Hair loss affects millions of men and women globally, and it can begin as early as the late teens. Whether caused by genetics, stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or lifestyle habits, hair fall deeply impacts confidence and self-image. Thankfully, dermatology has evolved with advanced, minimally invasive treatments that not only control hair fall but also improve hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health.
This blog explores the most effective hair loss solutions available today — including PRP, laser therapies, and hair boosters — so you know exactly what works, who it’s for, and what results to expect
Before choosing a treatment, it is important to understand the root cause. The most common reasons include:
1. Genetic Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
This is the most common type, seen as widening parting in women and receding hairline or thinning crown in men.
2. Hormonal Imbalances
PCOS, thyroid issues, pregnancy, menopause, and stress-related hormone shifts can disturb the hair cycle.
3. Nutritional Deficiencies
Low levels of iron, Vitamin D, B12, zinc, protein, and biotin contribute significantly to hair thinning and breakage.
4. Stress & Lifestyle Factors
Chronic stress, lack of sleep, smoking, and harsh chemical treatments weaken hair follicles.
5. Medical Conditions
Scalp infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications can trigger hair fall.
A dermatologist identifies the exact cause through scalp analysis, medical history, and blood tests, helping create a personalized treatment plan.
What Is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses the healing power of your own blood. A small sample of blood is taken, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the scalp.
How PRP Helps:
Stimulates hair follicles
Improves blood circulation
Strengthens hair roots
Reduces hair fall
Promotes thicker, healthier hair
Extends the growth phase of the hair cycle
Who Is It Best For?
Early to moderate genetic hair loss
Post-pregnancy hair fall
Hair thinning due to stress or nutritional deficiency
Men and women who want natural results
What to Expect During the Procedure
Takes 45–60 minutes
Minimal discomfort
No downtime
Mild redness for a few hours
Results Timeline
Month 1–2: Reduced hair fall

A typical course includes 4–6 sessions done monthly, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is one of the most scientifically proven, non-invasive treatments for stimulating hair growth.
