Hair Transplant & Restoration

Though other causes such as medical problems and stress must be ruled out, the commonest cause of balding is pattern baldness, also called androgenetic alopecia. The hair loss is due to two main factors — androgens (male hormones) and genetics inherited from either parent's side. It is seen as gradual thinning, where affected hair becomes smaller and smaller in a process called miniaturisation, setting in at adolescence and progressing steadily.

These are common misconceptions. Loss of up to 100 strands per day is normal. The loss of hair on the top of the head is not directly related to hair oils or the pressure of a helmet.

Medicines can help to retain existing hair by preventing the miniaturisation process from continuing, thereby reducing hair loss. However, they do not reverse hair that is already lost or thinned out.

Yes — there are several ways to help restore hair density, such as PRP, growth factor mesotherapy and stem cell treatment. These procedures help new hair grow and can be maintained to achieve a fuller volume of hair.

Platelet Rich Plasma is a treatment proven to be very effective for hair growth. It is extracted from the person's own blood and applied to the scalp. Improvement in hair quality and density is noticeable within a few months.

Low Level Laser Therapy is an FDA-approved treatment modality for hair. It is simple, non-invasive and shows results with consistent use.
