Treatments for Hair-Fall:
Lots of options are present for treating the problem of hair-loss. Many people first try to use natural home remedies before visiting a dermatologist. But in most cases, these home remedies take lot more time to show any effect and also they may not even work in most scenarios.

Dermatological Hair-fall treatment options in India
Many people in India now prefer to consult a doctor for treating hair-loss. Many people also opt for hair transplant.

Following are the different hair-fall treatment options available:

Medicines:
Studies show that the hair follicle is strengthened by Biotin. This also promotes hair growth. Biotin is also a very costly vitamin which is found in vitamin B-complex tablets in very less amount.Higher amount of biotin, i.e. around 8-10mg, is available in vitamins that are specifically targeted to hair-fall. Biotin is also present in large amount in non-vegetarian food like organ meat and eggs. Dairy products are also rich source of biotin. Dark Green vegetables like cabbage, lettuce and other leafy vegetables are also providers of biotin.Eating nuts like walnuts and almonds can also prove beneficial.

Any lotion which has Minoxidil, is often prescribed for hair-loss problem. This lotion is used in initial stages. This lotion increases the blood circulation to the scalp, hence reducing hair-fall.

Finasteride is also another medicine which will help to reduce the male hormone on hair follicle. It prevents conversion of hair follicle into the active hormone. But this medicine can cause side effects so should only be used by consulting a skin specialist.

Mesotherapy:
In this treatment, small injections of stem cells are given in the skin. These injections are given such that they will provide maximum benefit with less wastage. As this process is little painful, some local numbing cream is applied to minimize this pain.


Microneedling:
In this procedure, a roller blade like device called as dermaroller is rubbed gently on the areas where you have hair-loss. This will cause irritation of skin which will stimulate the stem cells that are present in deeper part of hair follicle. These stem cells later grow and have the ability to develop into new hair follicles. This treatment is very beneficial in the initial stages of a condition known as alopecia. We can further improve the effects by infusing growth factor or stem cells. The channels which are created in scalp by microneedling will enable active medicine to go deep in the deeper layer where it is more effective.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP):
In this process, the patient's blood samples will be taken in the morning. This blood sample is then processed and the platelets will be separated. Theses platelets will then be activated. The active platelets are then inserted in the area where the hair-loss is happening on the scalp with microneedling or by using direct injections. These activated platelets can help to reverse hair fall.


All these treatments are now available at affordable prices in many clinics across India. They can really be very helpful to treat the problem of baldness and hair-fall which can really make a person lose confidence. Many good doctors provide advanced Hair-fall treatment in India, which gives quick results. So if you face this problem and are finding it impossible to live with it, consult a dermatologist near you and enjoy a new and confident look.
