FUE & FUT

Anyone who’s experienced hair loss knows that living with less hair is challenging. Searching for the right solution can be confusing and intimidating, and with many different treatments, techniques and terms to choose from, finding the right solution can even become overwhelming. If you’ve considered hair transplants here is some information that may help you determine which hair transplant technique is right for you.

FUT
The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, also called the “strip method”, involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the donors head. Once the hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are then redistributed across the affected regions. The strip method transplants more hair per procedure so it’s a lot quicker, require fewer sessions, in turn helps limit costs. Although, scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes short haircuts difficult. This procedure does have a longer recovery time, but results in greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hairline.

 
FUE
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves harvesting individual follicular units one-by-one from the donor area and then each follicle is transplanted into the areas affected by hair loss. Since the FUE method involves removing fewer hairs, the process is more time consuming and may involve more sessions. However, since this technique doesn’t involve removing a strip of skin from the scalp, there are no cuts or stitches which means no visible scarring. The results look completely natural — recovery is fast and almost painless allowing many patients to return to work the next day.

Although, both techniques have been very successful, each method has its pros and cons and no technique is better than the other. At PAI, our experienced staff will help you determine which hair transplantation option is right for you and your particular hair loss. We believe that only the best procedures with the greatest benefits are acceptable for our clients.

Men's Health

From 30 Australian Mo Bros in 2003 to over 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas worldwide, the Movember Foundation has helped change the face of men’s health. The Movember Foundation has funded over 1,000 programs dedicated to tackling some of the biggest health issues faced by men – prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, with more than 1.1 million cases recorded in 2012. One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and in 2015, an estimated 220,800 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells in the prostate reproduce far more rapidly than normal, resulting in a tumor. Age, family history, and ethnicity play a big factor in developing this disease and unfortunately, most prostate cancers develop without men experiencing any symptoms in the early stages. If you’re concerned about your risks, you can take two  common tests for initial detection, the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) and the PSA blood test (PSA), depending on the results of those tests you may be referred to a specialist for a biopsy.

Testicular Cancer
The rate of men diagnosed with testicular cancer has doubled in the last 50 years.  About 8,430 new cases of testicular cancer are diagnosed in men each year and this cancer is most common in young men aged 15 - 34 years. Testicular cancer starts as an abnormal growth or tumor that develops in one or both testicles. Secondary testicular tumors are caused by cancerous cells that have spread to the testicles from other parts of the body. These cancers are much rarer than the previous forms of testicular cancer. The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown, however it’s believed that factors such as family history and down syndrome are thought to increase the risk of testicular cancer. Just like prostate cancer, many men may experience few or no symptoms of testicular cancer so it’s important to do regular self-examinations. If you have any concerns, it’s  important that you contact your doctor since this cancer can be effectively treated, and potentially cured, if diagnosed and treated early.

Mental Health
On average 87 men each day take their life by suicide in the USA and the highest rate of depression is in men aged 40 – 59. While the highest rate of depression is typically in older men anyone, of an age, can be affected by poor mental health. Many men find it very difficult to talk about their problems because many men follow the stereotype that men are strong and silent and don’t express their emotions or ask for help about what they’re feeling. It’s important to be proactive about your mental health, be aware of risk factors and symptoms, such as family history of mental health problems, drug and alcohol use, or stressful life events. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health problem, it’s important to seek help from a friend, family member, doctor, or even someone on a support line, just remember someone is always available to listen.

Physical Inactivity
Physical inactivity is one of the biggest health issues faced by men. Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and approximately 3.2 million deaths each year are  due to insufficient physical activity. Physical inactivity may seem like a small issues compared to prostate and testicular cancer or even mental health issues but being physically inactive is a big deal. Especially because people who live active lifestyles help reduce their risk of developing these cancers and improve their physical and mental health. By just getting 30 minutes of exercise every day you can improve your mood and significantly reduce the health risks of a sedentary lifestyle.

Just like the countless men helped by the Movember Foundation, PAI Medical Group is dedicated to helping the millions of men affected by hair loss. Taking the first step to restoring your confidence after hair loss is always the most difficult, so we’re here to help. From your personal, one-on-one consultation with PAI Medical Indiana hair transplant experts, to your hair transplant procedure and long after, we’ll ensure that you remain comfortable and engaged throughout the process.

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.

Female Hair Loss Solutions

 A common misconception with female hair loss is that women experiencing hair loss is rather rare, when in fact, that is patently false. While hair loss in men is often the result of genetics in addition to age, with women, hair loss can happen at any time. Women experiencing loss, commonly referred to as pattern balding, tend to see thinning across the entire scalp rather than on the top of the head, as characterized by male pattern baldness. But, much like men suffering from hair loss or pattern baldness, women too can undergo surgical hair transplantation to restore their lost hair naturally at PAI.

In most cases the pattern of baldness common to women is called diffuse baldness. This type of baldness occurs over the entire scalp. Diffuse hair loss can be caused by a number of factors other than genetic disposition.

While diffuse hair loss is most often hereditary, it can also be caused by medical conditions such as:
• Obstetric and gynecological conditions (post-partum and post-menopausal states or ovarian tumors)
• Anemia
• Thyroid disease
• Connective tissue diseases (Lupus)
• Nutritional causes
• Stress from surgical procedures, general anesthesia or severe emotional problems

Women with diffuse hair loss are typically treated best medically, with laser therapy or a similar option. Those experiencing diffuse hair loss might not have a suitable donor area from which to harvest hairs during transplant surgery. On the other hand, some women do experience pattern baldness that is most common in men. Women with this type of hair loss may be good candidates for hair transplant surgery.

As part of our female hair transplant procedure at PAI Medical Group of Indiana, we include a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of hair loss.

PAI Medical Group’s trademarked procedure, Multi-Unit Hair Grafting, can be used for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss. While not all females suffering from hair loss are candidates for hair transplantation, with new harvesting techniques and our unique process for treating female hair loss, the number of female patients we treat for hair loss is increasing each year.
Find out which solution you are a candidate for by scheduling your FREE Hair and Scalp Analysis at PAI Medical Group of Indiana today!

Hair Loss Education

If you are losing your hair, it can be an intimidating process looking at all of the different causes and treatment options. At PAI Medical Group, we want to make the process as simple as possible, and believe it is important to get educated about different reasons for hair loss and options available to you. PAI Medical Group will be here to help you every step of the way!

Causes of Hair Loss

Genetics- Hereditary hair loss is the most common form of hair loss, especially in men. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness/female pattern baldness is caused by genetically predisposed hair follicles. Your individual genetic makeup that can come from either side of the family is the core contributor that leads to an interruption in normal hair growth.

Hormones- The two hormones that can contribute to hair loss in both genders are testosterone and dyhydrotestosterone (DHT).

Time- Simply, with age comes a higher risk of hair loss. Aging and naturally thinning hair are intertwined in many ways, and the reality of advancing age means many people will eventually see signs of thinning hair.

Physical Stress- Tension on the hair can also lead to permanent hair loss. This particular hair loss is directly tied to prolonged tension of the hair – cornrows, tight braiding, hair extensions, etc. – and can lead to long-term hair loss more often than people realize.

Psychological Effects of Hair Loss
Loss of hair can affect more than just your appearance, but how you feel internally. Psychological effects of hair loss are common in both men and women. Studies have shown that hair loss can invoke emotional trauma, stress and anxiety. It’s important to know that you don’t have to just accept your thinning hair, instead, speak to a hair loss expert at PAI.

In addition to the psychological responses to hair loss, many patients are sincerely worried about their appearance and overall attractiveness. It’s not uncommon for both men and women to admit that their hair loss affects them both personally and professionally, an altogether unpleasant psychological occurrence directly attributed to deflated self-esteem.

More and more people are beginning to take control of their thinning hair by choosing hair restoration treatments. A thorough, professional consultation is your best option for restoring lost or thinning hair.

At PAI Medical Group of Indiana, we take great pride in walking each of our potential patients through the entire hair restoration process. Call us at 1- (888) 724-5129 to schedule your free consultation and be on your way to a healthier, fuller head of hair.

Platelet Rich Plasma at PAI

PAI Medical Group is proud to offer a new hair loss solution, Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a new safe non-surgical option for patients. PRP is an in-office procedure that requires little to no recovery time and can be done in less than one hour.

How Does PRP Work?
PRP therapy extracts nutrient rich plasma from the patient’s own blood and then combines it with A-cells (patient's own stem cells) to promote hair growth. ACell’s MatriStem technology (an FDA approved medical device) works at the cellular level to repair and remodel damaged tissues. When A-Cells are placed into a surgical site or wound, they help repair and remodel damaged tissues. A-cells have been used for a variety of different surgical procedures but when used in the scalp they help stimulate dormant follicular tissues, which may improve and stimulate hair growth. PRP is full of growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth. By using PRP and A-Cells, this combination causes tiny hair follicles to become larger which helps some men and women grow thicker, fuller, and healthier hair.    
 
ACell + PRP has also regrown hair in alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis and other patient cases with non-hereditary hair loss (http://www.wegrowhair.com/hair-transplant-solutions/platelet-rich-plasma-therapy/) . Results may start to become noticeable in about 90 days and full results can take up to a year. This procedure can be used alone or safely combined with other hair therapies such as transplantation, low-level laser therapy or topical and oral treatments.

To learn more about this revolutionary hair restoration procedure, give PAI a call at (888) 724-5129 or go online at WeGrowHairIndy.com and schedule your FREE consultation today!
