Stem Cells and Hair Loss

In last month’s blog we talked about Platelet Rich Plasma treatments and how PRP utilizes your own stem cells to enhance and restore your hair. PRP is an incredible treatment and a fantastic medical breakthrough, but you may be wondering “what do stem cells have to do with hair loss?”
A scientific study in Japan discovered that “hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis.” Let’s break down what that means. The way that your hair grows and replaces itself is through stem cells continually dividing and creating new hair follicle stem cells. What the Japanese study found is that these stem cells age, deteriorate, and eventually fall apart. One researcher, Emi Nishimura from Tokyo Medical and Dental University, noted that the research showed that “hair follicle stem cells change their fate to be eliminated from the skin in response to DNA damage. The resultant depletion of stem cell pools miniaturization of these aged hair follicles.” This means that over time the stem cells wither away due to damage from sun exposure, chemical exposure etc.

This further illustrates why PRP is such a valuable tool in the hair restoration process. The redistribution of newly introduced stem cells along with A-Cell’s ability to work at the cellular level to repair/remodel damaged tissues and stimulate adult stem cells is exactly what your hair needs to make a comeback. This isn’t to say that PRP is a catchall solution to hair loss. Adding PRP treatments to Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ or ARTAS™ Robotic FUE can decrease your recovery time and increase the growth of your transplantation. Each case of hair loss is different and there are different solutions for different people. PAI Medical Group of Indiana has every proven solution to hair loss and we are so confident that we can find a solution to your specific hair loss that we even guarantee our results. To find out what is causing your hair loss and which solution is best for you, call PAI today to schedule a free and private consultation at 888-724-5129 or visit us online at WeGrowHairIndy.com!

JMV’s Final Results Are in!

Its been 12 months since JMV had his Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure and his final results are in! Let’s take this opportunity to look back through his journey to a full head of hair again. Just over a year ago, JMV was at a sporting event when a fan a few rows up spotted him and posted a picture of his balding head. While it was all fun and games, that was the moment when JMV decided he needed to do something about his hair loss and call PAI Medical Group of Indiana.

After meeting with Darren Andrews, the Clinic Director at PAI, it was decided that PAI’s patented Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ would be the best option for JMV. Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ allows more hair to be transplanted in a single procedure, up to 4 times the amount of a traditional hair transplant. Because of this cutting-edge procedure, 80% of the men who have Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ only need a single procedure. PAI Medical Group of Indiana is one of only three clinics in the US that offers this trademarked procedure. JMV’s treatment plan also included Platelet Rich Plasma and Laser Hair Therapy treatments to help increase the speed and quality of his hair growth. The results speak for themselves.

When asked what he would like to tell others JMV had this to say:

“It’s ok to want to have your hair back again. It’s okay not to want to be bald. It doesn’t have anything to do with being vain, it has everything to do with what you want and how you want to live your life. That’s what PAI has done for me. There are a lot of people like me out there. You know that you’re losing your hair, you have a receding hair line, you’re going bald, but there’s an alternative. You can do something about it, you don’t have to live with it, you don’t have to shave your head and go bald all of a sudden and just be resigned to that fact or embrace it. There is a better way, there is another way to keep your hair, your natural growing hair, with PAI.”

If you have thinning or balding hair and want to find a solution, give PAI a call at 888-724-5129 or visit us online at WeGrowHairIndy.com to schedule your free private evaluation today!

PRP at PAI

One of the best aspects of PAI Medical Group of Indiana is that we are always looking for the next big thing in hair restoration. We will always provide the best cutting-edge solutions for your hair loss. What is the newest technology for hair restoration? PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is the latest quick, safe, and affordable option for restoring your hair.

PRP is a great option for any stage of hair loss. You can utilize it to thicken and reinforce the hair you’ve got, or have PRP treatments done after you have a Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ or ARTAS™ Robotic FUE hair transplantation done to speed up growth.

How does PRP work? A small amount of blood is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge where the growth enhancing plasma is separated from the blood. That Platelet Rich Plasma is then administered to the areas that need restoring. Its that simple.

Like any technology PRP is constantly evolving as new discoveries are made. We will always give you the most up to date advanced options of PRP. At PAI we use an FDA approved centrifuge, add ACell* to our PRP treatments. ACell’s MatriStem* technology works at the cellular level to repair damaged tissues. It stimulates the adult stem cells in the damaged tissues, increasing the regenerative rate, thereby creating higher quality hair growth. In addition to this we offer 5x the concentration of traditional PRP injections, as well as a state of the art chiller to ensure the greatest level of comfort for you, the patient.
*As of June 1, 2021, ACell is no longer used in conjunction with PRP (Platelet Rich Plamsa).

PRP technology is so good that our Clinic Director Darren Andrews had it done himself. Check out his video below!

How Much Does a Hair Restoration Cost?

At PAI Medical Group of Indiana, one of the most common questions we get is: “How much do you charge per graft?” The answer? We don’t.

The reason we don’t charge per graft at PAI is that it simply isn’t accurate. A hair graft could have anywhere from one hair to up to 9 hairs. It wouldn’t be right to charge the same for a thousand single hair grafts as a thousand 5 hair grafts. The more accurate way is to understand how much coverage you need. There are numerous aspects that go into figuring this out.

First, we evaluate the donor area, looking for the number of hairs per follicle, number of follicles per square centimeter, and we evaluate the tissue in the area. This allows us to understand how many and what type of grafts we can take from that area. It takes a certain number of hairs to cover a certain square centimeter, so after we evaluate the tissue, we then know how much coverage we can achieve. Different areas also require different types of grafts, so it’s not until you’ve had the evaluation that it can truly be understood what is needed and what can be done.

Clinic Director Darren Andrews put it this way “It’s like calling your physician and saying, ‘Hey, I’ve hurt my knee. How much to fix it?’ Until we see you, we can’t look and say, ‘ Here’s your cost.’”

In general our transplants at PAI range between $5,000 and $16,000 depending on what you need. At PAI, we’re going to educate you on what is best for you. A hair transplant is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every procedure is done differently. On WeGrowHairIndy.com we have plentiful before and afters of numerous procedures. Hair transplants are individualized based on what you need. How much hair do you need? We’re going to educate you on your hair and scalp’s condition and determine which is the best route to meet your goals and expectations.

Gunner 1 Year Update!

It's been one year and Gunner's hair is back! It's almost hard to believe that only 12 months ago Gunner had his Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure at PAI. His results speak for themselves, and that's why you've probably seen his face on one of our billboards and even on TV! That's right, the hardest working guy in radio is now on TV too!

Let’s recap Gunner's journey to looking like his 35 year old self again. Gunner was a perfect candidate for our trademarked Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure. This procedure can transplant up to three times the hair in a single procedure when compared to other traditional techniques. That's right, Gunner's amazing results came after just a single Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure. During this procedure we take both individual follicular units as well as multi-unit groups from the back and side of the head where they are genetically permanent and transplant them to the affected areas of hair loss. The end result of this procedure is your own permanent, natural, growing hair where you are losing it! You can even get a sneak peak of Gunner getting a hair cut at our facility on our last appearance on Indy Style TV here: http://wishtv.com/2017/09/08/darren-andrews-gives-tracy-a-tour-of-the-pai-medical-group-facility/ But Gunner didn't just stop at getting a Multi-Unit procedure. He also supplemented his procedure with Platelet Rich Plasma treatments and Laser Hair Therapy, two of the hottest hair restoration options on the market today.

Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, uses your own stem cells to re-grow your hair! Blood is drawn and put in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma. At PAI we also add ACell to the plasma. ACell is a naturally occurring matrix of proteins found in tissue layers. This has the effect of stimulating the stem cells in areas of damaged tissue to regenerate dormant follicular tissue which increases hair growth as well as the health of the hair follicles.

At PAI we have every cutting-edge option available, which means that Gunner was not only able to take advantage of stem cell technology to grow his hair back, but lasers as well! Low Level Laser Light Therapy is a FDA approved and proven non- surgical approach to thickening your hair and stimulating the blood cells in the scalp to assist with growth. What's most amazing about Laser Hair Therapy is the consistency of the results produced. 100% of men and women had stabilization of hair loss in the frontal and vertex areas, over 80% of men saw re-growth across all areas, and 75% of women saw re-growth in the frontal area.

Because he came to PAI, Gunner had every proven hair restoration option available to him, and now has his hair and confidence back because of it! If you or someone you know is suffering from hair loss, give PAI Medical Group of Indiana a call! You can reach us at 888-724-5129 or visit us online at WeGrowHairIndy.com! While you're there you can check out Gunner's progress from the day he stepped in for his first consultation to the full head of hair you see now! If you'd rather check in on his radio partner Don Stuck from Q95's Stuck and Gunner, you can do that too! Stuck may only be 4 months into his growth, but the results that he is already seeing are incredible. Call today and set up your free and private evaluation so that you too can grow your hair back and see equally incredible results!

PAI Indy Style Tour

Darren Andrews, the Clinic Director of PAI Medical Group of Indiana got to give Indy Style's Tracy Forner a tour of the PAI Indy facility this month! PAI has the largest hair restoration facility in not just Indiana, but the entire Mid-West! We use every bit of that space to offer every clinically proven hair restoration technique as well as post operation services from follow ups to haircuts.

First Darren showed Tracy the state of the art ARTAS™ robotic FUE robot in action. The ARTAS™ robot is the most technologically advanced system of its kind in the world. It uses 3D mapping and mathematical algorithms to find and select the perfect follicular units to be transplanted to the top of the scalp. Because of the level of precision and accuracy that the ARTAS™ robot provides, there is no perceivable sign that the hair has been transplanted once it has grown in. There is no linear scar associated with older hair transplantation techniques and it is virtually painless. PAI Medical Group of Indiana is the only hair restoration clinic with this technology in the entire state of Indiana! ARTAS™ isn't the only procedure that can only be found at PAI, we are the only clinic that offers Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ which can transplant up to three times the hair in a single procedure when compared to other traditional techniques.

Next Darren showed off our private confidential laser treatment rooms, where we ran into a familiar face, Don Stuck from Fox Sports 97.5! Stuck loves coming in twice a week for his laser treatments. "This is my quiet time. I come in here twice a week, close the door, put on the shades, and read the phone." Laser hair therapy is great for those in the beginning stages of hair loss as well as those like Stuck who want to use it to supplement growth from another procedure to help the hair grow back faster, thicker, and fuller than ever. Take a look at this before and after of Don Stuck only 4 months after his Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure! Stuck also had Platelet Rich Plasma therapy in addition to the laser treatments to give his hair every possible advantage. PRP uses your own stem cells to help re-grow your hair, its cutting edge technology that you can expect to find when you come to PAI.

The next stop on the tour was the post transplant services area where we ran into Gunner from Q95 and Fox Sports 97.5's Stuck and Gunner, getting a haircut! That's right, you can even get a haircut at PAI. Whether you're the busiest guy in radio, or the busiest guy in your cubicle squadron, at PAI you'll be treated like a VIP from the day you step through the door for you free hair and scalp analysis to the day that you walk out with a full head of hair again.

Finally Darren took Tracy to a consultation room to see a follow up. At PAI we use high tech microscopes to not only see, but also show you your scalp on a screen at a follicular level. This allows us to come up with a treatment plan that will best help your specific condition and needs. On top of all of this, at PAI we are so confident in our procedures, techniques, and team that we guarantee our work. You WILL see results.

If you're experiencing hair loss, give PAI Medical Group of Indiana a call at 888-724-5129 or visit us online at WeGrowHairIndy.com to see hundreds of testimonials, before and after pictures, and check out some of our VIP's pages to see their results tracked stage by stage so you can see the progress take place over time.
