As hair loss remains a widespread concern globally, advancements in technology have paved the way for more permanent solutions to combat the condition. In this blog, we will delve into these various treatments and examine which one might be the most effective in addressing hair loss. Join us as we explore the best options available for those seeking lasting results.

Introduction:

Hair loss is a persistent condition that impacts millions of people globally and tends to worsen if not treated early. Many individuals initially turn to home remedies, but when those prove insufficient, they often move on to topical medications and multivitamins prescribed by doctors.

Medications for Hair Loss

The application of topical hair loss solutions like Minoxidyl, Redensyl and Procapil has gained a wider understanding by the general public who have increasingly relied on such solutions to mitigate hair loss, albeit to only a certain extent.

Such topical solutions do help in fighting hair fall but they have their limitations. Over time, the body gets accustomed to the medication and the returns start diminishing after a period of 6 to 9 months, eventually returning to a stage of hair loss again. A similar reaction can be observed when topical solutions are used to increase blood circulation to hair follicles.

Regenerative Medicine Practice

The field of regenerative medicine can be segregated into 4 segments:

  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment
  • Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) treatment
  • Mesotherapy
  • Hair Transplantation

Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment:

Generally recommended for stage 2 and 3 of hair fall, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is the ‘go-to’ treatment for many clinics around the world where the patient’s own blood is put inside a centrifuge using a test tube. The centrifuge splits the blood based on its density and the plasma is extracted using a syringe. The plasma enhances the process of regeneration, even when injected into the scalp. It has the ability to control and regrow hair right from the follicle.

Growth Factor Concentrate

Growth Factor Concentrate can be termed as an advanced version ofPRP treatment where a gel with biotin is added to the test tube before placing it into the centrifuge. The process activates the blood before extracting the plasma and injecting it into the scalp and starts the repair process within 4 hours of injecting, making it one of the best options for hair re-growth and to control hair-loss.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a laboratory made vial containing Peptides to revive the health condition of the follicles which is usually used when hair-loss is milder and not drastic. Mesotherapy works well on women experiencing hair-loss due to stress, tension, lack of nutrients as well.

Hair Transplant

A hair transplant is the best solution for hair loss because of the fact that it is permanent while other solutions do not guarantee the same. Hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, which is simply the area from which hair follicles are chosen to be implanted.

Now basic FUE involves extraction of hair follicular unit grafts which are the bunch of hair follicles, sometime constituted in single, 2 hairs, 3hair and also 4 hairs from 1 graft. These grafts are extracted carefully using a motor attached with a hollow needle punch, then are harvested and stored in a special fluid before implants.

The last process of a hair transplant is implanting those hair follicular unit grafts. Those hair follicles are implanted in the channels created on the scalp by the surgeon with needles.

These follicles will eventually fall away with a month. The true growth is only observed after a period of 3 months. By month 9, the hair follicles are completely grown and settled on the new implanted areas.

Implanted method FUE, Simultaneous implanting process FUE, Titanium FUE and the latest and most advanced implanting method is Sapphire micro-FUE performed in MAX Hair clinics.

So, its well understood that when in initial stages of hair-loss we need to save those with topical applications, Regenerative medicine practice, Oxygen laser therapy but when the scalp goes follicle less then Hair transplant is the best option which is just an one day process.
