Sara Wasserbauer, M.D. Uses Facebook to Give Away Hair Transplant

California man and professional speaker with male pattern baldness says hair transplant will make him feel more secure about his looks

Dec 2010

One lucky California resident, Matthew Barrazza just received a big pre-holiday gift thanks to the power of Facebook and Bay Area hair restoration surgeon, Sara Wasserbauer, M.D. Wasserbauer recently launched her Facebook page by offering a free hair transplant.

Fans were invited to submit their hair loss stories and share how hair restoration would impact their life. Dr. Wasserbauer narrowed the received entries down to three finalists, then the power of Facebook took over and fans were invited to vote for the finalist they wished to see receive the free hair transplant procedure (a $12,500 value).

Barrazza, a wellness promoter, speaker, and professional fighter athlete, experienced significant hair loss due to his own genetic disposition also known as androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness. His own hair loss was also accelerated due to overtraining and stress.

“The hair transplant offered by Dr. Wasserbauer will provide me with the opportunity to look and feel better about my appearance,” said Barrazza. “As a professional speaker, I am talking with big groups all the time, but my inhibition about my hair loss is my biggest insecurity. I appreciate all of the Facebook fans who voted for me to have this wonderful opportunity and look forward to seeing the results.”

Dr. Wasserbauer and Barrazza will be chronicling the hair transplant process and his hair growth progress on Facebook and her website – CaliforniaHairSurgeon.com.

Hair loss can affect men and women and can occur at any age. While genetics is the most common cause of hair loss, other medical conditions can also cause hair loss. Hair loss can negatively affect self-esteem, but unfortunately, cost can be the factor that prevents a person from permanently resolving their hair loss.

“Many people experience hair loss,” said Dr. Wasserbauer. “This promotion is something I’ve wanted to do for awhile and social media allowed me the perfect platform to give away a free hair transplant procedure like this. I’m looking forward to working with Matt and helping improve his hair loss, and in turn his confidence in his appearance.”
