Back to all articles Stop Hair Loss Before It Gets Too Far Why is waiting to do something about hair loss a bad idea? In a word: Progression. Stop hair loss before it gets too far. Miniaturized hairs are a telltale sign of advancing hair loss. Without a proactive treatment, many miniaturized hairs will fall out prematurely a never return. Studies show that many people lose 50% of their hair before actually noticing that they’ve lost any hair at all. These pictures show the progression of untreated hair loss in one short year. These photos document hair loss that could have been prevented. PAI uses video microscopy to identify the presence of miniaturized hairs, low hair density, problematic skin conditions, and other factors that contribute to thinning hair. Once a patient’s hair health has been analyzed, recommendations can be made as to the best solution for hair loss management and hair restoration. There are several FDA-approved and clinically proven nonsurgical options to combat the negative effects of genetic hair loss, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and enhanced plasma therapy. In addition to preventative solutions, PAI offers hair restoration solutions as well. Just because you’ve let your hair loss go on longer than you should have doesn’t mean you can’t once again have a full head of hair. Take the next step to look & feel your best again! We’d love to help you with your hair restoration goals. If you’d like more information, or to set up a FREE consultation to meet with one of our trained professionals to discuss your concerns and hair loss treatment options, please fill out your email address here.

Back to all articles The Science of Hair Loss: Causes and Treatments for Alopecia The science behind hair loss and hair restoration might seem complex, but it doesn’t have to be a mystery. In this blog, we’re breaking down the basics, including causes and treatments for alopecia. If you want to get to the root of your specific hair loss issue, schedule a free hair and scalp analysis with our expert team. What is alopecia? The term “alopecia” is widely used in the hair restoration industry, but it’s still often underestimated and under-explained. Alopecia simply means hair loss, but there are many kinds of alopecia with a variety of different causes. Identifying the root cause of someone’s hair loss problem is important because it will affect what kind of treatment suits a client best. What causes alopecia? Like we mentioned, there are several reasons someone may experience hair loss. A few things that might cause alopecia include: Hereditary loss Age Illness Hormones Autoimmune disorders Damage to the follicle This list might seem daunting. After all, a few of these causes are hard to avoid. However, these causes don’t prevent hair loss treatment with proven hair restoration techniques. What are the different types of alopecia? Alopecia is an umbrella term for many different kinds of hair loss, including: Androgenetic Alopecia Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common form of Alopecia, affecting 50% of men and 35% of women worldwide. It might result in baldness at the front, top, and crown of the scalp. That’s because the hair in those areas isn’t permanent hair, while hair along the occipital ridge (the lower, back part of your head) is permanent. Hair loss on those top areas of the scalp begins when the hormone testosterone is activated to a skin enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Once merged, dihydrotestosterone is created at the base of the follicle. But what does that mean, exactly? This process cuts off essential blood flow and nutrients that a hair needs to grow. If it’s left untreated, permanent balding occurs. Alopecia Areata Alopecia Areata is a form of hair loss that develops in patches and occurs suddenly. This form of alopecia is actually an autoimmune disease, which occurs when the body attacks its own hair follicles. The size of the hair loss areas varies and can spread rapidly. Alopecia Totalis A form of Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis affects the follicles of the scalp. Someone with this type of alopecia may lose all of the hair on their head. Alopecia Universalis Alopecia Universalis is also a form of alopecia areata, where all follicles on the body are affected. This includes hair loss affecting the eyebrows, arms, legs, armpits, and more. Traction Alopecia Traction Alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by the overuse of tight hairstyles. Pulling and tension causes a follicle to become weak and eventually die from lack of blood supply to the area. Can alopecia be treated? While it may sound hard to get to the root of the issue with so many varieties of alopecia, it can be treated. Different forms of alopecia just require different treatment options. What are the treatment options for alopecia? Hair transplant procedures, like Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ or ARTAS Robotic FUE, offer promising results for androgenetic alopecia. Some forms of alopecia, like those related to autoimmune disorders, are better suited to non-surgical hair replacement options. While there are many reasons for hair loss, treatment options are available. Schedule a consultation to learn how you can restore your hair.

Back to all articles The Difference Between Male and Female Hair Loss Hair loss is a common condition that affects both men and women. While men and women may both experience hair loss, the underlying causes and patterns of hair loss can differ significantly between the sexes. One major difference between male and female hair loss is the pattern of hair loss. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in men. It is characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of the hair on the top and crown of the head. Male pattern baldness is thought to be influenced by hormones, particularly the male hormone testosterone. If you’re considering a hair transplant, here is a glimpse into the process: Female pattern baldness, also known as female androgenetic alopecia, is similar to male pattern baldness, but the hair loss is typically less dramatic and more diffuse. Women with female pattern baldness may notice thinning of the hair on the top of the head, but the hairline typically does not recede. Other differences between male and female hair loss include the causes and triggers of hair loss. For example, menopause and pregnancy can cause temporary hair loss in women, while stress and certain medications can trigger hair loss in both men and women. Whether you are experiencing female or male pattern baldness, we have a solution for you! If you are interested in learning more about why you might be experiencing hair loss, or seeking a solution to your hair loss, you can schedule a free consultation to speak with one of our Hair Loss Specialists. For more information, call 317-522-2995 or schedule a free consultation with us. When you schedule a free consultation at We Grow Hair Indy, you’re meeting with a consultant who has experienced hair loss themselves. Our consultants will compassionately guide you through all of the available hair restoration options so you can decide which treatment is best suited for your needs.

Back to all articles Laser Hair Therapy: Differences Between Light Energies: Cold Low-Level Laser vs. LED Both laser and LED hair therapies rely on being able to deliver an adequate amount of energy to the target tissue in order to precipitate a photochemical process known as photo biomodulation. PBM is a nonthermal process involving endogenous chromophores eliciting photophysical and photochemical events at various biological scales. Some processes that are impacted include, but are not limited to, the alleviation of pain or inflammation, immunomodulation, and promotion of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Both sources of light share the same mechanism of action and are both commonly generated using diode technology. When used and studied in therapeutic applications, both lasers and LEDs are often built to emit similar wavelengths, either in the red or near-infrared spectrum, and have been shown to have inflammatory reduction properties. Significant differences between the two do exist, however; including the power generated, the specificity of wavelength, and the physical characteristics of the beam generated from the diode. Laser light is unique, in that it is monochromatic, coherent, and collimated. These traits make it well-suited to many medical applications. The monochromatic, or single wavelength, beam is ideal for stimulating chromophores in biological tissue that only respond to very specific wavelengths. Coherent photons are organized where non-coherent photons are not. This property is important to minimize photon scatter as light interacts with tissue. Lastly, since injured tissue is normally deep in the body, laser’s columnated beam helps focus energy in a narrow, direct path which is ideal for treating tissues at depth. LEDs usually emit light in a small band of wavelengths (~20 nm wide) but cannot emit a single specified wavelength (~1 nm wide). This bandwidth impacts their ability to dial in the wavelength to optimally target desired tissues. Additionally, LEDs produce neither a collimated nor coherent beam, which is less ideal when treating deeper tissues. Lastly, LED’s operate at significantly lower power (wattage) than most lasers, which impacts their ability to reach deeper tissues in smaller windows of time. When trying to target deeper tissues, wavelength is a critical variable that can play a significant role in the light’s ability to penetrate tissue. But it is not the only determining factor in therapeutic effectiveness. Power is a second variable that also plays a large role in determining both proper use and consistency of outcomes for light-based therapies. Lasers are generally capable of producing much higher powers than LEDs, which significantly impacts their ability to reach deeper tissues, especially for hair regeneration purposes. This is due to the concept of therapeutic depth, which involves getting an adequate amount of photonic energy to injured tissue to have a photo biomodulation effect. Since a significant amount of light is lost as it passes through tissue, having more initial power at the surface improves the modality’s ability to provide adequate amounts of energy at depth. LEDs often get a lot of initial attention because they are much cheaper than laser technology. Lasers used to treat deep tissue (that offer a wider range of power), however, give providers the most flexibility in terms of treatment capabilities as they can be used to treat both superficial and deep conditions, while reactivating cellular response to grow hair. Hair Restoration experts have found that the use of low level laser energy is superior to the treatment of hair loss due to the depth of the light and the ability to heal and replenish at the cellular level.

Back to all articles August Featured Client – Amazing 8 Month ARTAS Robotic FUE Hair Transplant Results – Nick Growing up in Greenwood IN, Nick always took great pride in his hair. With this in mind you can only imagine his angst when, at only 18 years old, he noticed that his hair line started to retreat. “I just resorted to different ball caps…” was one of Nicks comments. He decided he wasn’t prepared to stand by and watch his hair disappear, so he decided to seek help and found is way to PAI / WeGrowHairIndy.com. Nick had an ARTAS Robotic FUE hair transplant procedure with us almost a year ago! The ARTAS procedure is the most advanced FUE hair transplant method in the world and eliminates the human error factor, a common issue with FUE procedures done without the accuracy and reproducibility of the ARTAS Robot. The ARTAS system harvests follicles for transplantation using several advanced algorithms and ensures that the last follicle harvested is of equal quality to the first. Below you can watch Nick’s ARTAS FUE hair transplant procedure from start to finish.

Back to all articles Jack Trudeau’s Story: Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ Jack Trudeau played professional football for 10 seasons from 1986 to 1995. Even though Jack’s playing days are over, he continues to be in the public eye, with appearances on both television and radio. It was obvious to Jack that his appearance was more important than ever. According to a recent article in Men’s Health Magazine, an estimated 50 million American men experience genetic hair loss. Unfortunately, Jack was one of those men. After conducting extensive research and weighing his various options, Jack decided to move forward with PAI Medical Group of Indiana (WeGrowHairIndy.com). Jack had his hair transplant (Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™) procedure completed by Dr. Jeffrey Waesche at PAI Medical Group’s Indianapolis clinic in March 2011. Here is an excerpt of an interview completed with Jack after his procedure was completed: Q: Why did you want your hair back? A: I looked in the mirror and I thought I looked older. … I don’t want to look older. It was for personal reasons. I’m in a business where if you look older, you don’t get jobs. I want to look young. Q: Why PAI Medical Group? A: The thing I like about PAI is that they are very professional, and they do a great job. I had a lot of apprehension, and they made me feel really comfortable. They talked me through the process and what was going to happen. Q: What are the advantages of PAI’s Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ ? A: (In) the old days, it would take them four or five grafts and you would have to go in and have your hair done four or five times, and I didn’t want any part of that. I want one and done, get me in, take care of me, and get me out of there. PAI is the best at that! Q: Did you have concerns before the procedure? A: I was worried my friends were gonna laugh at me. That was my biggest concern, no joke. (The) reality is (that) no one really even knows when you’re doing it. It pretty much goes on not talked about. For me, anyway, I knew it was the right thing to do. I know when I go in for a job interview, I can go talk to somebody and, if they think I’m old, that’s not gonna matter. Q: How were you treated by PAI Medical Group? A: It went very well, and they were very easy to be around. At no point in the process from the time I got there to the time I actually went in for the procedure did I feel like, ” This is wrong, I have to leave.” They answered all my questions, and that was very important. Q: Did you have any pain or discomfort? A: My opinion of the procedure going in was that it was going to hurt a lot more than it did. It didn’t hurt much, even afterward. There was something that I was surprised about the hair; … it takes awhile for your hair to grow in, but that’s part of the procedure. When it comes in, you just go, “WOW. Awesome!” Q: What would you tell others? A: If I were talking to a friend who looked like he needed to have his hair done, … I would tell him to go to PAI. They’ll make it simple, they’ll take care of you, and they make you feel comfortable. In spite of all your apprehensions, when you’re done, you’ll be thrilled you got it done with PAI. Q: What do others say about your results? A: I’ve started to get people making comments. I was at a funeral the other day—I hate funerals—but I saw some people I hadn’t seen in 15 or 20 years. I’ve got friends who are bald, have gained weight, and look different, but I had more than a few that said, “God, you look exactly the same as you did in college!” Q: How do you feel now? A: I have new hair in the front. I was very happy when the new hair started growing in, and you start looking in the mirror, and you go, “That guy’s not as old.” … I am very happy.
