What treatment aims to do
Slow or halt the thinning process so you keep the hair you have.
Strengthen weakened follicles so thinning hair grows thicker and fuller.
At your first consultation, our doctors assess how well you are likely to respond. Where medicines alone are unlikely to help enough, we will discuss whether a hair transplant suits you.
Diagnosis first
Different causes need different treatments, and some types of hair loss do not respond to pattern-baldness medicines at all. These are the causes we most often diagnose and treat.
Your assessment
An accurate diagnosis tells us not only what is causing your hair loss, but also how well you are likely to respond to each treatment. Depending on your condition, your evaluation may include the steps shown here.
Standardised photographs taken at your first visit let us measure your progress objectively at every follow-up.
For men
Treatment is chosen after your evaluation and reviewed at each follow-up.
A daily 1 mg tablet that treats the hormonal cause of male pattern baldness by lowering DHT, the hormone that shrinks sensitive follicles. In most men it slows or stops further loss, and many see some regrowth, especially on the crown.
A small number of men may notice reduced libido or sexual side effects, and mood changes have been reported. Your doctor will discuss these before you start. Women who are or may become pregnant should not handle broken tablets.
A solution or foam, commonly 5% for men, applied to the scalp usually twice daily. It prolongs the growth phase of hair and enlarges thinning follicles. It works best for early to moderate thinning and must be used consistently.
An option for men who find topical application difficult or irritating. It is not FDA-approved for hair loss and is prescribed only after evaluation, because it can affect blood pressure and heart rate and may cause unwanted body hair.
A stronger DHT-blocking medicine, taken orally or given as scalp injections, that may be considered for men who do not respond well enough to finasteride.
Medicated shampoos such as ketoconazole, treatment of dandruff, and correction of any deficiency found on your blood tests.
For women
Women usually notice diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp or a widening parting, and hormonal, nutritional and thyroid factors are more often involved. Treatment is planned accordingly.
The only FDA-approved medicine for female pattern hair loss, and the foundation of treatment. Available as 2% solution, usually applied twice daily, or 5% foam, usually once daily. It helps slow thinning and regrow hair.
Not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
For women whose hair loss is linked to hormonal factors, such as PCOS, acne or excess facial hair. These medicines can help halt thinning.
Requires monitoring, including potassium levels where appropriate. Must not be taken during pregnancy, so reliable contraception is advised.
May be prescribed for selected women under medical supervision, particularly when topical treatment is not tolerated.
Low iron stores, thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies and hormonal imbalance are common contributors. We treat these, coordinating with your gynaecologist, endocrinologist or physician where needed.
For men and women
These in-clinic treatments work best alongside your medical plan rather than in place of it.
Medical or surgical?
Medicines work best on hair that is thinning but still present. They cannot bring back follicles that have been lost completely. A hair transplant moves healthy, DHT-resistant follicles from the back and sides of the scalp to bald or thin areas.
For many patients the best result comes from combining both: medical treatment to protect existing hair, and a transplant to restore areas medicines cannot reach. We will give you an honest recommendation based on your examination.
Surgery is not the final step. Transplanted hair is generally resistant to balding, but the natural process continues in your non-transplanted native hair. Without treatment, that surrounding hair may keep thinning, which can leave the transplanted area looking isolated.
To keep your natural hair, protect your investment and get the best long-term result, we strongly advise continuing medical treatment after your transplant, as your doctor recommends.
Your timeline
Hair grows slowly, so patience and consistency matter more than anything else. Every patient responds differently.
Our doctors
Our centre was founded by Dr. Pathuri Madhu, MD, India's first diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS). He is supported by Dr. P. Ram Sushruth, who is also certified by the ABHRS.
Because we perform both medical and surgical hair restoration, we can recommend whichever approach, or combination, genuinely suits you.
Experienced. Expert. Ethical.
That's the standard we bring to every patient.
Questions
For pattern hair loss, continued treatment is generally needed to keep the results, though your doctor may simplify your regimen over time. Causes such as telogen effluvium or a nutritional deficiency often need only short-term treatment once corrected.
The medicines we use are well studied and widely prescribed. Like all medicines, they can cause side effects in some people, which is why we prescribe them only after a consultation and monitor you at follow-up. Tell your doctor about other conditions, medicines, pregnancy or plans for pregnancy.
Self-treatment often misses the actual cause. A proper diagnosis makes sure you use the right treatment and don’t overlook a treatable condition such as thyroid disease or iron deficiency. Supplements, including biotin, help mainly when there is a genuine deficiency, and high-dose biotin can interfere with some blood test results, so we recommend them only when your tests show a need.
PRP is not a stand-alone treatment. Growth factors from your platelets may help stimulate weakened follicles, and it works best combined with your medical treatment. At our Jubilee Hills centre, PRP costs ₹4,000 per session, including GST.
Next step
Hair loss is easiest to treat when it is diagnosed early. Book an evaluation if you notice sudden or heavy shedding, patchy bald spots, a widening parting, a receding hairline, or scalp itching, pain, redness or scaling.
