has been working together for over 12 years!

Being the only practice in Florida to offer consultations in English, Spanish and Portuguese, Tempus Hair Restoration has become known internationally. Dr. Barusco is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and a respected educator who has been invited to lecture all over the world. Dr. Barusco has even trained many other successful hair transplant surgeons over the years in the art of delivering natural results. Some hair transplant doctors and their staff in the Central Florida area are even patients of Dr. Barusco.

When you look up the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery online and select the “About Us” tab the first thing that pops up is “Commitment to Hair Restoration Excellence and Safety”. Tempus Hair Restoration is proud to not only be members of this great organization but our very own Dr. Marco Barusco was recently rewarded with a beautiful crystal plaque from the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. He is finishing up his year as their President. “It was been a great honor to have been entrusted with this responsibility. Me and my team are looking forward to continuing to be involved with this great institution,” said Dr. Barusco.

(1) The need for the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS) first surfaced in June 1995 at a Hair Replacement Surgery Seminar in Chicago. A group of speakers began discussing the need for a certifying board in hair replacement surgery. The discussion during the subsequent twelve months became more resolute as the press began to focus on hair replacement surgery, due to the many sensational stories on television and in print. In 1996, the American Hair Loss Council (AHLC) invited all of the specialty groups whose physicians performed hair restoration surgery to participate in a meeting to discuss the development of a Board Certification process for hair restoration surgery. The presidents of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery were each invited to send three representatives to a meeting to discuss the development of a certification process.

Now with multiple examinations administered, the ABHRS exam stands as the ONLY psychometrically and statistically validated examination dedicated to the specialty of hair restoration surgery.

We recommend that when choosing your surgeon for your hair replacement procedures that you see if they are involved with the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery.

Patients from MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic

At Tempus Hair Restoration, our expertise in treating patients with traumatic hair loss and hair loss caused by cancer is being recognized by some of the major medical institutions in the United States. This past month we treated two patients who had radiation treatment to their scalps for brain tumors. These patients found Dr. Barusco from referrals from MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic. “I am proud of my team for the excellent work that they do and for being recognized internationally by some of the leading medical institutions in the country. We are making a difference, one hair at a time,” stated Dr. Marco Barusco.

If you’ve had head trauma, you need advanced care and attention. Patients with special circumstances come from all over the world to Tempus Hair Restoration.

Why Trust Dr. Barusco to Treat Hair Loss from Trauma

Dr. Barusco is not just a hair restoration specialist; he is a board certified surgeon. With a strong background in performing complicated procedures that hide scars and other injuries, Dr. Barusco understands the impact trauma creates and applies the utmost caution and care to your treatment.

That is why other hair transplant doctors and medical institutions refer patients to him!

Things to Keep In Mind

If you or a loved one is experiencing hair loss after trauma to your head, be sure to do your research. Don’t trust just any hair restoration clinic. Make sure there is a surgeon performing the procedure. Often other practices use non-medically trained technicians to perform the procedures. You don’t want that! You need a medical professional’s expertise to avoid any potential harm to sensitive areas that may still be healing. You also need a surgeon who understands your delicate needs. Many times Dr. Barusco will request additional testing to be sure you’re body is ready for the procedure.

So many patients with special needs place their trust in Tempus Hair Restoration because Dr. Barusco personally performs every procedure himself. He gives you his undivided attention and does not treat multiple patients at a time. He is supported by a surgical team that has been working together for over 12 years, so you get the care of professionals who have treated many patients with similar needs. We are also the only practice in Florida to offer consultations in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

So if you have experienced trauma to your head and are looking around for hair restoration, look into scheduling a free consultation with Dr. Barusco with Tempus Hair Restoration. You’ll be glad you did your research and put your head in Dr. B’s hands!
