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.

What is Laser Hair Therapy?

A treatment that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA) is the Low-Level Laser Hair Therapy or LLLT. Laser Hair Therapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment for both men and women suffering from hair loss. This procedure uses “cool” lasers that increase blood circulation to the scalp, stimulating nerves, muscles, and the growth center of the hair follicle (hair root). This increase in blood circulation promotes a healthy environment for hair growth, giving the patient thicker, fuller, and shinier hair.

Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy 

Many Patients Experience -
• Increased blood flow to the scalp
• Increased nutrient supply to enhance hair growth
• Slowing down and stopping the progression of hair loss
• Relief of scalp conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea
• Repaired and improved hair shaft quality

Hair Transplant Procedure, like all other forms of plastic surgery, is an art. It requires exact surgeons with decades of experience and a trained hand to create the most natural appearing results that are undetectable to the keenest eye.

Transitions of Indiana is fortunate to be associated with PAI Medical Group, the finest hair transplant surgeons in Indianapolis and throughout North America. Our surgeons have years of experience and are known for their exceptional surgical skills and for their keen aesthetic when performing hair transplants.

At Transitions of Indiana we are committed to finding the best solution possible to your specific case. Our procedures are customized based on the patient’s age, hair type, degree of hair loss and overall expectations. Best of all, hair transplantation is suitable for both men and women.

Our goal is to “Do one thing and do it extremely well.” That is why we have the very best method of hair transplantation. Our hair transplant physicians produce a natural appearing hair line with single, 1-haired grafts called a follicular unit. When adding different size grafts behind the hair line, depending on the patients needs, these grafts can contain 2 or sometimes even 3 follicles in a single graft. Our method typically moves 2 to 3 times more hair compared to the old transplant approach.



One frequently asked question is where do the grafts come from? They usually come from either the back or sides of the head because those areas have hair that is genetically pre-determined not to fall. Therefore, using grafts from those areas, we can transplant them into an area with less hair density in which afterwards will have growing hair throughout the patient’s life.

People travel from all over the Midwest and the U.S. to have their procedure done in Indianapolis. There is no charge or obligation! Get the answers you need to all your questions about Hair Transplantation, your personal hair loss concerns, and information about all other hair loss treatment options today! Your image consultant will provide information regarding causes of baldness and options tailored to your specific situation and lifestyle.

Many people think that hair loss and thinning hair is exclusively linked to family genetics. The truth is, there are way more causes for these two problems and some of them are our fault. We’ve comprised a list of everyday life habits that may be costing your hair’s health. Check them out!

1. You’re Too Stressed Out 
Each person has their own way of dealing with stress. Stress may stem from an everyday life situation or a traumatic experience. These stressors can disrupt the hair growth cycle and ultimately cause hair loss. It’s best to relax and relieve stress by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and in most cases the lost hair will eventually grow back. Hair loss can happen from six weeks to three months after a traumatic experience.

2. Hot Showers 
When you get home from work, school, etc, the first go-to to relax is taking a hot shower, right? However, these hot showers may be bringing more harm than benefits. The hot water dehydrates not only the skin, but also the hair strands because it washes away your hair’s protective oils, causing brittle, dry hair. Also, the hot water makes the scalp’s pores work even harder to replace what’s been lost, making hair strands more likely to shed. To maintain healthy hair, take the temperature down a little bit and take warm or cool showers instead.

3. Not Washing Hair Often Enough 
Dry shampoo saved your life when you didn’t have enough time to wash your hair that busy week with 5 meetings, right? Oh yeah! Dry shampoo may be convenient but it might not be that great for your hair after all. When you have applied too much product to your hair and haven’t washed it away, it clogs the hair’s pores and it can make difficult for the hair to grow. So, skipping shampoo for a day is not bad, but try not to let it become a habit. Try washing your hair every two days.

4. Mishandling Wet Hair
Some people think after the shower is the perfect time to brush the hair and get rid of all the tangled knots. However, there’s no worst time to mistreat your hair. When the hair is soaked in water, the protective cuticle is raised and therefore the hair is more fragile and likely to break. The best advice here are to comb the hair before entering the shower, dry the hair gently with a soft towel but don’t rub it and if you can’t help combing your hair after the shower, comb it gently with a wide-tooth comb.

5. Styling Tools
Styling tools are great for your looks but not so much for your hair. The scorching temperatures applied to hair when using blow-dryers or flat irons can damage the protective cuticle and the proteins (hair is made of protein) present in your hair, which makes it more likely to break. Try limiting the use of styling tools 2 to 3 times a week and apply a heat-protectant spray before each use.  

6. Tight Ponytails or Up-dos
Ponytails, braids, and up-dos are a life saver when you’re running late, but styling them too tightly can be harmful to your hair. The last thing you want is breakage or scarring, so try wearing your hair down as much as possible and if you feel like wearing a braid or ponytail, make sure it’s not too tight.

7. Sun Exposure
Having sun-kissed highlights is always beautiful and natural, however, too much exposure to UV rays damage the hair since they take away the hair’s elasticity and strength by weakening its cuticle. A good idea is to wear hats that protect your hair from the UV rays or a leave-in conditioner with sunscreen.

8. Bad Diet
Eating too little or too much is never good. Too little food forces the body to direct its food to vital functions, such as breathing and heart beating, and not to hair growing. Eating too much of a specific food or vitamin can also deregulate the body, therefore messing up hair’s growth cycle. Eating healthy is key to having healthy hair since it reflects your health. Eating a diet rich in protein since the hair is 90 percent made of it. If you don’t know exactly how to structure your diet, do not hesitate in contacting a specialist doctor that can help you on your planning.

9. Certain Medications
Some medications to depression, high blood pressure, anxiety and so forth are known to cause thinning hair or hair loss. Even everyday medications such as birth control or thyroid replacement drugs can cause hair loss. The best advice here is to talk to your doctor and ask about alternatives that might decrease the effects of the medication on your hair’s health.
