Move over HAL, ARTAS® is Here!

It wasn't too long ago that robotic surgery was just science fiction; however, over the last few years it has become an increasingly viable and popular option. Surgical robotic systems have proven themselves to excel in performing precise and repetitive movements. The level of extreme precision has lead to less invasive surgical techniques which in turn means faster procedures with less pain and decreased recovery time.

These factors make a robotic system the perfect match for hair restoration, and that's exactly what the ARTAS® Robotic FUE system is. The ARTAS® Robot is the only robotic solution in hair restoration and PAI is the only clinic in Indiana that has one of these state of the art robots. ARTAS® was specifically designed to assist a surgeon performing a FUE procedure. FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that extracts one follicular unit at a time. The ARTAS® robot uses advanced algorithms to analyze the follicle angle and direction in addition to skin type to choose the most viable follicles creating an extremely high quality graft.

In addition to producing a high quality graft, thanks to ARTAS® there is no linear scar. And because the procedure is minimally invasive, it is virtually painless and has an expedited recovery time. ARTAS® Robotic FUE transplantation has truly changed the entire hair restoration experience.

As a leader in hair restoration PAI provides every proven hair loss solution and we continue to show that leadership by being one of only 35 hair restoration clinics in the world to offer ARTAS® Robotic FUE. Want to know more about ARTAS®? Schedule your free consultation here! You can also learn more by visiting our website, www.WeGrowHairIndy.com, or calling 1-888-PAI-5129!

Will Science Come up With a Cure For Baldness?



Anyone suffering with alopecia knows the struggle of trying to find a cure. Science has come close to finding more accurate methods for hair restoration and new studies have shown that there may be more advanced methods to come.

To look at future advancements in hair loss we must revisit past developments in hair restoration. Some of the permanent solutions in hair restoration today are some of the most popular procedures used in many facilities like PAI.

·         Hair Transplants- are the most permanent solution to hair loss. These days, facilities like PAI are using ARTAS® Robotic FUE and Multi-Unit Hair Grafting.
o   ARTAS® is a more advanced method to hair transplantation. The procedure involves using a robot that accurately and precisely transplants hair one follicular unit at a time.
o   Multi-Unit Hair Grafting combines hair grafting with FUE to give the clients the best and most natural looking results.
·         Laser Hair Therapy- is one of the most popular methods in hair restoration. The emission of low level laser energy onto the client’s scalp improves blood circulation and produces rich nutrients needed for hair follicles to grow. Laser Hair Therapy involves maintenance to keep promoting hair growth.
·         Platelet Rich Plasma- PRP Therapy is a new high tech solution to hair loss. It utilizes your own cells to regrow your hair. Blood is drawn, then placed in a centrifuge which separates the plasma from the blood. That plasma is rich in growth factors and is injected into the scalp in the affected areas.

Recent studies have shown that new medications have presented great results for patients of alopecia. Some of the future developments to hair loss are as follows:

·         Medication: Prescribed medications like Tofacitnib and Ruxolitinib are being tested as a possible cure for hair loss and balding.
o   Tofacitnib – is a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. According to Yale News, researches at Yale and Stanford Universities conducted a study amongst 66 men suffering from alopecia areata,- an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and other parts of your body. Over half of the participants saw growth and one-third saw more than 50% hair growth.
o   Ruxolitinib-  is a cancer treatment drug. According to The Sun, a study done in Columbia University of 12 men who had alopecia areata, saw between 50-95% increase of their hair grow.

You can count on PAI to offer all of the latest and best solutions to hair loss.

Just like technology, science advances too. Only time will tell when there will be a cure for hair loss. However, for the time being, the procedures and methods of today are creating extraordinary results. Visit us at our site  www.WeGrowHairIndy.com or call (317) 522-2989. Don’t wait any longer to get your hair restored with us. Book your free consultation and discover which permanent option is right for you.

Progression of Hair Loss: Is It Too Late for a Transplant?



Are you experiencing hair loss? Have you wanted for years to do something about it? Are wondering if it’s too late to reverse it?

Hair loss can be hard to spot right away because it is normal to lose hair when brushing, combing and showering, but it is important to know how far your hair loss has progressed in order to tackle the problem earlier rather than later.

The Norwood scale is used to show the most common hair loss patterns for men. While hair loss patterns can differ from person to person, this standardized scale is the most reliable guide.


(Photo and classifications courtesy of www.blog.drgvg.co)

·         Class I: No hair loss is visible
·         Class II: Initial stage of hair loss, very mild
·         Class III: Men experience hair loss at the temples and forehead
·         Class IV: Hair loss is separated between the temple areas and crown
·         Class V: Hair loss progression is significant on the temples and crown
·         Class VI: The hair that separated the forehead and crown is almost gone
·         Class VII: Advanced hair loss phase

No matter what class your hair falls under, PAI Medical Group of Indiana has options that may help you. PAI offers a safe and non-surgical Laser Hair Therapy treatment that helps thicken and control hair loss for both men and women. This is a very fast and easy procedure to help control your hair loss in the early stages.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy could also be an option that can help you. PRP therapy extracts plasma, which includes growth factors, from your own blood and injects it back into your scalp. The platelets stimulate the cells that create hair and quicken growth. PRP has seen great results when used early in the hair loss spectrum but can also be effective later on as well.

The most innovative and effective technology PAI can offer you is the ARTAS® Robotic FUE procedure. ARTAS® is a robotic system that targets individual follicular units and harvests them to create new hair and thicken existing hair. There are no stitches and no scaring and because it is completely robotic, there is little room for human error.

It is never too late to get back to a more confident you and love the hair you have! To review every option PAI offers and determine the best one for you, call PAI (317) 522-2989 or go online to book a consultation today!

ARTAS® Robotic FUE Procedure Gives Back Client’s Confidence


PAI Medical Group Indiana is offering the latest in hair restoration with the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplantation! Using state-of the-art technology with robotics, the process is minimally invasive, virtually pain-free and the results are completely natural looking, with no linear scarring or stitches. The reason behind the growing popularity of this procedure is backed by the noticeable results our patients see after undergoing the procedure. We’re following Alex’s hair restoration journey step-by-step as he undergoes the ARTAS® Robotic FUE Procedure, which you can watch by clicking here.

Alex decided to undergo the ARTAS® Robotic FUE Procedure at PAI because he was impressed by the technology used and how accurate the ARTAS® Robotic System was compared to other technologies. In the video, Alex explains that he was ready to make a change and do something about his hair loss. After three years of using PAI Medical Group Indiana as a source for information on hair restoration, with no pressure to commit, he finally decided that PAI would be the one to help him gain his hair, and his confidence, back.

The PAI Clinic Director Darren Andrews explains Alex’s hair loss situation and how the ARTAS® FUE Procedure will correct it to give him his desired hairline. Our highly-trained surgeon and technicians trace the donor line where the permanent hairs will be harvested from, color his gray areas and slightly shave Alex’s head to help the ARTAS® Robotic System better identify the hairs to be harvested. It’s amazing to see the system in action as it identifies and harvests each hair to be used for transplantation. A team of our highly skilled technicians meticulously places the transplanted hairs back into the thinning areas of Alex’s scalp to match his desired hairline.


The day after his procedure, Alex is all smiles as the technician in charge of his hair wash and our other staff compliment him on how good his hair looks. The surgeon who helped perform the procedure says his hair “can’t look any better than that”. Everyone is thoroughly impressed by Alex’s results. The staff’s smiles are a testament to the friendly and professional atmosphere of PAI Medical Group Indiana. A technician carefully washes his hair and answers Alex’s questions about recovery. In the video, Darren talks with Alex who “feels great” just one day after his procedure and explains how the advance technology of the ARTAS® was able to produce Alex’s clean hairline. Alex states how comfortable he felt with the doctors and medical team the day of his procedure and felt that each one was really looking to take care of his needs all day. Darren discusses Alex’s personalized treatment plan to boost his recovery and promote hair growth with Laser Hair Therapy and other medications.

Ten days after Alex’s ARTAS® FUE Procedure, we can see that he is recovering nicely. The ARTAS® FUE procedure is so minimally invasive that there is virtually no scarring. Be sure to stay tuned to Alex’s hair growth as we continue to follow his post-procedure results.


PAI Medical Group Indiana our mission is to stay ahead with new cutting-edge technology and ensure the comfort of our patients. You can see our many other client’s stories who have undergone the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant Procedure or any other of our surgical and non-surgical hair restoration solutions. Just visit our website at www.wegrowhairindy.com. If you think this procedure is right for you, call (317)-522-2989 to schedule your FREE consultation. Start your journey towards great hair, and confidence, today!

The Science of Hair Loss

Have you ever wondered what your hair is actually made of or how it grows? Hair is made from a protein known as keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. Follicles create new hair cells while old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin. Average hair growth rate is about six inches per year and the average adult has somewhere between 100,000 to 150,000 hairs. Losing around a 100 hairs per day is normal.


Norwood Hair Loss Scale

As people age, their hair growth rate slows. There are many types of hair loss, called alopecia. Some conditions cause hair to thin, some cause hair to fall out, some cause patches, etc. So, what is the underlying reason for hair loss?

There are things that cause hair loss: genes, hormones, stress, illness, disease, drugs, chemotherapy, burns, scars, etc. Shampooing too often, tight braiding, dyeing, and perms can damage your hair and also cause thinning. Even what you eat can affect your scalp health.

If any of these causes sound familiar, or you know someone who would benefit from professional hair restoration than come to PAI Medical Group Indiana. PAI Medical has offered the “Gold Standard” in permanent and natural hair restoration for over 30 years. Our highly trained hair transplant professionals will sit down with you one-on-one and evaluate your hair loss as well as answer any questions that you may have. Take the first step to a more confident you by calling (317) 522-2989 or visit our site at wegrowhairindy.com to see what the professionals at PAI Medical can do for you.

No Shave November

When thinking of “ No-Shave November,” or “Movember,” you might have of trail of thoughts leading to the comments you or your guy friends might have made, like  “its cold and my beard keeps my face warm,” or “it makes me look like Chuck Norris."

Some may say it’s an excuse for guys to slack in the grooming department or that they're channeling their inner lumber jack.

However, the American Cancer Society is using this idea in a more philanthropic way.

FACT:  More than one million people in the United States get cancer each year. It can strike at ANY age. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S. Which means that it accounts for nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths. (http://www.cancer.org/)

The American Cancer Society is using No-Shave November this year as a unique way to raise cancer awareness. Hopefully this fundraiser will have an amazing turn out that will propel this event into an annual tradition.

It’s a very clever idea to "grow" awareness with hair. The premise of this is to increase awareness by “embracing [your] hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.” (http://www.no-shave.org/) Donate the money that you would have spent on shaving and grooming for a month to teach cancer prevention, saving lives and supporting those who are fighting this disease.

While this seems like something that’s only geared towards men – it’s not. Both men and women are more than welcome to join the cause by making donations. Put that facial hair to good use and donate this year!

Always help spread the word. The accumulation of donations means an increase in resources to prevent and fight cancer.

Like “No-shave November” on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/noshavenov), retweet them, or even Instagram your progress.  #LETITGROW

At PAI Medical of Indiana, we understand the impact that losing your hair has on you and your confidence. Not all hair transplants are created equal. People visit us from all over the world because PAI Medical stands apart as the gold standard for hair restoration, thanks to our unique, trademarked Multi-Unit Hair Grafting ™ procedure and dedicated medical professionals that provide safe, effective hair loss treatment.

PAI Medical Group – The Latest Technology in Hair Restoration

PAI Medical Group of Indiana strives to provide our clients with the most advanced hair restoration technology. Less invasive Non-Surgical Solutions, such as Laser Hair Therapy (available at PAI) are becoming increasingly popular and PAI has decided to expand on this technology. We are proud to announce that our facility in Indianapolis will soon be providing patients with new advanced hair loss treatments — Platelet Rich Plasma and Micro Pigmentation.

Laser Hair Therapy

Low-level Laser Hair Therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical solution for both men and women suffering from hair loss. These low-level lasers are “soft” lasers and do not have the thermal component to cut or burn. The FDA recently approved this type of treatment for the promotion of hair growth. It is safe for people with all skin and hair types.

Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy Include:

  • Increased blood flow to the scalp based on microcirculation
  • Increased nutrient supply to enhance hair growth
  • Slowing down and stopping the progression of hair loss
  • Repaired and improved hair shaft quality
  • Relief of scalp conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea
  • Laser hair therapy can help you achieve thicker, fuller, shinier and healthier looking hair


Gunner, a +Q95 radio personality in Indianapolis went through Laser Hair Therapy Treatments at PAI (shown above). He started to notice his hair thinning so he came to PAI Medical Group to speak with one of our hair loss experts and begin LLLT treatments. Now he has a fuller head of hair that is much healthier. The LLLT process usually takes around a year to complete but you will start to see results before the year is over. This treatment is best for people who are in the early stages of hair loss.


Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet Rich Plasma is a new hair loss treatment that is coming soon to PAI Medical Group of Indiana. During this procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient’s arm. The Platelet Rich Plasma is separated from the blood and is activated. The activated platelet rich plasma is injected into the scalp containing growth factors. This treatment works by encouraging normalization of hair follicles. Bioactive proteins help with tissue repair and hair loss and growth factors activate and rejuvenate cells in the body.


Micro Pigmentation

Another new technology that is coming soon to PAI Medical Group is Micro Pigmentation. For this procedure, dermal pigments are selectively matched to the patient’s hair color to create a shadow effect resembling the appearance of short hair. The size of the pigments are matched to the size of the hairs. This technique can also be used on patients with longer hair to fill in the scalp creating the appearance of fuller hair.



These are just some of the ways PAI Medical Center can treat hair loss. Platelet Rich Plasma and Micro Pigmentation are new technologies coming to PAI Medical Center very soon! If you are losing your hair and think any of these treatments might be right for you, don’t hesitate to visit our website www.wegrowhairindy.com or call (888) 724-5129 for a free consultation. We can help you start to regrow your hair and gain back your confidence.

Your FAQ’s Answered!

Image
Even though losing your hair can be a frightening process, restoring it doesn’t have to be. When deciding to seek a solution for your hair loss it’s normal to have a lot of questions. At PAI Medical Group of Indiana, we want to make the process as simple and easy as possible by answering some of the most commonly asked questions. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to call us at (888) 724-5129 to schedule a free consultation with one of our hair restoration experts. Get ready to step out from behind your hair loss, regain your confidence and restore your natural appearance with the help of PAI Medical Group of Indiana.

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant from PAI Medical Indiana?

Most people suffering from androgenetic alopecia or other common hair loss types are candidates for hair transplantation with PAI Medical Indiana. Hair loss candidacy essentially depends on three key elements:

  • How much permanent hair you still have.
  • The degree or severity of baldness or thinning you are experiencing relative to the amount of hair you still have.
  • Your overall hair restoration goals and expectations – We place a high level of emphasis on a patient’s expectations, and an honest conversation regarding potential hair loss in the future and what you want to achieve long term with your hair transplant procedure is crucial.

Is there an ideal age to begin hair transplantation?

A commonly-debated subject among hair restoration surgeons, the ideal age range for hair transplantation isn’t as cut-and-dry as you might think. Research has shown transplanting in the early stages of hair loss could provide for easier concealment of hair loss, which would allow the patient to limit the appearance of thinning before it becomes noticeable. At PAI Medical Indiana, we always recommend a private consultation for all our prospective hair transplant patients, particularly patients under the age of 24. For patients that are a minor, we require the parent or guardian to be present during all consultations.

What is the difference between hair grafts and PAI Medical Levels?

A hair graft can contain anywhere from 1 to 10 hairs, generally speaking. A large number hair restoration clinics charge for hair transplants by the graft. The problem with this approach? Because the number of grafts is unique to each and every patient and every procedure, predicting a consistent range in order to provide accurate pricing is quite difficult, making it a bit of a mystery in many cases as to how much the final cost of your hair transplant will actually be. The PAI Medical Levels measure number of hairs, not hair grafts, and the general area to be covered in the procedure, which reduces confusion for the patient and allows us to offer more affordable transplant options.

How many hairs will be transplanted?

One graft does not equal one hair. Our hair restoration physicians will harvest hair grafts from 1-7 hairs, depending on the area experiencing hair loss. For example, 1,200 grafts would equal an average of 5,000 to 7,000 hairs. This range of evenly distributed hair grafts will produce a natural hairline with the ideal density and coverage.

How many sessions will I need to achieve results?

One of the many benefits of our Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure is that we reduce the number of procedures by moving more hair in each procedure.  Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ allows up to twice the normal hair volume compared to traditional Follicular Unit hair transplants. So you're provided a much better value to meet your hair restoration goals, often in only 1 or 2 procedures.

How long after my hair transplant procedure will I begin to see hair growth?

Generally, hair growth occurs within 3-5 months after the hair transplant procedure. The number of new hairs will continue to increase for 12 months.

What type of post-operative care does PAI Medical provide?

We highly recommend a post-operative treatment program for all of our patients at PAI Medical Indiana. For more information on what you should expect after your hair transplant procedure, please review our hair restoration process.

How soon can I go back to work after the procedure? 

We recommend that activity in general is restricted during the first 24 hours after the procedure, as well as limiting physically demanding activities within the first 10 days, or until your sutures are removed. You can return to work within a day or two following your procedure depending on the level of strain your occupation requires, in addition to your overall comfort level following the procedure.

ARTAS® The Future of Hair Restoration at PAI





Over the past two decades, robotic surgery has become increasingly popular. Robotic systems have proven to excel when performing precise and repetitive surgical movements, while producing excellent results. Their less invasive techniques grant patients with faster procedures, decreased recovery time, and reduced pain. The benefits of robotics in this field are tough to ignore.

A team of engineers and physicians who specialize in image-guidance and surgical robotics created Restoration Robotics, Inc. Determined to create a system to assist hair transplantation, they developed The ARTAS® Robotic System. They are the first and only company involved in hair restoration robotics.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a relatively newer procedure in the world of hair restoration. It is a less invasive procedure, by physicians have not rapidly embraced it because it requires challenging specialized training. FUE demands the surgeon to accurately analyze follicle angle and direction in addition to skin type. As a result, the procedure will be slow and tedious.

The ARTAS® System is designed specifically to assist a surgeon performing the FUE procedure. The physician controls the computer-assisted arm that utilizes advanced digital imagery to harvest hair follicles. It analyzes the scalp and harvests the most viable follicles, thus the graft quality is extremely high. The system allows the physician to supply the patient with maximum results.
This is the latest technological advancement in the hair restoration industry. With this system, a physician with only a few hours of training can produce results as well as a physician with many years of experience. In addition, a physician using ARTAS® can complete a FUE procedure three times as fast and with higher quality grafts.

The less invasive procedure makes hair restoration much more attractive to those interested in a transplant; there is reduced recovery time, discomfort, and scarring and increased results. The system revolutionizes the entire hair restoration experience for both the patient and the physician.

As the leader in hair restoration and hair treatments PAI Medical has teamed up with Restoration Robotics to provide today’s most state-of-the-art hair transplant system to those in the Mid-West. As one of only 35 hair surgery centers in the world to offer ARTAS®, PAI Medical continues to lead the industry in providing the best and most up to date technology to its patients.

Genetics of Hair Loss



Studies show that genetics are the cause for most cases of hair loss. In fact, it's been estimated that more than 80% of cases of male pattern baldness are hereditary. Many tend to believe that male pattern baldness is associated with genes on the mother's side of the family, but this is not entirely true.

There are key genes that come from the maternal grandfather. However, these genes are not the only cause of hair loss. Statistics show that if your father or maternal grandfather is bald, you are more likely to develop male pattern baldness as well. This condition affects women too; however, it is much more likely to occur in men.

It is now known that genetic hair loss can originate from both sides of the family. It is also known that a combination of genes can be responsible, compared to just a single gene. In addition, just because a person carries a gene for male pattern baldness, this does not always mean the gene will express itself.

Different studies have linked various genes with male pattern baldness. Yet, the most prominent cause for male pattern baldness is a variation in the androgen receptor gene. This gene variant was found more often in men who were prematurely balding than men with a full head of hair. Both men and women can lose hair due to changes in the metabolism of androgen, a natural hormone (such as testosterone). The variation in the androgen receptor gene appears to increase androgens' effects, thus leading to hair loss. Excess androgen can lead to excess hair on the body, yet hair loss on the scalp.

Although, numerous genes have been found to cause hair loss, there are many other non-genetic factors, such as stress or medication, that can cause hair to fall out. Also, even if your maternal grandfather has a full head of hair, there's still a good chance you might start to lose your hair one day. If that day ever comes, keep your mind at ease knowing that there are many permanent and natural hair restoration solutions available.

The best solution to preventing hair loss is an early diagnosis by a team of hair loss professionals such as PAI. Improved results may occur when hair loss is medically treated in its earliest stages. Some hair restoration solutions include hair transplants, non-surgical medications, and low level laser hair therapy.
