Hairfall and its remedy It Starts

Hairfall and its remedy;

Today hairfall is the most common issue affecting all ages right from ages of 5 years till old age. Every one has different reasons for their hairfall which usually starts as a sudden onset and can linger on for many months and years leading to significant loss of volume of hair and tinning on top of head.

The most common reason for hairfall tends to be lifestyle induced stress. This stress can be physical due to long hectic hours of work or study, arising from late nights and lack of good quality sleep. To add to this, are poor eating habits like avoiding certain nutritious foods or eating at wrong times which can make one deficient in essential micronutrients required for good hair growth. Late nights cause an upset of digestive systems that cause poor absorption of nutrients from our diet, despite eating a “healthy nutritious” diet. Coupled with physical stress, is the mental stress that takes its toll on sleep and mood. This also restricts many normal physiological processes that affect our haircycle length leading to excess hairfall.

To add to the stress of hairfall is the presence of dandruff that makes the scalp very greasy and hair becomes dry and frizzy. Managing such hair tresses is very difficult and frustrating. Dandruff is sign of weakness of immune system that starts to fail under the effect of stress. This dandruff is an overgrowth of fungus, Pityrosporum ovale, which is present on the scalp of every human being and is supposed to protect us from other more infectious bacteria and fungi.

Juvenis Clinic specializes in identifying the root cause of hairfall for each patient and tailor make treatments that will stop hairfall within 2 months and then regrow hair within the next 4 months. Emphasis is laid more on lifestyle modifications as they will help a lot in treatment outcomes. A mix of oral medications (antifungals, hair vitamins, etc) and applications that help in stopping hairfall and grow hair are given along with the right kind of shampoo and conditioner for the hair type.

Dr Nilesh Goyal also specializes in Nanofat/ SVF injections for hair regrowth. This is modified fat that is rich in stem cells and growth factors that helps in regrowing hair in most types of alopecia. This is proven to be far superior to PRP which has only growth factors.

Genetic cause of alopecia results in patterned hair loss in males and females. It is caused by the effect of DiHydroTestosterone (DHT) on the hair cycle length and its diameter. This eventually causes roots to disappear leading to balding. Treatment is aimed to cut off the effect of DHT on hair roots in the form of DHT blockers ( 5 alpha reductase inihibitors) like Finasteride and Dutasteride along with application of Minoxidil. Hair Transplant Surgery is considered when there are gaps that are not filled with medical therapy. Juvenis clinic follows the latest technique for HT surgery ie. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) HT surgery ie. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method of acquiring grafts and implantation with two forceps method.
