Hair Loss Treatment

Healthy hair is one of the most attractive features that a person can have. A lustrous head of hair is also indicative of a healthy life.   While hair colour, structure and growth of hair are primarily determined by hormones and genetics; there can be other factors such as medication, diet, hairstyle , UV damage etc that can impact hair health. SKINCLINIC expert dermatologists use a variety of hair loss treatment such as the alopecia areata treatment, that is customised to individual needs, to enhance hair growth, volume, and texture.

Hair Loss - Male

This is the most common form of hair loss seen in men. It has a strong genetic predisposition and is usually a hereditary disorder. The hair loss is dependent on the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is responsible for causing miniaturization of the hair follicles which leads to thinning and loss of hair in a patterned form.

The hair loss is usually bitemporal with frontal thinning and loss from the vertex which appears as a receding hairline. This pattern is unique to men with androgenetic alopecia.

The severity has grades from 1 to 7 according to the Hamilton – Norwood scale. Proper medical intervention in the early stages can help prevent the progression of this condition and help restore healthy hair on the scalp.

Hair Loss - Female

In women, the pattern of hair loss is different, as compared to men. Hereditary factors do play an important role, as does hormonal imbalance which may usually occur post-pregnancy or during menopause. The hair usually starts thinning and the hair loss is most noticeable with the widening of the middle parting. The hair density is usually reduced over the frontal and crown area.

The severity in women has 5 grades according to the Ludwig classification. A detailed investigation by the dermatologist and a proper treatment designed according to your needs and deficiencies will help reduce hair fall and reverse the condition.

Hair Loss - Patchy

This condition presents as patchy hair loss over the scalp and may also be seen over the beard and other body parts. It may be associated with itching, tingling and increased sensitivity. This is usually immune-mediated and seen commonly in people with a history of allergies. This condition is reversible, and, with the right treatment and timely intervention, the hair growth is revived.

Dandruff

Dandruff is a common condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake. While a dry scalp is the most common cause, excessive sebum production (oily scalp), skin microorganisms, sensitivity to hair care products and sometimes other skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis can also lead to dandruff.

The main cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis, a condition that turns the skin oily, red, and scaly. The white or yellow scales flake off, creating dandruff.
