Tempus Hair Restoration in Port Orange, Fla., helps both men and women who are experiencing hair loss. Untreated hair loss is a relentless process; fortunately, expert treatment can often restore lost hair and improve the condition of the remaining hair. Tempus Hair Restoration offers cutting-edge procedures and treatments to help clients with hair loss, providing them with a more youthful appearance.

Board-certified hair restoration surgeon Dr. Marco Barusco and his family founded Tempus Hair Restoration. Dr. Barusco completed training in general surgery in Brazil and then moved his family to the United States, where he gained experience working with top hair restoration surgeons. Dr. Barusco himself grew up in a family with a history of hair loss, and his experience as a patient has produced a special empathy for his clients.

Dr. Barusco has been certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration since 2001, and he currently functions as an examiner for the Board. He is active in mentoring, medical writing, research, lecturing, teaching and providing live surgery demonstrations. Dr. Barusco works with a carefully chosen team of experts which shares his priorities and his goals of superb patient care and natural results.

Dr. Barusco has presented research demonstrating that hairs grow better when kept in their follicular units, groupings generally containing from one to four hairs. Tempus Hair Restoration is notable for providing only grafts of intact follicular units. This type of follicular unit graft provides more natural results than other hair restoration methods.

One of the most common types of hair loss treated at Tempus Hair Restoration is male pattern hair loss. This hair loss results from a combination of hormonal damage to hair and genetic predisposition. Untreated male pattern hair loss gets worse with time. Dr. Barusco strives to restore lost hair, improve the appearance of the remaining hair and prevent further hair loss with medical, cosmetic and surgical solutions.

While women experience many different types of hair loss, female pattern hair loss is one of the most common. While the causes are similar to those of male pattern hair loss, this type of hair loss produces thinning of the hair rather than baldness. The entire scalp may be affected. Correct diagnosis and treatment will help prevent further hair loss and improve appearance.

Dr. Barusco offers a pro bono program designed to help those who cannot afford hair transplantation procedures to replace hair lost through radiotherapy, traumatic injury or skin diseases. Hair transplantation is effective in disguising hair loss and scars, and Dr. Barusco is the only Florida hair restoration physician to offer this special program.

Conditions that may benefit from hair transplantation include scalp and certain facial scars caused by trauma or neurosurgery and areas of hair loss caused by radiotherapy or dermatological conditions. Though these surgeries are lengthy and intricate, Dr. Barusco performs them free or at reduced cost because they so often transform the lives of his patients.
