Hair & Scalp
Hair fall can have many causes, from temporary shedding to nutritional, hormonal, inflammatory or pattern-related conditions. Correct diagnosis is more important than choosing a procedure first.
People concerned about hair fall & hair loss may consider a dermatology consultation when the concern is persistent, changing, uncomfortable or affecting confidence. Suitability for any treatment depends on individual assessment.
Assessment considers the concern, relevant history, skin or hair characteristics, previous care, goals and medical suitability before options are discussed.
Our approach
A dermatologist may assess the history, scalp and hair pattern and recommend investigations or treatment where appropriate. Procedures such as PRP or GFC may be considered for selected patients.
Your appointment begins with a consultation and assessment. Dr. Shreedha Khatavkar will discuss the concern, relevant history, suitable options and realistic expectations. If treatment is appropriate, you will receive guidance on the proposed plan and follow-up.
Recovery, downtime and aftercare vary according to the treatment selected and individual response. Specific guidance is provided after assessment and should be followed carefully.
Results
Results vary between individuals. Where genuine patient photographs are available and appropriate consent has been obtained, the website may display treatment journeys and follow-up images. No artificial before-and-after imagery is used. Photographs are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Some daily hair shedding is normal, but persistent, sudden, excessive or visibly progressive shedding deserves assessment. Hair loss accompanied by scalp symptoms or patchy areas should also be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Hair loss can have many causes, including genetic or pattern-related hair loss, temporary shedding after illness or stress, nutritional or hormonal factors, inflammatory scalp conditions and other medical causes. Identifying the cause is important before choosing treatment.
Blood tests are not necessary for every person with hair fall. A dermatologist may recommend selected investigations when the history or examination suggests a nutritional, hormonal, systemic or other underlying cause.
PRP may be considered for selected types of hair loss, but it is not suitable for every cause and response varies. It should be considered after a diagnosis and discussion of other appropriate treatment options.
Hair treatment usually requires patience because hair grows slowly and different causes respond at different rates. The timeframe depends on the diagnosis and treatment plan, and progress is normally assessed over follow-up visits.
