Hair fall is common, but persistent or excessive hair shedding can sometimes indicate an underlying scalp, hormonal, nutritional, genetic or medical concern.
At SkinHealth in Mira Road, Dr Safa Patrick provides personalised treatment for men and women experiencing excessive hair shedding, hair thinning, patchy hair loss and progressive loss of hair density.
Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the hair, scalp, medical history and pattern of hair loss. Depending on the suspected cause, the plan may include dermatologist-prescribed medicines, topical treatments, nutritional correction, scalp care and selected procedures such as PRP or GFC when clinically appropriate.
Hair Fall Treatment in Mira Road
Hair fall does not have one single cause. Dr Safa Patrick evaluates:
- Pattern and duration of hair loss
- Hair density and scalp condition
- Recent illness or physical stress
- Diet and nutritional status
- Hormonal factors and family history
- Medicines and medical conditions
- Menstrual or reproductive factors where relevant
- Previous hair loss treatments
Based on the assessment, an individualised treatment plan can be developed.
Common Types of Hair Loss
Telogen effluvium can cause increased shedding after stress, illness, fever, surgery, rapid weight change or nutritional problems; addressing the trigger is important.
Androgenetic alopecia, or pattern hair loss, causes gradual thinning in men and women and can present as a receding hairline, crown thinning or reduced density.
Alopecia areata can cause sudden, well-defined patches of loss and requires dermatological evaluation. Diffuse hair loss involves thinning across a larger scalp area.
Women may have genetic, hormonal, nutritional, stress-related or medical causes. Men commonly have pattern loss, but other shedding or scalp conditions can occur.
Hair and Scalp Assessment
A proper diagnosis is an important step in treatment. During consultation, the dermatologist may assess scalp health, hair shaft and density, thinning pattern, active shedding, inflammation or scaling, duration and progression, and relevant medical and family history. Additional investigations may be recommended only where clinically necessary.
Contributing factors can include stress, illness, nutritional deficiency, hormonal or thyroid-related changes, rapid weight loss, restrictive diets, genetic predisposition, medicines, scalp disorders, post-pregnancy changes and inflammatory or autoimmune conditions.
Hair Fall Treatments at SkinHealth
Treatment depends on the diagnosis. Dermatologist-prescribed medicines or topical treatment may be used for selected conditions. When a nutritional deficiency is identified, correction may form part of the plan; supplements should not be taken unnecessarily.
PRP may be considered for selected patients with certain thinning patterns. GFC and other regenerative options may also be considered for suitable patients. Their suitability depends on the diagnosis, degree of loss, treatment goals and clinical assessment.
When to See a Dermatologist for Hair Fall
