As Seen on The TODAY Show: Dr. Alan J. Bauman Spotlights the Power—and Pitfalls—of Laser Therapy for Hair Loss
Nationally Recognized Hair Restoration Surgeon Warns Against Cheap Laser Cap Knock-Offs, Highlights Physician-Grade TURBO LaserCap for Hair Growth Co-Developed with MIT Optical Physicist, Harvard Researcher and LaserCap Inventor
BOCA RATON, Fla., May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a nationally televised segment on NBC's TODAY, world-renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr. Alan J. Bauman discussed the rising popularity of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for hair regrowth—while sounding the alarm about the significant differences between physician-grade laser devices and inexpensive consumer knock-offs.With over 35,000 patients treated and more than 13,000 hair transplant procedures performed, Dr. Bauman is a board-certified hair restoration physician widely regarded as one of the world's top experts in the field. During the interview, he highlighted the Bauman TURBO LaserCap, a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared device for at-home hair regrowth that he co-developed with a Harvard photomedicine researcher and the original inventor of the LaserCap.
'Not all laser caps are created equal,' Dr. Bauman emphasized. 'Many of the cheaper caps online use LEDs or low-powered lasers and simply don't deliver the results patients are expecting. The TURBO LaserCap is engineered for performance, coverage, comfort, and speed—it's what I personally prescribe to patients who want effective, at-home hair regrowth.'What Makes the TURBO LaserCap Different?
>300 high-quality laser diodes
Fastest treatment time at just 5 minutes a day
Expanded coverage to 25% more area of the scalp than other at-home devices
Packs completely flat and easy to travel with
Longer battery life
Adjustable and customizable
Lifetime warranty
Designed and developed by a team of physicians, researchers and engineers.
More Than a Device—A Physician-Guided Protocol
At Bauman Medical, laser therapy is never a one-size-fits-all approach. The TURBO LaserCap is prescribed after a comprehensive evaluation using advanced diagnostic tools such as HairMetrix AI imaging, HairCheck measurements, and oftentimes TrichoTest genetic testing. It is often combined with other effective treatments like topical and oral prescriptions, nutraceuticals, and in-office procedures like PRP/Platelet-Rich Plasma, PDOgro™, or TED/TransEpidermal Delivery and Exosomes to maximize results. The TURBO LaserCap is also often utilized after hair transplantation to accelerate healing because of its ability to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation.

Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs sickens dozens of people across 7 states
More than 70 people across seven states have been sickened due to a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs recalled by a California-based egg distributor, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On Friday, the August Egg Company recalled 1.7 million dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs, sold under multiple brand names, that have the 'potential to be contaminated,' according to a recall notice from the US Food and Drug Administration. Of the 79 people sickened, 21 people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported, the CDC said. The eggs were sold to restaurants and retailers in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington and Wyoming, according to the CDC. They were distributed at retail locations including Walmart, Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs. Salmonella can 'cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,' according to the FDA. Salmonella can also cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain in healthy people who get infected. 'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time. Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens,' the company said in a statement provided to the FDA. 'It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens.' The company also said its internal food safety team is 'conducting its own stringent review' to identify future preventative measures. 'We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again,' the company said. The CDC recommends that anyone who has the recalled eggs in their home or business throw them out or return them to the store where they were purchased.

Botulism cases linked to Botox injections under investigation in Massachusetts
Massachusetts health officials are investigating four recent cases of suspected botulism connected to cosmetic injections of Botox. The outbreak on the South Shore prompted the Department of Public Health to warn health care providers to be alert about symptoms. consistent with botulism occurring after botulinum toxin injections. Botox is widely used for cosmetic purposes to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. 'While generally safe when administered by trained professionals, improper dosing, administration technique, or use of non-FDA-approved products may increase the risk of systemic botulism symptoms,' the DPH advisory said. Botulism, though rare, can be fatal. It occurs when botulinum toxin enters the bloodstream and can produce effects far from the injection site, according to the advisory. Initial botulism symptoms include double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and breathing problems, according to state health officials. These symptoms may progress to muscle weakness that worsens over hours to days. Anybody who is experiencing any symptoms should go to an emergency room. 'This is very rare,' South Shore Hospital infectious disease specialist Dr. Todd Ellerin told WCVB. 'We call it iatrogenic botulism, which means you get it as a complication of an injection. It is very rare.' The DPH has not released details about the condition of the four individuals involved in the South Shore cases or information about the provider or facility where they received their injections.
