Hair is one of the most important part of one’s personality ,confidence and self esteem. There are various reasons for hairfall. Here at Dermallene, Dr. Chauhan treats all hair concerns for men and women.
First Dr. Minakshi Chauhan identifies the cause of hairloss by detailed medical history taking followed by Trichoscopy and Treatment. Trichoscopy is a very important tool for diagnosing certain scalp and hair conditions.
PRP –Platelet rich plasma is the most advanced and minimally invasive nonsurgical hair treatment.It is a proactive therapeutic solution for male and female pattern hair loss.It is completely safe, all-natural autologous medical procedure to be performed by a board certified medical professional only.Human blood contains mesenchymal stem cells, and autologous blood products that contain essential and specific growth factors that assist in tissue regeneration and healing. Published medical literature confirms the safety and use of PRP therapy. It has been used a medical adjunct therapy for over two decades for skin,hair and wound healing along with other medication.
Blood is drawn and then centrifuged in a closed sterile system to separate plasma which is rich in platelets and growth factors. An injectable anesthesia block is given to nerves of the scalp so the patient does not feel any pain. The highly concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then injected with an insulin syringe into the scalp which promotes hair growth. Dermallene clinic offers another completely painless option of infusing PRP into scalp for those who do not prefer anaesthesia but results are best with direct injection of PRP into the scalp. The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive hair follicles into an active growth phase.Patients usually require 4 to 6 sessions of PRP depending on severity of hair loss.The results are analysed and monitored in a fully digital trichoscope.
Trichoscopy also known as epiluminescence microscopy is a non-invasive, in-vivo dermoscopic imaging of scalp and hair using light microscope providing many fold magnification.This involves advanced digital scalp and hair analysis which shows hair diameter,hair density,follicle (hair root) status,detects scalp conditions and diseases,hair shaft anomaliesThe hair growth cycle consists of three distinct stages – anagen, catagen and telogen which can be determined by trichoscopy.trichoscopic findings in the common categories of cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, trichotillomania, lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus and hair shaft disorders show corresponding pathognomic features to help establish diagnosis . Besides diagnosing alopecia, it has the potential for obviating unnecessary biopsies and when a biopsy is still needed it is helpful in choosing an ideal biopsy site. Moreover, trichoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating the treatment response photographically at each follow-up.
