Hair loss is very common and can occur at any age. It is a misconception that hair loss is limited to the scalp only. Hair loss can affect your eyebrows/eyelashes too. Sometimes hairloss leaves ugly patches which impacts a person's self confidence.
Alopecia is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks hair follicles leading to hair loss.
The dermatologist gets to the root cause of the hair loss before starting any treatment. The session with your doctor will involve an interactive session to understand the issue and look for other tell- tale signs of any underlying problems. Based on the findings of this session , a further course of treatment is recommended.
Hair loss and Alopecia treatments may or may not require surgical interventions. And that again is totally based on the findings of your doctor.
The treatments may involve offering false hair, giving prescription topical medicines to apply and in some cases transplantation.
Please note that the same line of treatment does not work for everybody. It is totally dependent on multiple factors, like your age, underlying conditions, any medical history, demographics etc.
Visit an experienced dermatologist to understand why you are losing hair and then make an informed decision to get the right treatment.
PRP Therapy for hair loss
Plasma-rich platelet therapy is a promising treatment for hair loss. It accelerates your hair growth and helps in restoring the lost hair by leveraging on the human body’s self healing ability. PRP therapy has minimal side effects.
Alovia clinic is well equipped to perform PRP therapy. Talk to our experts to understand the process.
PRP therapy, aka platelet rich plasma therapy, is a safe and effective hair loss treatment. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, separating it into parts with the help of a centrifuge machine, and then injecting the plasma into the area with hair loss. It stimulates the growth of healthy cells which replace the damaged tissues.
It is a short and safe procedure and can be done in as less as 10-15 minutes and does not have a recovery time. However, repeat injections are needed once in 3-6 months, depending on the severity of your condition.
There are minimal side effects like infection in the area of injection, tenderness etc. Discuss these with your doctor before the treatment.
PRP is also used for muscles, joints, tendon and ligament injuries and post-surgical repairs.
Laser treatment for hair removal
As the name suggests, laser hair removal is a process that uses a laser beam to remove the unwanted hair on the face or any other part of the body like armpits, bikini lines, etc. It works on the principle that the beam of light generates heat and destroys the hair follicle, preventing regrowth.
Usually, the effect of the treatment lasts long, and in many cases hair may not grow back also. It is of course very subjective and varies from patient to patient.
After the procedure, simple precautions need to be followed, like avoiding direct exposure to the sun or source of heat and UV rays.
Laser hair removal has no downtime with minimal side effects like slight discomfort, mild redness, and swelling if you have sensitive skin. Your dermatologist will give you the necessary treatment if any of this happens. However, in some extremely rare cases, blistering, infections, and scarring may occur.
Laser hair removal should be done by an experienced dermatologist. It can prove dangerous if not done properly leading to burns and scars. The dermatologists at Alovia are well versed with the procedure and have the necessary expertise to conduct laser hair removal. Reach out to us to know more.
