Want a quick and easy solution to restore your thinning or damaged hair? We followed our good friend Nikki Reed from 99.5 WZPL’s Smiley Morning Show to show you how she was able to regain fuller, healthier hair in 5 easy steps at Transitions of Indiana.

With laser hair therapy you just sit under the lasers and “let them work” but how exactly do the PRP treatments work? First, your blood is drawn using FDA approved PRP tubes which takes in 5x’s the concentration of blood, so you get richer plasma and much better results with just one tube! Next, the tube is put in a centrifuge to separate the healing components in your blood from the plasma. Then the separated platelets from your blood are injected into the scalp. At Transitions, we use “The Chiller” to apply cold air to soothe any sensitive areas so you remain comfortable throughout the process. “The Chiller is great! Zero mess, no pain. I looked the same walking out as I did walking in.” Niki said. The whole process, from drawing blood to application, only takes about 45 minutes and you can go on about your day afterwards. No downtime, no recovery. You could even come by for treatments on a lunch break! Watch Nikki’s video below to see and hear more about her experience with PRP.

In today's society, woman are portrayed to have hair. More than just having hair, they are portrayed to have sleek shiny hair, voluptuous thick hair, or straight healthy hair. So when the concept of a woman with thinning hair is brought up, it becomes an abstract topic for some. It becomes so abstract that most people would rather not even bring it up.

For Shani, being an actress put this same pressure on her. She was constantly in the spotlight. Appearance was everything when competing with other actresses. She started to notice that her hair was thinning and it began to affect both her personal and professional life. "I felt very insecure. I lost my self confidence. I didn't feel attractive, like I did before." A lot of woman don't believe they have a hair loss problem because they are embarrassed about addressing it. This gives woman the idea that any hair loss solutions aren't meant for them, because they "aren't meant to be there in the first place".

Shani had put off finding a solution to her hair loss. She had to get past the fact that her hair was thinning and that she had to do something about it. She finally got over her hurdle and had found Transitions of Indiana. During Shani's first visit to Transitions, she very uneasy. "I don't know if they could tell that I was interested and through the process of that I like apologized, didn't really think I needed to be there, you know. They started to tell me that, 'No we treat woman. Woman have these problems.' I just felt embarrassed I guess." In just six months, Shani's hair had transformed. She finally has the thick, healthy hair that she had been missing. Shani got more than just her hair back, she got her life back.

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.

Appearance can be a significant factor in deducing someone’s character. Appearance creates a physical façade and gives away personality cues of an individual. Personality is a derivative of the physical illustration that we choose to portray to others. Looking like a put together, confident individual in job interviews, while job hunting, or in social interactions can make you appear as someone who is successful.

So why is appearance such an important contributing factor to success? The way you dress and act reflects the overall image you create for yourself and can leave a good, or bad first impression. No employer is inclined to hire someone that doesn’t look like they can be taken seriously, or doesn’t present themselves in a respectable manner. Your hairstyle plays a critical role in having a respectable appearance.

Looking “polished” or “pulled together” is a professional’s most important physical asset. Well-managed, healthy hair suggests you care for yourself and take pride in your appearance. A study done by the Harvard Business Review suggested t
hat a common element of business leadership success was good hair. The study showed that if you take a great executive and give them a bad hairstyle perceived leadership effectiveness decreased significantly, while bad leaders that were given a new hairstyle saw a 22% to 38% increase in perceived leadership effectiveness over the course of 6 months. Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation, but if you think about the vast majority of successful business leaders you probably would find that most of them had really good hair.

Hair has powerful effects on who we are. When you look good, you certainly feel good. Next time you walk past the mirror, take a look and see if your hair is truly representing what you’re striving to be. Transitions of Indiana understands your self-image is important to who you are. We offer a variety of solutions for men and women that suffer from the effects of hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness.
