Q95's Gunner Gets a Hair Transplant at PAI Medical Group Indiana

12:57 PM WeGrowHairIndy 24 Comments




Recently, Q95 Afternoon Drive personality, Gunner, chose to get a hair transplant at PAI Medical Group Indiana and we've been following his hair restoration journey. Now you can watch his actual transplant procedure in the above video. It's an informative look at the entire process and this is a for you to have a first hand look at a hair transplant procedure and, along the way, Gunner relates his thoughts on the experience.

Gunner chose Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™, a trademarked and exclusive procedure only performed at PAI in Indianapolis. Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™  is a state of the art hair transplant procedure which allows for more donor hairs to be placed at one time than other typical transplant methods. This means greater density and a more natural result. Gunner is also boosting his growth and  healing by also receiving PRP treatments. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and actually uses the client's own stem cells to promote healing and growth.

PAI Medical Group Indiana Clinic Director Darren Andrews explains the art behind hair transplants - creating the perfect new hairline for Gunner and how the PAI Medical team is able to match the natural growth patterns of Gunner's existing hair. The video then stays with Gunner throughout the entire day of procedure so viewers will be able to see exactly how a hair transplant works.

Healthy hairs are harvested from the back of Gunner's scalp and then a team of technicians meticulously prepare and place approximately 7,000 hairs into the balding areas in which Gunner is looking for improvement. Gunner's comment? "This has been beyond what I expected in terms of smooth sailing. There's nothing to it."

Gunner went back to PAI Medical Group Indiana the next day for a checkup and to take advantage of Laser Hair Therapy, which is also offered at PAI. Much like the PRP treatment, Laser Hair Therapy encourages new growth, while thickening the existing follicles.

The video provides a fascinating look into Multi-Unit HairGrafting™. Gunner even shares pics of his scalp both 5 and 10 days post procedure to give you an idea of what you can expect, should you choose to receive a Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ procedure. Full results will develop in approximately 6 to 8 months, as these new hairs continue to grow.

The Evolution of Hair Transplant Technology

12:58 PM WeGrowHairIndy 22 Comments


Hair Transplantation has come a long way since it began in the early 1950s. Thanks to numerous technological advances, what was once fueled by superstition and old wives tales has slowly been replaced with scientific progression. The “corn row” or “doll’s hair” look that was previously associated with hair transplantation has evolved into modern-day follicular unit procedures with robotic assistance and non-surgical alternatives including Laser Hair Therapy and even more recently PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.

In the early 50s, Dr. Norman Orentreich began to experiment with the idea of relocating hair on the back and sides of the head to areas of thinning hair or balding. Dr. Orentreich’s experiments showed that healthy hair that is harvested from the back and sides of the scalp that is transplanted to balding areas of the top of the head will continue to grow as if it were still in its original location. This “Donor Dominance” principle laid the foundation for modern hair transplantation.

During the 60s and 70s, hair transplants grew in popularity. Surgical techniques began to change with the use of large grafts known as “plugs” that were removed by round punches. 

Mini-grafting, the use of small grafts cut from a strip of donor tissue was introduced in 1984. Combinations of mini and micro-grafts created fullness and density and softened the frontal hairline. Procedures that used larger grafts in the center of the patient’s scalp with smaller grafts around them to make their results look more natural were called Mini-Micro Grafting. 

The introduction of Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) by Drs. Bernstein and Rassman in 1995 increased the skills required by the surgeon and staff performing the hair transplant.  During Follicular Unit Transplantation, stereo-microscopic graft dissection is used to transplant a patient’s hair in its naturally occurring groups. By the year 2000, FUT was considered the “gold standard” of surgical hair restoration.

Today, some of the leading hair restoration surgeons perform an ultra-refined follicular unit hair transplant procedure, using extremely tiny incisions that allow them to “tightly pack” tiny grafts when it’s necessary. This ultra-refined follicular unit procedure allows patients to achieve their desired density in a given area of their scalp in only one surgical session. PAI Medical Group is proud to offer Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™, producing natural appearing results that are age and gender specific.



PAI Medical Group Indiana is also proud to offer the ARTAS Robotic FUE Procedure, a seemingly futuristic, minimally invasive hair transplantation solution that leverages digital imaging and precision robotics to harvest healthy grafts for transplantation. Unlike previous methods, there is no need for the surgical removal of a strip of the scalp, no linear scar left after the procedure and no need for stitches or staples to close the wound. The benefit is a tremendously fast recovery time and the ability to return to normal activities and work sooner.



Though the procedures may have changed over the years, our dedication towards restoring your confidence and ensuring your comfort throughout the hair restoration process has never wavered. At PAIMedical Group Indiana, we’re here to help you. If you are suffering the effects of hair loss and need a solution custom-fit to your needs call PAI Medical Group Indiana at 317.522.2989 to book your FREE consultation today.
