Hair Loss Treatment in Mumbai, India
Generally, men/women, who have hair loss problems, try to hide it behind a new hairstyle, scarves, or hats. However, it is better to start treatment before the condition gets worse. Hair loss cannot just affect the hair on your scalp, but it can affect your body hair as well. Many of such cases are due to the patient’s genetic makeup or any medical condition. Sometimes hair loss can be due to your body’s reaction to specific medications as well.
Hair loss can affect anyone, irrespective of gender and age. The baldness caused by hair loss is more common in males than females and it affects more in old age and affects more if the patient has a family history of hair loss. Here at Esthetic Clinics, we offer many types of anti-hair loss treatment procedures.
What are the common causes of hair loss?
- The most common cause of hair loss is androgenic alopecia, which is informally known as male bald patterning. It can be due to hereditary reasons or due to aging. It is treated with an active form of the hormone testosterone called DHT.
- The female version of androgenic alopecia can be attributed to the hormonal disturbance in one’s body system which also can be hereditary.
- Another cause is Telogen effluvium, which is the type of hair loss caused by stress. This type of hair loss can also be caused due to illness, after childbirth, weight loss, pregnancy, or any kind of nutritional deficiency.
- Certain drugs like anti-cancer medications and radiation or chemotherapy for treatment can also cause hair loss.
- Patchy hair loss also termed alopecia areata, which occurs suddenly on any part of the body where hair grows.
- Trichotillomania, due to the pulling of hair deliberately; is a psychological disorder.
- Scarring alopecia occurs due to skin diseases like lichen planus, lupus, etc. and they are irreversible.
The type of hair loss can be determined by hormone level checks and blood tests as well. To determine the type of alopecia, a biopsy may be required in some cases.
Anti – Hair Loss Treatments
There are many types of treatments available for hair loss. The typical treatments sought by patients are medications, laser surgery, or normal surgery.
- Medication is the most common type of treatment asked by patients. If there is an underlying cause for hair loss such as any serious disease, possibly the medication for that disease is the reason behind hair loss. The two common types of medications allowed by the FDA to treat baldness are Minoxidil, which comes in foam or a liquid form to rub on the scalp and Propecia which is only used for alopecia (baldness) in men and can be taken in pill form. Both medications have certain side effects to take note of.
- In women, hormonal imbalance can be tackled with a healthy diet, exercise, and appropriate medications as well as any of the following treatments will solve the problem.
- Platelet-rich plasma injections – PRP injections are blood plasmas that are enriched with platelets that contain several growth factors and cytokines that are used for anti-hair loss treatment.
- Stem Cell Treatment – Stem cells are extracted from your own fat which is referred to as autologous stem cells and are injected into the affected area to revive hair follicles.
- QR678 Hair Growth Factor Injections Treatment – The epidermal hair follicles are regulated by a powerful interaction between the mesenchymal and epithelial cells in a series of processes of growth, transition, resting, and then fall. The mesenchymal cells release specific growth factors which are the ultimate stimulators of follicular epithelial cells which in turn multiply resulting in the full development of hair follicles.
It is the latest in non-surgical hair re-growth treatment developed by a team of expert medical professionals from India. A mixture of hair growth-specific factors is injected via multiple injections into the affected areas, in monthly sessions (8-10) of about 15 minutes each, over a span of 8-10 months. It is a targeted therapy involving the final growth molecules, i.e.: the growth factors, being administered directly in the hair roots. By-passing skin as well as blood barriers, hence supposedly, it should be a very effective therapy for most patterns of hair loss and virtually devoid of side effects. It can be an alternative to transplant in the earlier stages of alopecia and also work in cases where no other therapy has worked.
- Hair transplant surgery – Hair transplant surgery is for the later stages when hair growth with just medical means or support is not possible. Then Follicular unit transplant/extraction and the latest hair implanting techniques can be used.
- Possible risks involved in such a procedure include infection and scarring.
- Another type of surgery includes laser surgery. A low-level laser device is used to improve the overall development of the thickness of hair after its initial growth. This is a new procedure; therefore more research needs to be done on this therapy.
- Studies are underway for genetic remodeling for Androgenetic alopecia, generation of the hair follicle with stem cells in the laboratory, hair cloning, etc. However, they are still in the initial stages and will take years before they can be used in humans.
- Laser treatment can also be done as an adjunct though the results are unproven in clinical studies.
