Hair Loss Treatment In Indore

Dr. Bansal's Hair Clinic, Indore

Alopecia, or hair loss, is the partial or total loss of hair from the scalp and/or other body regions. It may be:

Temporary factors: for example, stress, hormonal changes

Progressive (e.g., male or female pattern baldness)

Caused by disease or medication

Common types:

Androgenetic alopecia - hereditary, hormonal (most common)

Telogen effluvium: usually due to stress, illness, or medication

Alopecia areata - autoimmune disorder

Traction alopecia - from tight hairstyles

Scarring alopecia: from inflammation or infection destroying hair follicles

What to Treatment & Prevention

1. Keeping the Scalp Healthy

Regularly wash with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo.

Massage your scalp to increase blood flow.

Prevent oil and dandruff buildup.

2. Nutrition

Consume foods that are rich in protein, iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin, and omega-3s.

Good choices include eggs, fish, nuts, spinach, avocados, and beans.

3. Medical Treatments

Minoxidil (Rogaine): topical solution that stimulates hair growth.

Propecia-Oral; Finasteride: an oral medication available for men that diminishes hair loss by blocking DHT.

LLLT improves follicle health.

PRP injections involve using your own blood plasma to stimulate growth.

Hair transplantation is an available surgical approach for advanced cases of androgenetic alopecia.

4. Lifestyle Habits

Reduce stress: yoga, sleep, exercise, meditation.

Drink plenty of water.

Early treatment of dandruff or scalp infections.

What Not to Do

Avoid braids, ponytails, buns, and other tight hairstyles that put tension on the scalp.

❌ Avoid overusing harsh chemicals-bleach, dyes, and relaxers.

Avoid frequent heat styling (with blow dryers, straighteners, etc.)

Don't self-medicate with unverified herbal or online treatments.

❌ Avoid smoking and limit your alcohol intake; both can reduce circulation to follicles.

Diseases & Medical Causes

Cause Description: What to Do

Thyroid disorders, Hypo/hyperthyroidism, affect hair growth. Get thyroid function tests

Iron deficiency anemia. Low iron reduces oxygen to follicles. Take iron supplements if deficient

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Hormonal imbalance in women, Hormone therapy, or birth control

Lupus, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. The body attacks hair follicles. See a specialist: dermatologist or endocrinologist

Fungal infections, such as tinea capitis, cause patchy bald spots. Antifungal medication

Stress or trauma triggers temporary hair shedding, known as telogen effluvium. Manage stress, proper nutrition

When to Seek Medical Care

Seek medical advice if you notice:

Sudden, patchy, or excessive hair loss.

Itching, redness, or scaling on the scalp. Hair loss after medication or illness. Family history of baldness and early thinning.
