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.

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.

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.
