Karen, a ReAllusions® client at Transitions, shares her hair restoration journey with us.

Karen came to Transitions after completely losing her hair from chemotherapy. She now has a full head of hair and says she no longer feel self-conscious when she goes about her day to day activities. Even before chemotherapy, Karen noticed her hair starting to thin around age 18 and continued to progress into later years. In her 30’s, Karen’s hair had thinned exponentially and she only felt comfortable wearing her hair in one style. She used a headband to cover where her scalp was revealed and used lots of hair spray to make the remaining hair stay in place in order to cover her scalp. Then, at age 39, Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing chemotherapy, her hair came back even thinner than before and Karen was desperate to find a solution.

At Transitions, we offer FREE Hair and Scalp Analysis’s to find the best solution for your hair loss needs.

Keep reading to learn more about Laser Hair Therapy and to find out if you're a candidate for this revolutionary non-surgical option.

Low Level Laser Hair Therapy is a non-surgical, safe and effective procedure that utilizes low level lasers (cool lasers) to prevent from thinning and encourage new hair to grow. There are two types of lasers, high powered lasers and low level lasers. Low level lasers— the kind that Transitions uses for Laser Hair Therapy, is a “cold” laser, therefore it doesn’t have the thermal component, making it completely painless!

Low level lasers used for Laser Hair Therapy help to increase blood circulation in the scalp. This boost in circulation helps increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, which support and promote hair growth. Some of the benefits of Laser Hair Therapy are repair and improvement of hair shaft quality, slowing or stopping the hair loss process, and relief of scalp conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea.

Pattern baldness is something commonly seen in men as they start aging due to heredity, medical conditions or treatments, and even stress. Many think that pattern baldness only happens to men but truth be told, women can also experience pattern baldness. According to Harvard Health Publications, female pattern baldness starts with thinning hair at the part-line. As the condition develops, more of the hair begins to thin causing hair loss to occur in a circular pattern at the top of the head. It is less common to see women experiencing hair loss but it can also happen due to heredity, aging, change in hormone levels, stress, etc.

Each hair strand has its own follicle to grow from. The hair strand’s growing phase lasts from 2 to 6 years, then the hair falls and new hair starts growing. Baldness occurs when hair sheds from the follicle and new hair fails to grow in its place. The actual reason for female pattern baldness has not been discovered yet but evidence shows it may be related to aging, family history, or change in the levels of androgens (male hormones).

The most common symptom is hair thinning mainly on the top and crown of the scalp. There’s no significant change in the frontal hairline and hair loss rarely progresses to total baldness as commonly seen in male pattern baldness.

With pattern baldness, the hair that is lost may not grow back if it goes untreated. There are several options available for treatment such as Laser Hair Therapy, Hair Transplantation, and Hair Restoration all proudly offered here at Transitions of Indiana.

Hair loss is often believed to only affect men but hair loss is a problem that affects millions of women too. Transitions of Indiana understands how devastating hair loss can be for women especially the emotional effects on a women’s confidence and self-esteem. This is what Transitions client, Rachel experienced before she came to Transitions of Indiana.

While Rachel has always had fine hair, it wasn’t until later on that she experienced the difficulties of dealing with thinning hair. Styling her hair in the morning became a challenge since each hair had to be positioned in place before she could spray the few fine hairs left into a hairstyle. When she spent time with her friends at the community pool she always had to make up excuses about why she couldn’t get her hair wet so her friends wouldn’t see how thin her hair was. Once others began to notice her hair loss she began searching for medical treatments to overcome the embarrassment of thinning hair.

After viewing Transitions video testimonials and before and after photos she quickly called to schedule her free consultation to discuss the cause of her hair loss and her treatment options. During her consultation she was informed that she suffered from female-pattern baldness and that she was a candidate for non-invasive Laser Hair Therapy that offered promising results.

Rachel is absolutely thrilled with the results and the compliments she’s received especially from her hair dresser—who knew about her thinning hair. While skeptical in the beginning, Rachel's hair is now fuller and thicker thanks to Laser Hair Therapy treatments at Transitions of Indiana.

Laser Hair Therapy is just one of the countless treatments offered at Transitions.
