Growing older can bring some challenging changes. Daisy and Mockarena “Mock” from 93.1 WIBC’s radio show Chicks on the Right are not shy talking about the challenges they faced with changing menopausal hormones and thyroid problems in their middle age. Thinning hair and female pattern baldness are common symptoms that come with menopause and those who suffer from thyroid issues. “I have always hated my fine thin hair. It simply won’t grow past my shoulders,” says Mock. That’s why Daisy and Mock are headed to Transitions of Indiana to restore their hair with laser hair therapy and scalp treatments. This FDA approved hair growth solution uses low-level “cold laser” to strengthen and repair hair and promote hair growth. Over time with laser hair therapy, you can achieve thicker, fuller, shiner, and healthier hair. Both hosts agree they are, “so stoked we found Transitions!”

We mostly associate hair loss in women with cancer patients, but for Karen things were a little different. Karen suffered from Lupus. Lupus is an auto immune disease that attacks the tissues and organs inside your body. People that suffer from lupus will experience “flare ups” which occur when signs and symptoms get worse for a period of time. Unfortunately, hair thinning and hair loss is a side effect of lupus which led Karen to look for solutions. Karen came across Transitions.

After her analysis, Karen was “reassured and made to feel hopeful” knowing that laser hair therapy was the solution for her. The purpose of laser therapy is to stimulate cellular function. It stimulates the body’s biological mechanisms, which help promote growth, and repairs the scalp at the cellular level.

Karen began her treatment aggressively, coming in three times a week. She saw fast results, but had to take a break once she began her chemotherapy. During her chemo, she continued to use her laser headband to keep up with her treatment. Karen was thrilled that she didn’t lose any of her hair during her treatment. “The results stayed and I didn’t lose any of my progress.” Now Karen has her hair back! Whether you are losing hair due to Lupus, cancer, or simply thinning, Transitions of Indiana is here to help you every step of the way and make you feel comfortable getting ready in the morning.

Stress is a well-known contributor to hair loss. Is it the origin of the saying “I’m pulling my hair out”? We don’t really know for sure… But what we do know is that stress is associated with three different types of hair loss.

The first type of hair loss associated with high stress levels is Telogen Effluvium. In Telogen Effluvium, pronounced TEL-o-jun uh-FLOO-vee-um, significant stress levels push large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase. Within just a few months the affected follicles can get to the point that they simply fall out while brushing or washing your hair.

The second type of hair loss associated with stress is Trichotillomania. Pronounced trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh this type of hair loss causes an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. This can be caused by and done to cope with feelings of stress, tension, boredom, loneliness, or other such negative feelings.

The third type of hair loss associated with stress is Alopecia Areata. Pronounced al-o-PEE-she-uh- ar-e-A-tuh this type of hair loss has a host of contributing factors, including severe stress. With Alopecia Areata the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing them to fall out.

Hair loss can be stressful, which can lead to a vicious cycle of more hair loss. Call Transitions of Indiana today to put an end to your hair loss and your stress! Come in for a free hair and scalp analysis and we will go over what the cause of your hair loss is and what specific treatments we can provide that will best treat your specific needs.

Call us today at 317-522-2991 or visit us online at Transitionsindy.com to schedule your free hair and scalp analysis. Together we can grow your hair back, give you back your confidence, and help reduce your stress. You’ll never have to worry about your hair again.

Losing hair is normal. According to WedMD, a person can lose up to 50-100 strands daily. However, if you start noticing your hair thinning on your temples and crown, you may be losing more hair than normal.

Hair loss is caused by many factors we face, are exposed to, or are born with. The following categories are the main components of hair loss in men and women.

v Hereditary- Hereditary hair loss is common within individuals who have a family history of hair loss. One of the most common types of hereditary hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, commonly known male or female pattern baldness.

v Medical Conditions- Medical conditions like thyroid disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome and even pregnancies can cause hair loss. Usually with most medical conditions there is an imbalance of hormones which causes your body to react.

§ For most women experiencing hormonal imbalances, the body over produces testosterone, the male androgen hormone responsible for facial and body hair. Too much testosterone in the body cause the hormone to convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks the hair follicles and stops them from growing.

v Hair Essentials- Hair essentials like the products we use or the hairstyles we try can cause hair loss.

§ Simple products like the shampoos or conditioners can be highly concentrated with sulfate, a chemical that can dry and damage hair follicles. Most hair products don’t contain the valuable vitamins and minerals necessary for hair growth.

§ Hair styles are also a big contributor to hair loss, especially if they’re styled tight. Traction alopecia or the pulling of hair is common with tight hairstyles such as pony tails and braids.

Hair falls out for a number of reasons. It can be hereditary, a medical condition or just how you wear or treat it. No matter the reason, Transitions of Indiana can help regrow or replace your hair. We utilize the latest procedures such as laser treatments and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to give you natural-looking results.

Transitions of Indiana is proud to offer Platelet Rich Plasma, the latest scientific development for hair restoration. Both women and men struggling with thinning hair can now take advantage of this new procedure, allowing for fuller and thicker hair.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, known as PRP Therapy, is a hair restoration procedure. This non-surgical procedure contains two key factors, platelets and plasma, that are essential for the hair growth and healing process.

1. Platelets- Platelets contain proteins, called growth factors, that can strengthen and energize the hair follicles production of nutrients for creating new strands of hair.

2. Plasma- The plasma contains several components that can assist and heal the body from burns, swelling, infections and more. Plasma helps the body maintain a healthy state.

How does PRP work?

The procedure begins with a small blood sample taken from the patient. The sample is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood into three layers-blood plasma, leukrocytes (white blood cells) and platelets, and red blood cells. The first two layers are extracted from the sample tube and injected onto the patient’s affected areas in the scalp.

What are the benefits of PRP Therapy?

PRP Therapy is a quick and easy procedure with clinically proven results. Your hair can grow back thicker and stronger and the chances of having thinning hair can be eliminated. This painless treatment is effective and can be paired with hair transplant procedures like the ARTAS® Robotic FUE Hair Transplant. When combined together, PRP Therapy and ARTAS® strengthen the hair restoration process by promoting a quicker and more effective healing process, providing long-lasting results, and can supply hair follicles with double the cellular activity and nutrients for sufficient hair growth.

Thinning hair is often the first step to major hair loss. Settling for thin strands of hair and slight bald patches doesn’t have to be an option. At Transitions of Indiana, we have various hair restoration services that can help you get the hair you want. Just like PRP Therapy, we also have Hair Replacement and Laser Hair Therapy services. Our highly trained staff is committed to guide you through every step of the process and ensure you get the results you desire.

Baby, it’s cold outside! As we prepare for this season’s most brutal winds, we must not forget to take care of our hair. In the winter, our hair is exposed to harsh winds and often without the proper protection. From dry roots to damaged ends, this winter season will not be a good friend to our hair.

However, we all don’t want to be confined to our homes all day just to protect our hair. We all want healthy hair every day, anytime, during any season, as we go out. Here are the top-three tips to keep your hair healthy and strong while going out around town this season, particularly dry hair and scalp.

Deep Condition & Moisturize

Harsh winds deplete the oils and nutrients our hair produces for growth and health. A nice deep condition every week replenishes the nutrients back in. After a deep condition, moisturizing your hair with natural oils, such as Argan or lavender, may reduce the dryness of your scalp and split ends as well as aids in the production and flow of nutrients in the hair follicles.

Frequent Warm Showers

During the winter months, your hair may not need to be washed every day. For those with an oily scalp, you should wash your hair 2-3 times a week. For those with less oil, once a week is recommended.

Avoid washing your hair in hot water. Though it may seem relaxing, hot water will dry your hair and scalp causing flakiness. Instead, opt for a warm, and if you’re brave, a cold shower.

Also, it’s very important that you never leave the house with wet hair. The winds will further damage your hair making it brittle, dry and flat.

The Ultimate Hairbrush

Using the right hairbrush is essential to maintaining healthy locks. The number of bristles on a brush or comb are important when detangling or styling. Wide tooth combs are great for detangling wet hair. The vented brush is great to use for blow-drying as it prevents heat damage. Check out seventeen.com's top-ten best hairbrushes for all types of hair textures.

Having healthy hair is a priority. Following these tips can help protect your hair from the cold winter and seasons to come. We all want healthy hair, so let’s take a moment to care for it!

Recently, WISH TV's Indy Style program interviewed a real Transitions of Indiana hair restoration client along with her hair restoration specialist, Melissa Green to show off Jennifer's amazing results with Laser Hair Therapy and PRP treatments. Watch the video here to see for yourself just how Transitions of Indiana is helping men and women restore their hair.

Jennifer was experiencing post-partum hair loss and thinning after her pregnancy, which can happen to many women due to the increase in hormones. Jennifer was also pre-disposed to experience hair loss due to genetics and her concerns had her explore her options and see if it really was possible to grow her hair back.

Jennifer scheduled a free hair and scalp analysis at Transitions of Indiana. Jennifer's hair and scalp condition was analyzed and a treatment plan was suggested. Jennifer was a good candidate for both Laser Hair Therapy and PRP Treatments.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, a new scientific breakthrough in hair restoration. The client's own blood platelets, collected from a blood sample is spun in a centrifuge. The Platelet Rich Plasma is then combined with A-Cell and injected into the unhealthy areas of the scalp. Melissa explains, “A-Cell is an activator that is introduced to a person’s platelets prior to the injection. This attracts other stem cells to the area of concern for the biggest, possible boost.”

The result is thicker,fuller hair. On Indy Style, it's quite evident how well this procedure has improved Jennifer's hair line and thinning in her temple area. Laser Hair Therapy has also contributed to the overall improvement and both procedures are FDA approved as safe and effective.

Jennifer has been receiving Laser Hair Therapy on a regular basis, stating, “I came in two-three times a week and sat under a laser which didn’t hurt at all. It’s actually pretty relaxing. I did it on my lunch break or on the weekends. I’m super happy with the results and I’m still going.”

The process is very easy, lasting approximately 30 minutes per session. Low level laser light is on the client's scalp to help break up and harmful DHT, a hormone that can clog hair follicles and also "wake up" hair follicles that are lying in a dormant state. Melissa explains how it works saying that, “It stimulates your hair follicles based on blood supply. It shifts the hair from a dormant cycle to the growing phase, where the hair is functioning again.”

After 2 months, Jennifer is proud and happy to show off her results. She no longer has to worry or feel self conscious about thinning hair. At Transitions of Indiana, we can help you too!

Whether you are suffering from female pattern baldness, genetic hair loss, or medical conditions like Alopecia and Lupus, there can be a hair restoration solution for you. Transitions is committed to giving each client the results they are hoping for. Learn about your options by scheduling a free, private hair and scalp analysis with Transitions.
