The Breakdown
Platelet Rich Plasma has been known to help improve healing. It has often been used to treat orthopedic injuries and utilized in other areas of medicine for years. Now the cutting edge technology of PRP is available at Transitions! PRP is commonly used today to help encourage hair growth without requiring surgery. PRP is an FDA approved all-natural approach. The process simply has blood being drawn from your arm and the platelets are separated from the blood cells through a centrifugation process. By being injected into the scalp, these platelets help reactivate select problem areas. The addition of A-Cell helps to attract other stem cells to the areas of concern in order to achieve the greatest level of growth.

The Benefits
A lot of women experience thinning of hair for distinct reasons. Medications, illness, chemicals, stress, and even pregnancy are all reasons as to why you may see a receding hairline. Whatever the reason may be finding a solution that suits you can often be challenging. Choosing PRP as your hair restoration method allows a preventative, or restorative supplement for the existing hair. What attracts more women to this process is the fact that it is non-surgical and can be done in short sessions as little to 30 minutes.



The Results
For Jennifer, hair loss was post-partum after having her first child. Pregnancy causes hormone levels to rise dramatically. Immediately after the baby is born those hormones try and drop back to their normal levels. Your hair tries and makes up for lost time by falling out in much bigger clumps than it normally does as these hormones are dropping. Jennifer's hair loss increased and seeking treatment became a priority for her. Transitions treatment plan: Laser Hair Therapy and PRP. In just two months, you could see major growth of hair in Jennifer’s temple area which was a noticeable problem area before. “I feel that this treatment can definitely help a lot of women who are possibly going through some other hormonal issues as well. I would definitely encourage somebody to at least come in for a consultation and learn what kind of solution they'd be a good fit for.” Towards the end of her treatment Jennifer had achieved the fuller, thicker, longer hair that she had been looking for.

You've probably seen our commercial about Platelet Rich PlasmaTherapy, also known as PRP Therapy. Its one of the most advanced hair restoration procedures today. PRP Therapy can non surgically restore your hair to be thicker and fuller than it was before. With this information, you probably have few questions regarding the procedure. Ask no more, your questions have been answered.

1.      How does PRP work and what are the benefits? The following are the steps taken for PRP Therapy:
(a)    Numbing cream is applied to the client's scalp.


(b)   A dermal roller is used for preparing the scalp for treatment


(c)    Blood is drawn from the client and then placed in a centrifuge


(d)   Inside the centrifuge, ACell is added to the blood sample. The blood separates into three layers, blood plasma, white blood cells and red blood cells.


(e)    Once the blood has been separated, the blood plasma is extracted and then injected into the targeted areas of the client’s scalp.



The benefits of PRP Therapy are great. The blood plasma has proteins called growth factors that help promote tissue growth and healing. It helps increase blood flow at the cellular level where the production of nutrients occurs. This helps new hair follicles grow stronger, fuller, and thicker.

2.      What is ACell and why is it important? ACell is what makes PRP Therapy at Transitions of Indiana different and better. ACell is a cellular regeneration product that helps repair damaged tissues. When combined with PRP Therapy, it helps the diminished hair follicles become stronger and healthier as well as stops the further progression of hair loss.

3.      Does it hurt? PRP Therapy is a virtually painless procedure. Before beginning the procedure, numbing  cream is applied to the client’s scalp and then a dermal roller is used to stimulate and prepare the scalp for the treatment.

4.      Do you have to be a certain age for PRP to work? PRP Therapy is available to all men or women suffering from hair loss. Visit us at www.TransitiosIndy.com or call 1-800-GET-HAIR to schedule your free hair and scalp analysis to find out if  PRP Therapy is for you!

It can be frustrating to hear about research that you might benefit from but is still in the “promising” stage. Such is the case with stem cell research related to hair loss. Yet, the glass is half-full because much progress has been and is being made. The apparent resolution to hair loss seems to have been hiding in our scalp all along.

Hair follicles may hibernate, but they do not die. Even after hair loss follicles retain viable stem cells (little fountains of life) that can, with the right kind of nudge, get hair follicles producing again. It’s like a miracle waiting to happen.

Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated (or pluripotent), meaning they can morph into any of the body’s 200 plus types of cells. Throughout life, they keep their ability to divide and become cellular specialists. If stem cells in dormant hair follicles can be reactivated, it is believed new hair will grow.

Our chameleon stem cells, which contain the template for all cells, start the creation process by producing “progenitor” cells. The progenitor cells can only change into a select few cell types. For those with male or female pattern hair loss, follicle stem cells have stopped producing progenitor (replacement) cells for those worn out or damaged.

Discovery: Follicle Stem Cells Cause Hair Growth

In 2004, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine thought that stem cells inside the bulge of a follicle were the instigators of hair growth. To prove this, they isolated some follicle stem cells and transplanted them into the skin of mice. The procedure produced new hair growth within four weeks.

The researchers looked forward to isolating stem cells taken from the adult human scalp and replanting them in other areas, hoping to produce similar results. They estimated another ten years before people would be able to heal resulting from the use of stem cell transplantation.

Discovery: “Fat” Stem Cells Tell Follicle Stem Cells What To Do

Fast forward to 2011. Though researchers had known stem cells in hair follicles need a signal from the skin to produce hair, where exactly the signal originated was a mystery. Then, in studies at Yale University, researchers located stem cells in the fatty layer of human skin that send out molecular messages prompting hair growth.

Those who have male or female patterned hair loss still have a reserve of live stem cells in their dormant roots, but the roots need a molecular jolt to resume hair growth. The Yale researchers are hoping to get the “fat” stem cells to transmit “grow hair” signals to the stem cells snoozing inside unproductive follicles.

In A Nutshell . . .

1.      Researchers stimulate fatty tissue stem cells
2.      Fatty tissue stem cells transmit the message “grow hair!”
3.      Dormant follicle stem cells receive the message, “grow hair!”
4.      Follicle stem cells wake up
5.      Follicle stem cells get busy creating progenitor cells
6.      Progenitor cells become hair producing cells
7.      Hair resumes growing
 
Let’s hope that soon stem cell therapy will become a routine procedure to alleviate hair loss.
