Nationally Recognized Hair Loss Expert, Alan J. Bauman, M.D., to Speak at 24th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine

Dr. Bauman will present on "Hair Loss and Hormone Replacement: Stratagems for Managing Androgenetic Alopecia in the Presence of Androgen Replacement," at the May 20-21 event in Hollywood, Florida.

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) May 17, 2016

Nationally recognized hair loss expert, Alan J. Bauman, M.D., will be a featured presenter at the 24th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine on May 20-21 at The Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, Florida.

Dr. Bauman will be presenting on "Hair Loss and Hormones: Stratagems for Managing Androgenetic Alopecia in the Presence on Androgen Replacement." The presentation, which is addressed to anti-aging physicians and practitioners, will explore how androgen replacement therapy may trigger, or speed up, hair loss in patients who are androgen sensitive, and offer guidelines for patients, age-management physicians and others who prescribe HRT.

While androgen replacement therapy using testosterone is effective at reversing low testosterone, or low-T, it has been found to put some men, and even some women, at a higher risk for another unwanted sign of aging: accelerated hereditary hair loss. In the body, testosterone is naturally converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the well-known primary trigger for hereditary male pattern hair loss.

While some male patients may have a higher risk for hair loss, Dr. Bauman urges them not to be dissuaded from undergoing low-T therapy and those being treated not to discontinue therapy until they've talked to a hair restoration specialist. "What is so important for patients, and doctors, to understand is that with today's advancements in the medical management of hair loss, and the preventative treatments available, patients don't have to choose between the benefits of hormone therapy and their hair," Bauman explained. "The bottom line is, while certain hormone therapy may put men at an increased risk of hair loss, if proper preventative measures are started early, a significant amount of hair loss can be avoided."

Three Steps for Preventing Hair Loss During Hormone Replacement

  •     Risk Assessment - Family history, signs of hair loss, dermoscopy, and genetic testing are some of the indicators used to determine one's hair loss risk. New diagnostic tools and monitoring methods, such as trichometry measurements (HairCheck®), and scalp microscopic photos, are also used during a risk assessment prior to treating patients with androgen replacement.
  •     Treatment Options – Finateride, dutasteride, and nutraceuticals can be used to block the effects of androgen. However, there are also many effective non-hormone related treatment options available for patients, such as minoxidil, bimatoprost, laser therapy, and PRP (platelet rich plasma). For patients looking for permanent results, hair transplantation through no scalpel/no-stitch harvesting with NeoGraft FUE or the ARTAS robotic-assisted hair transplantation technique can provide natural-looking, permanent hair regrowth.
  •     Tracking and Follow-Up – As with any medical treatment, progress should be monitored to ensure optimal results. Hair growth can be tracked through cross-section bundle trichometry and hair caliber and density measurements, if patient isn't achieving optimal results, treatment regimen can be adjusted accordingly.

    • Dr. Bauman's presentation will also include new diagnostic and monitoring methods, such as genetic testing, cross sectional bundle trichometry measurements (HairCheck®), and scalp microscopic photos. He will also discuss treatment stratagems specifically for patients undergoing hormone replacement therapy that includes testosterone, such as nutraceuticals, topical medications, oral/systemic medications, low level laser therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), FUE & ARTAS hair transplantation, and recommended tracking, compliance and follow-up scheduling.

    For practitioners interested in learning more about the medical management of hair loss, and how to identify those at risk, Dr. Bauman offers a 3-day workshop. In addition to the medical management of hair loss, the workshop provides education, knowledge and detailed instructions on how to perform scientific "scalp makeovers" using trichology evaluations and customized treatments for scalp health.

But while your hair is probably the last thing on your mind, it is part of an issue that not enough people talk about: postpartum hair loss. Dr. Heather Hawthorne, MD and board-certified family physician at Doctor On Demand, spoke to POPSUGAR about postpartum hair loss, which affects a lot more women than most people realise. What Is Postpartum Hair Loss? During pregnancy, a lot of women may start to feel like Rapunzel due to their hair growing so fast and strong that you feel it could hoist a handsome prince up a tower (wouldn't that be great?).

    A Breakthrough for Hair Loss! PGD2 and Natural Ways to Regrow Your Hair

    In 2012, the dermatology departments of the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University generated a lot of buzz around a potential "miracle cure" for baldness. The big discovery? A relationship between prostaglandin D2 (a fatty acid derivative) and male pattern baldness, and hair loss in women. The researchers demonstrated, for the first time in humans, that a lipid derivative called prostaglandin D2 was elevated in balding areas – but not in hair-bearing areas – of men with hair loss. More importantly, they also discovered that prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair lengthening. The more prostaglandin D2 present, the shorter a hair grows. The team suggested that by maybe inhibiting prostaglandin D2 in the scalp, hair loss might be stopped. And that got a lot of hair loss sufferers (and pharmaceutical companies) excited. Prostaglandin-D2 inhibitors were already in trials as a treatment for asthma. It wouldn't be hard to develop a topical for men&#

    6 Ways to Stop Hair Loss, According to Science

    Here are the best ways to keep what you've got. (Getty) Statistics show that by the age of 35, around 66 percent of men lose a considerable amount of hair, and by 55, 85 percent of men have significant hair loss...by which I mean bald or balding. I'm really sorry, but that means there's a giant chance you're either going to go completely bald, or at least partially.  And even though it's not the end of the world if (or when) you lose your hair, it's certainly not pleasant to go through, and it can take a huge shit on your self-esteem. Life is mean, isn't it? However, if it's any consolation, it's actually been scientifically proven that women totally dig bald dudes and get all hot in the panties for them, because they see baldies as smarter, more dominant, and overall way sexier than men who still have a perfect head of hair.  But if that's not enough solace to make you come to terms with going bald, there are some science-backed ways to try a
