Famous on YouTube for his comedic short videos, Hollywood actor, writer, director and hair transplant recipient, Greg Benson of Mediocre Films, is turning his talents to hair loss education with renowned hair loss expert and hair transplant surgeon, Alan J. Bauman, M.D., in the hopes of reaching millions of hair loss sufferers via YouTube looking to maintain, enhance or restore their own living and growing hair.
"Greg Benson is a talented actor and director, and this project will have a positive impact on thousands of men and women who are suffering in silence and may not be aware that advanced medical treatments for hair loss are available," Dr. Bauman said. "The internet can be a treacherous place to find accurate medical information--especially when it comes to hair loss. These videos will play an important role in educating the general public about the latest effective hair restoration treatments, less invasive hair transplant procedures, and help dispel the outdated myths that all hair transplants are 'pluggy' and painful."
Going Viral: This past November, Benson's recent NeoGraft/FUE hair transplant surgery with Dr. Bauman became the most-watched live hair transplant in history when its webcast was viewed simultaneously by over 13,000 people via Stickam.com. During his procedure, Benson tweeted, texted and blogged as well as spent time answering caller's questions during a live online chat hosted by Spencer Kobren, founder of the American Hair Loss Association and best-selling author of "The Bald Truth."
"Greg Benson represents the sheer power of the digital age," says Mr. Kobren. "His efforts to educate hair loss sufferers through his personal experiences will profoundly impact the way millions view common male and female pattern baldness and its effective treatment. I applaud his willingness to put himself out there."
Following in the footsteps of his friend, fellow YouTube personality and Bauman patient, Kevin 'Nalts' Nalty, Benson has been vlogging about his hair loss and hair transplant procedure dating back to before his surgery. [A condensed playlist of Benson's hair-related videos can be found on YouTube entitled MediocreHair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N-hbhjnspU&feature=PlayList&p=FC2F8AC923784D23&index=0&playnext=1
The first video on Benson's main channel will be a light-hearted take on his hair transplant procedure, followed by several in-depth interviews with Dr. Bauman about hair loss, its medical treatment and new, less invasive hair transplant options like NeoGraft FUE.
"As modern-day Hair Restoration Physicians, we are fighting against decades of old-style 'hair plugs,' clinics with poor patient care, myths, misconceptions and snake-oil salesmen," Bauman said. "These videos leverage the power of social media, bringing the 'power to the people' and letting them discover that with a trained, caring professional on their side, hair loss is truly a medically-treatable condition."
The new hair loss education film series officially launch online on Friday, January 15th.

The key benefits of a NeoGraft FUE surgery:
????? Least invasive hair transplant available
????? No 'tell-tale' linear scar where the donor hair is harvested
????? Shorter, more comfortable recovery
????? No stitches to be removed
????? Less activity restrictions after surgery
????? Very short haircuts are possible after surgery
????? Transplants more than twice as many hair grafts in a single surgery as the previous manually-performed FUE surgery in the same amount of time
????? Reduces the need for additional surgeries by maximizing the follicles transplanted per FUE procedure
????? Can be used to touch-up, refine or repair old-style hair transplants
????? Can be used to camouflage linear or other scars from previous surgery
????? Allows for additional harvesting in patients with 'depleted' donor areas
????? May be used for body hair transplantation????

About Hair Loss and its Treatment:
60 Million men and 40 Million women in the U.S. are affected by hair loss or thinning hair. Hair loss can be influenced by illness, medications, stress, nutrition, age, hormonal changes and other factors, but over 95% of all hair loss is caused primarily by heredity which progressively develops over time into male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Once other causes have been excluded, Hair Restoration Physicians use a 'multi-therapy' approach to treat hereditary hair loss. A multi-therapy regimen typically includes a combination of fda-approved medications proven to safely stop or slow the progression of hair loss and hair transplantation, which redistributes permanent hair follicles into the thinning or balding areas. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical for the ultimate success of any hair restoration regimen, allowing the vast majority of hair loss suffers to successfully maintain, enhance and/or restore their own living and growing hair.????
