Hair Loss Causes and Treatment

• From creams to injections and surgeries, we have
  seen the cosmetic industry and medical
  professionals provide hair loss treatment. Some
  of these treatments have worked, others are still
  in experiments, and others have been banished
  from the industry.
• If you are suffering from hair loss, you can only
  be guaranteed the necessary treatment from a Hair
  Loss Clinic in Mumbai such as The Esthetic
  Clinics, where they provide professional
  services.
• What Causes Hair Loss
• Hair loss is exactly what it sounds to be, losing
  hair. There are many reasons for this cause most
  of which are treatable. It may be from aging, a
  disease, a tragedy that happened and destroyed
  the hair follicles, or even a condition from
  birth.

Some hair products such as shampoos, oils, and
chemicals have also been reported to cause hair
loss. Baldness among men and some women is common
and is mostly caused by heredity. In rare cases,
hair loss has been reported as a result of some
medications. This includes oral contraceptives,
anti-inflammatories, beta, and blood thinning
medication. When you experience hair loss as a
side effect of any of these drugs, it is then
referred to as drug- induced hair loss. In most
cases, drug-induced hair loss isnt a major
issue. Once the patient completes the dose, the
hair starts to grow normally. In other cases,
medication must be prescribed in order for the
patient to be able to grow back their hair.

• How much hair you have lost
• What was the initial cause of losing hair
• Your medical history
• Before making the decision on what treatments
  suits you the most, they will also give you a
  physical and medical examination, which may
  include
• Blood tests to help discover any underlying
  medical condition that may be causing hair loss
• Pull test where the doctor pulls your hair to see
  how much comes out in order to determine the
  possible shredding stage
• Scalp biopsy where the doctors take a sample of
  skin from your scalp
• Light microscopy where the doctor uses a special
  instrument to examine your scalp and hair
• Hair Loss Treatments in Mumbai
• Treatments are intended to reverse or slow down
  hair loss. Two main hair loss treatments include
  medication and hair transplant surgery.
• The doctors would mostly prescribe medication if
  it is found that your hair loss is as a result of

an underlying disease. It may also be that your
hair loss is caused by a different
medication. For the latter, the doctor might
prescribe an alternative medication to slow down
or stop hair loss. Medication that contains
Minoxidil could be prescribed or non-prescribed
(over-the-counter). It comes in the form of a
liquid, foam, or shampoo, and is most effective
being applied on the scalp at least twice a day.
Whether you want to prevent further loss of hair
or stimulate regrowth, it takes at least six
months to start seeing results.
