Hair Fall Treatment

Hair fall has many causes, and the right treatment depends on which one applies to you. Treatment at DR HAIR® India starts with diagnosis — examining your scalp and hair, reviewing your health history and, where it would help, blood tests — before any course of treatment is recommended.

Losing some hair every day is normal. Shedding that is noticeably heavier than usual, a widening parting, a receding hairline or patches of hair loss are reasons to get checked.

What causes hair fall?

• Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) – male and female pattern hair loss
• Nutritional deficiencies – such as low iron, vitamin D or protein
• Hormonal changes – thyroid disorders, PCOS and hair loss after pregnancy
• Telogen effluvium – heavy shedding a few months after illness, fever, surgery, crash dieting or major stress
• Scalp conditions – dandruff (seborrhoeic dermatitis), fungal infection or inflammation
• Lifestyle and hair care – smoking, tight hairstyles, harsh chemical treatments and excessive heat styling

Which treatments are used for hair fall?

• Treating the cause – correcting a deficiency, managing a thyroid problem or treating a scalp condition often matters more than any procedure.
• Medical treatment – medicines such as minoxidil, and others your doctor may prescribe, are the foundation of treatment for pattern hair loss.
• PRP therapy – platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, injected into the scalp to support weakening follicles.
• GFC therapy – a more concentrated growth-factor preparation from your own blood, used in the same way.
• Low-level laser therapy – a light-based treatment that may modestly improve hair density, used alongside other treatment.
• Mesotherapy – micro-injections of vitamins and nutrients into the scalp; the evidence for it is more limited.

Most plans combine more than one approach. Results vary between individuals, take several months to judge, and pattern hair loss usually needs ongoing treatment to maintain any improvement.

When is a hair transplant considered?

For areas that have become bald, an FUE or FUT hair transplant moves follicles from the back and sides of the scalp to where they have been lost. Transplanted hair is generally resistant to pattern hair loss and usually lasts long term, but it does not stop the surrounding hair from thinning, so medical treatment usually continues alongside it.
