From MIT and Harvard to hair medicine in Tel Aviv
Dr. Dana Buchbut graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University (M.D.) and also holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in health care management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the most prestigious universities in the world. This rare MD/MBA combination brings the clinic both medical depth and structured, results-focused thinking when building each patient's treatment plan.
She did her internship at Ichilov Hospital (Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center), went on to the Department of Dermatology at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, and in parallel worked as a physician at the Levinsky Dermatology and Venereology Clinic of the Ministry of Health. She gained further clinical experience at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School in the United States.
She trained in hair medicine with Dr. Christian Bisanga in Belgium and at hair transplant centers in Turkey, and in parallel completed studies in aesthetic medicine at Tel Aviv University. The turning point came from her patients: more and more of them returned from hair transplants abroad and asked her to protect the new hair and strengthen their existing hair.
Dr. Dana loves technology and keeps up to date with every new development in hair medicine worldwide, bringing them to the clinic herself. The combination of top-level medical and management education, international experience and constant learning about new technology is what made hair medicine her main field and her passion.
"I want to crack every patient's case and give them exactly the treatment that will work for them."Dr. Dana Buchbut, in an interview with TheMarker
How Dr. Dana works
First we understand, then we treat
Every patient starts with a computerized trichoscopic examination of the scalp: measuring hair thickness, follicle density and the condition of the scalp. This shows exactly what is causing the hair loss, and it also lets us measure progress throughout treatment.
A personal plan that combines several methods
There is no single treatment that suits everyone. Dr. Dana builds a combination for each patient: blood concentrates such as PRP and iPRF, stem cells, Tricopat, mesotherapy, home treatment and medication, and she adds vitamin and mineral cocktails that nourish the follicle.
A clear treatment goal
Already at the first examination, Dr. Dana assesses whether and how much treatment is likely to help, and sets a personal treatment goal with you. When she does not expect treatment to succeed, she says so up front.
Treatment that is as comfortable as possible
Local anesthesia that wears off within about fifteen minutes, the option of treatment with nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), and an infrared vein finder that locates the vein on the first attempt when blood is drawn.
What Dr. Dana treats
What to bring to your first visit
- A list of the medications and supplements you take, with doses
- Blood tests from the past year, if you have them (for example ferritin, thyroid, vitamin D and B12)
- Details of previous hair treatments and when you had them
- Whether there is hair loss or baldness in your family
- Old photos of your hair from two to five years ago; they help a great deal in understanding the pace of change
Also at the clinic: skin and aesthetics
Alongside hair medicine, which is Dr. Dana's main field, the clinic also offers non-surgical, laser-free skin and aesthetic treatments, with a personal examination before every treatment and a plan that suits you.
