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.

The Best Hair Loss Treatment for Men



Research and technologies for treatments have grown exponentially over time. With so many treatments options, you may have trouble deciding which one is best for you. You also have to consider that treatments for male pattern baldness, for example, are based on several factors like age, hair type, etc. Not every treatment can work for everyone. PAI Medical Group Indiana has the latest technologies in hair restoration available and can help assist you in choosing the best path to restoring your hair.

Consider Your Options

At PAI we specialize in hair transplants. The ARTAS® Robotic FUE Hair Transplant is a revolutionary, robotics-based hair transplantation process that is often perfect for treating male pattern baldness. A physician guided robot uses advanced algorithms and mathematics to identify and harvest individual hair follicles that are immune to the effects of hair loss. It separates the hairs by their growth angle and pattern so when PAI’s team of highly-trained technicians transplant the hair back into thinning areas of the scalp, the results are completely natural looking. This procedure is beneficial compared to older methods because it is virtually pain free, minimally invasive, creates no linear scarring and has a quick recovery time.


Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ is another hair transplantation process that is trademarked by PAI Medical Group. This procedure can be great for men with moderate to advanced hair loss and a receding hair line. A blend of different hair groupings, or grafts, and micro and follicular unit grafts are harvested and redistributed to the natural pattern they exist. With this technique, up to three times the amount of hairs are able to be transplanted in a single session. This greatly reduces cost while still providing a natural looking appearance that is age and gender specific.

At PAI Medical Group there are also several non-surgical hair restoration treatments available such as Low Level Laser therapy (LLLT) and Micro-pigmentation. LLLT is a proven and safe way to thicken hair and control hair loss in men and women. This treatment is ideal for patients suffering from the early stages of hair loss. A typical treatment takes only 30 minutes and it won’t affect how you style or wear your hair. Micro-Pigmentation, also known as Virtual Hair, uses permanent colored cosmetic pigment to simulate the appearance of a closely shaved head, perfect for men who like to wear more short stubble styles. It’s also great for concealing thinning areas of the scalp and for covering up scars and birthmarks.

Micro-Pigmentation
Taking that Step

At PAI Medical Group Indiana, we will work directly with you to find the hair loss solution that’s right for you. It is our mission is to stay ahead with the latest cutting-edge technology and ensure the comfort of our patients. Our hair technicians and surgeons have years of experience in the field and are highly-trained in all of our hair restoration processes.

Q95’s “Gunner” Finds Solution to Hair Loss with PAI Medical Group Indiana


Gunner appeared on WISH's Indy Style program recently with Clinic Director Darren Andrews to make the special announcement that he decided to receive a Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ hair transplant with PAI Medical Group Indiana. Watch the full interview here.

Gunner talked about his hair restoration efforts with Laser Hair Therapy. The results were impressive and made his hair fuller and thicker, as shown in the photo below. After the laser therapy treatments, Gunner wanted more hair and a permanent solution. A hair transplant would not only cover up the remaining bald spots, but it would also recreate Gunner’s hairline, which had continued to recede.

Gunner’s Laser Hair Therapy Results 
PAI's patented Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure is now the best option to address Gunner's specific hair loss challenges. This procedure is designed to provide the desired coverage in just one procedure by transplanting up to three times the amount of hairs in a single session. Small individual follicular and multi-hair groupings, or grafts, are harvested and redistributed according to the natural way in which they exist. The hairline is created specific to each client’s age and hair color to produce a completely natural look.

Gunner's hair transplant procedure will be combined with Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, therapy to promote healing and growth of the newly transplanted hairs. PRP is a regenerative form of medicine that uses your own blood platelets filled with growth factors to stimulate hair growth and heal damaged hair follicles. Producing platelet rich plasma is FDA approved and has previously been used to help rebuild and promote healing of damaged tendons or cartilage by orthopedic physicians. It has shown fantastic results so far in the realm of hair restoration, especially when combined with other procedures.

Keep checking our website, blog, and social media for updates on Gunner's progress!

At PAI Medical Group Indiana, we will work with you from your first consultation to months after your procedure to make sure you’re receiving the best care and seeing the results you want. We understand that each person’s hair loss situation is unique. Our team of highly trained hair restoration technicians and surgeons, using their years of experience in the field, will work directly with you to find the hair restoration solution that’s best for you. We also offer several non-surgical hair restoration solutions and the ARTAS® Robotic FUE Hair Transplant.

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.

See JMV's Actual Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ Procedure at PAI




For many sports fans in Indiana, sitting in rush hour traffic is never bad with tell-it-like-it-is sports talk show host James Michael Vincent, or better known among his fans as JMV. JMV’s daily radio show, The Ride with JMV on WFNI-1070 AM and other stations, has had major success in its six years of airtime. With JMV’s witty banter on professional sports, pop culture, and his own personal life his program has garnered nearly 71,000 listeners weekly and has drawn a significant following on social media with over 38,000 followers, and that’s just on Twitter.

Despite all of the confidence one should have from such popularity, JMV found himself losing his hair, along with thinning in the crown area, and was not happy. While his receding hair line is often the subject of his own jokes on his show, he decided it was time to make a change. JMV chose PAI Medical Group of Indiana - We Grow Hair Indy to help him with his hair restoration. We’ve been following JMV’s hair restoration journey with PAI since the beginning which you can read here.

“I chose PAI because I want my hair back. I want that bald spot covered up. I chose PAI because of the people, the process, the technology and how I certainly trust in how the procedure is going to go.” JMV said in a recent interview. We filmed an inside look at JMV’s experience with PAI Medical Group of Indiana, their surgeons, and technicians. Click here to see the video of his procedure day.

At PAI Medical Group of Indiana we understand that each person’s hair loss situation is different. We have a number of surgical and non-surgical hairs loss solutions, for all ages and genders, to cater to your specific needs. For JMV we found that our  Multi-Unit Hair Grafting ™ procedure with PRP was the best solution for him.

Multi-Unit Hair Grafting ™ is a single-session hair transplant procedure exclusive to PAI Medical Group of Indiana. A small number of hair grouping (grafts) are taken from the patients' scalp and are relocated back into the thinning areas of the scalp according to their natural way. Our doctors at PAI Medical Group discovered that by combining Micro and Follicular Unit Grafts with the Multi Unit Grafts, they can produce a more natural hair line that is specific to the patient’s age and gender. The benefit of this procedure is that it maximizes hair per volume by transplanting up to three times the amount of hair in one session. This reduces the number of hair transplant procedures, cost, and maximizes results.

In the procedure video, Darren Andrews, PAI Clinic Director, explains JMV's specific hair loss situation and a bit about the procedure. JMV is eager for the process to begin and they take him to get his blood drawn. His plasma is separated and mixed with A-cells to create PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, which will be injected into the surgical site. This speeds the healing process and promotes a healthy environment for hair growth.



During the whole procedure JMV is awake and very comfortable as the technicians take the grafts and meticulously place each hair. In total, about 8,000 hairs are placed. Mixed with the PRP, scarring is minimal and barely visible.

Results can take up to a few months after the procedure to show and may vary for each patient. We’ll be following up with JMV for his post-op experience and results so stay tuned!
