Hair Restoration Procedures

The doctor will examine the scalp and may ask for a blood test (if required) to determine the cause of hair loss. The treatments for hair restoration can be non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical procedures. Sometimes, doctors recommend a combination of treatments to get the best results. Some of the treatments used at our advanced skin and hair clinic are as follows: 

• Medication 
  The doctor will prescribe topical applications like Min-oxi-dil to use on the scalp to promote hair growth. Oral medication like fin-ast-eri-de is prescribed only for male pattern baldness, and spi-ron-ola-ctone is for female pattern baldness. Both pills have some side effects and take a few months to show the results. 
• Hair Transplantation
  Hair transplantation is a surgical process recommended for people with visible baldness. Hair strands from the healthier part of the scalp are removed and transplanted to the affected area. The procedure requires a few weeks of recovery time and needs special care to prevent infection. 
• P-R-P Therapy
  P-R-P (Pl-at-el-et Rich Pl-as-ma) is extracted from the blood drawn from your body and injected into the scalp where the hair is thinning. It is a regenerative therapy and requires multiple sessions. The results take time to show (a few weeks to six months or more), but there will be a visible improvement in hair growth. Your hair will also be healthier. 
• Direct Hair Fusion 
  DHF is a non-surgical procedure for hair restoration. It is a cosmetic process where a custom-made membrane is fitted onto the bald surface. The result looks natural and is easily manageable. Even though this is not a medical procedure, it has to be performed by trained experts to prevent side effects. 
• Microneedling
  A microneedling device contains hundreds of tiny needles that prick the skin to stimulate healing. Microneedling the scalp will stimulate hair growth by activating the follicles. It is a suitable treatment for mild to moderate hair loss for people aged between 20 and 35. Microneedling is combined with other treatments, like applying min-oxi-dil twice a day to achieve the best results. 
• Laser Therapy
  Low-level laser therapy is useful for treating alopecia areata, hereditary hair loss, and hair loss due to chemotherapy. It is a painless and non-invasive procedure but requires several sessions and takes time to deliver results. 
• Injections
  Cor-ti-cos-ter-oids are injected into the balding areas to stimulate hair growth in people with alopecia areata. You will need an injection multiple times every four to eight weeks for the hair follicles to activate and promote hair growth. 
• Nanofat Therapy 
  Nano fat is a regenerative therapy where fat is extracted from a part of your body and processed to derive stem cells. These are injected into the scalp to promote hair growth. It is a one-time procedure and delivers long-lasting results. 
• GFC Therapy 
  Growth Factor Concentrate is also a regenerative therapy similar to P-R-P. Here, the pl-as-ma is further processed to extract growth factors injected into the scalp. This treatment is more effective and requires several treatment sessions. 
• Dietary Supplements 
  Proper diet, sleep, and exercise can reduce hair loss and promote growth. Based on your blood reports, the doctor may prescribe supplements like biotin, zinc, iron, vitamins, etc..
