Hair Care

The treatment for alopecia (hair loss) or baldness depends on the specific type of alopecia, its underlying cause, and individual factors. Here are common treatments for different types of alopecia:

1. **Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness):**
– **Minoxidil:** A topical over-the-counter medication applied directly to the scalp, believed to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
– **Finasteride:** A prescription medication for men that inhibits the action of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with male pattern baldness.

2. **Alopecia Areata:**
– **Corticosteroids:** Topical, injectable, or oral corticosteroids to suppress the immune response causing hair loss.
– **Topical Immunotherapy:** Chemicals like diphencyprone or squaric acid dibutyl ester applied to the scalp to induce an allergic reaction, potentially stimulating hair growth.

3. **Traction Alopecia:**
– **Preventive Measures:** Avoiding tight hairstyles and reducing the use of hair extensions or weaves to prevent further damage.
– **Topical Treatments:** Minoxidil may be recommended to stimulate hair growth.

4. **Scarring Alopecia:**
– **Treatment of Underlying Cause:** Addressing the underlying cause if scarring alopecia is due to a specific condition.
– **Anti-inflammatory Medications:** Corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed.

5. **Telogen Effluvium:**
– **Identifying and Addressing Underlying Cause:** Managing stress, addressing nutritional deficiencies, and treating hormonal imbalances.
– **Nutritional Supplements:** Iron, zinc, and vitamins may be recommended if deficiencies are identified.

6. **Hair Transplantation:**
– Surgical procedure involving the transplantation of hair follicles from a donor area to the balding area.

7. **Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:**
– Involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and injecting the PRP into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles.

8. **Laser Therapy:**
– Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices, such as laser combs or helmets, stimulate hair follicles with low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes.

9. **Lifestyle Changes:**
– Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management.

10. **Nutritional Supplements:**
– Biotin, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids are sometimes recommended to support hair health.

It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist, to determine the specific cause of hair loss and develop a personalized treatment plan. Not all types of hair loss are reversible, and the effectiveness of treatments can vary among individuals. Patience is often required, as some treatments may take time before results are noticeable.

Hair loss is quite common in today’s day and age. Most prevalent in older adults, even younger individuals might face hair loss. At our clinic, we offer you the best hair fall treatment which is best suited for your hair type and hair loss patterns.

A typical individual loses around 100 strands of hair per day which is considered to be a normal amount even though it sounds quite alarming. Your head has more than 1,00,000 hair on it so losing such an amount of hair is barely noticeable. New hair normally replaces the lost hair, but this doesn’t always happen.

Hair loss may occur suddenly or over a period of time and it might simply affect your scalp or your whole body. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying causes.

Effective treatments for hair loss are available based on the type and degree of hair loss you are facing. These treatments might help you to reverse hair loss, or at least slow it. With some conditions, hair might grow back over a period of time with medication and prescription drugs, whereas, some conditions might require some more extensive treatments.

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves micro injections of a nutrient-rich solution into the scalp. The solution contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients that are essential for hair growth. These nutrients help to stimulate the hair follicles and improve blood circulation to the scalp, which in turn promotes hair growth.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a medical procedure that has been used to address hair loss. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood and contains concentrated platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins. The idea is that when PRP is injected into the scalp, it can stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve hair thickness. Here’s an overview of PRP treatment for hair loss:

Procedure:

1. Blood Collection:
   • A small amount of the patient’s blood (usually from the arm) is drawn.
2. Centrifugation:
   • The blood is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate the PRP from other blood components.
3. Injection:
   • The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the scalp in the areas experiencing hair loss or thinning.

Mechanism of Action:

• Growth Factors: PRP contains growth factors that may stimulate the activity of hair follicles and promote hair growth.
• Improved Blood Circulation: The injection of PRP is thought to improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen.
• Cell Proliferation: PRP may encourage cell proliferation and tissue repair in the hair follicles.
