First Live Hair Transplant on YouTube

Dr. Alan Bauman, a leading hair transplant surgeon and
founder of Bauman Medical Group, will perform the first-ever hair
transplant broadcast live on YouTube on Friday, November 18.
YouTube Weblebrity Kevin Nalts Nalty, whose videos have been viewed
more than 240 million times, will be documented as he receives his
second hair transplant with Dr. Bauman on YouTubes new,
highly-anticipated interactive live webcast platform. The surgery
makes for compelling yet unlikely entertainment for the online
video giant that is also debuting new live channels from
celebrities like Tony Hawk, Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, Shaq and Rainn
Wilson. The event kicks off at approximately 10:00am EST when Dr.
Bauman will harvest individual hair follicles from the back of
Naltys scalp using the Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, method.
A second broadcast will take place at approximately 1:00pm EST,
where he will show how those follicles are carefully implanted into
Naltys scalp to produce a permanent, natural hairline. The 1:00pm
webcast will also include a live call-in QA segment hosted by
best-selling author and The Bald Truths radio talk show host,
Spencer Kobren. Bauman and Nalty already proved the appeal of
behind the scenes video of a transplant procedure, Dr. Bauman
transplanted 1,958 follicular units totaling nearly 5,000 hair
follicles on Nalty in 2009, and their videos documenting the event
have been viewed more than 250,000 times. The same year, Dr. Bauman
also participated in a live broadcast with Greg Benson, actor and
director with MediocreFilms, which became the most-watched live
hair transplant procedure in history, amid a flurry of emails,
blog-posts and tweets. Bauman and Nalty are anticipating even more
response to Fridays event as consumer interest in hair restoration
is higher than ever, and new techniques like NeoGraft FUE, which
will be used again for Naltys procedure, have made hair
transplantation a less invasive and less detectable option for the
estimated 100 million American men and women with thinning
hair.
