In reference to my affiliation with Image One in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am NOT part of their business, but strictly in a contractual agreement to perform their Hair Transplant surgeries. I am not an agent for Image One, nor am I in sponsorship of any products or other marketing programs, other than strictly Hair Transplant Surgery. […] I hope that this clears up any mis-understanding that you or your readers may have and I hope that you will remove my name from your website. Other than of course as a referral Physician for anyone interested in Hair Restoration Surgery.

As far as the operation and management at Image One in Lincoln, Nebraska I do not have any say in the operation of their business. I strictly provide surgical services for Image One and conduct only Hair Restoration Surgery at the Lincoln, Nebraska Location.
In reference to permanent hair removal systems, I personally recommend either electrolysis or laser hair removal with the EpiLight or LightSheer laser system by Coherent.
Thanks to Dr. Baxa for the clarification.

Image One Aesthetics site as: "Member American Medical Association." Dr. Baxa asked Image One to remove this in 2002, stating: "I am not currently a member of the AMA. I do have several organizations that I have either worked with or been a member of, for instance the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, etc. However, after a career in Medicine & Surgery of more than 15 years, I do not maintain membership in prior organizations. Thus even on my CV it clearly states ‘Past & Present’ affiliations. So you are correct, in that I am not currently a member of the AMA (as many MD’s are not due to dissatisfaction with the organization)." According to the AMA, Mark Baxa got his M.D. from University of Nebraska in 1986. His residency was at the Carolinas Medical Center in Emergency Medicine. His practice is near Charlotte, NC at 156 Lake Mist Dr, Belmont NC 28012 (704) 825-9591 or (704) 825-5940. He is "Director, Mid-Atlantic Surgical Services." Dr. Baxa sent the following correction: "Please note, this is NOT Mid Atlantic Surgical Services, ‘INC’ out of Lancaster, PA. My company, Mid-Atlantic Surgical Services or MASS is NOT incorporated. I do understand how this may have been confused." He’s also listed as a "Charter Member, International Society of Hair Transplantation," although there does not seem to be a web presence for this trade association.
