Hair Analysis

Hair loss is the most common hair problem and a prompt diagnosis of the type is very useful in appropriate treatment.

Hair analysis is a test in which a sample of a person’s hair is taken and analysed under the microscope. Hair undergoes cyclical phases of growth, transition and resting. At anytime, 10-18% of the hairs on the human head are in the resting phase and 80-90% of the hairs are actively growing.

Dermascopy of the hair and scalp, done to visualize them at greater magnification is called trichoscopy. It is a novel diagnostic technique, simple and non invasive for diagnosing common hair and scalp disorders. The number of hairs, hair shaft diameter, abnormalities of scalp, skin colour help to determine the modality and duration of treatment.

Hair Regrowth Treatments

There are various modalities of treatment for hair regrowth which are administered as stand alone or combination treatments.

• Iontophoresis

• Low level laser treatment for hair

• Stem cell / Growth Factor therapy

• Hair Injections

• Dermaroller

• PRP

• Combination treatments

• Dermaroller with PRP

• Demaroller with Minoxidil

• Dermaroller with Growth factor/stem cell

Mesotherapy

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical medical technique which was first introduced in France over 50 years ago. It is a virtually painless injection of vitamins, minerals, medications and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin to deliver corrective treatment to a specific area. With the skin as the direct vehicle by which the body receives its treatment, quick results are achieved

The common applications of mesotherapy:

• spot weight reduction

• hair loss

• scar revision

• cellulite reduction

• wrinkle elimination

What are the typical results of Mesotherapy?

For Skin Rejuvenation (Mesolift): Mesolift infuses the skin with potent vitamins, proteins and anti-oxidants to rejuvenate and revitalize it. These facilitate the skin’s ability to build collagen and elastin as well as hold onto moisture. The skin becomes noticeably firm, youthful, radiant, and more hydrated. You will need about 4-5 sessions, spaced one to two weeks apart.

For Hair Restoration (MesoHair): Mesotherapy works well in restoring hair. Medications which are traditionally applied topically and/or taken orally are injected into the scalp. Through this, the medication at full strength, without getting broken down by the liver or kidneys reaches the target hair follicle. The result is a significant decrease in hair loss and an increase in hair growth.

PRP

PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, meaning it comes from the patient’s own body, PRP contains several different growth factors and others cytokines that promote tissue repair, capillary formation and collagen production. PRP can be used in isolation or as an adjunct to other procedures. This is an effective way to enhance hair growth especially for more stubborn areas of hair loss i.e. receding hair line and crown.

Method:

The process involves the collection of whole blood which is centrifuged to separate the PRP from RBC’s. The PRP is then used either by multiple micro injections given on the scalp or by application post dermaroller.

Benefits:

Hair loss disorders – PRP has shown to stimulate dormant hair follicles and hence promote new hair growth.

Facial rejuvenation- PRP can treat wrinkles, photo damage and skin discoloration in conjunction with other treatment modalities.

Post-traumatic scars- PRP combined with fractional laser resurfacing improve cosmetic appearance of scars.

Scars and stretch marks- Micro needling technique is used which allows greater penetration of the PRP to minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Dermaroller

Dermaroller treatment is done for treating Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Pigmentation and Hair loss. This process induces collagen production which is responsible for more strength and elasticity and fills up the depth of pits and thereby reduces the acne scars. The DERMAROLLER has special medical graded stainless steel needles that perforate the scar tissue easily. The scars become softer, leveled out and in most cases give a natural appearance.

Microneedling with dermarollers on the scalp triggers the body’s wound healing response and helps in the development of new hair follicles. it also stimulates blood circulation and increases nutrient supply to the follicles.

How long will the entire treatment take?

The dermaroller treatment can take 20 minutes to an hour depending on the areas to be treated.

Benefits of dermaroller treatment:

• Short treatment time

• Short healing period

• Cost effective

• Added advantage of Facial Rejuvenation

• All skin types can be treated

Other Applications of Dermaroller :

• Acne scars

• Scars—Chicken pox, Accidents, Burns

• Pigmentation

• Stretch marks

• Cellulite

• Hair loss

Iontophoresis

It is an electro chemical process, in which a small direct current is used on the skin or scalp to deliver medication at a constant rate to a depth of 6-20mm. The treatment works on the principle that charged ions in the skin are either attracted or repelled from the electrodes resulting in certain chemical effects. It is a painless, sterile, non-invasive technique.

Used for :

• Hair fall

• Facial rejuvenation

• Hyperhidrosis (increased sweating),

• Nail Psoriasis

With increasing use of nail paints, nail art, acetone, repeated manicures, cosmetic nail procedures and detergents the nail plate undergoes repeated damage resulting in rough lusterless and pigmented nails. Besides that fungal infection of nails, lichen planus infecting nails, nail pitting and ridging due to various diseases also cause cosmetically disfiguring nails. Severe nail psoriasis can impact the quality of your life.

Topical nail delivery is challenged by the structure of the nail and low permeability of drugs across the nail plate. Iontophoresis efficiently enhances drug permeation and transport across the nail plate. It is a painless, easily administered, cost effective out patient treatment.

Thermolysis

Thermolysis was first described as a hair removal practice in 1920’s. Thermolysis works on radiofrequency and heats the hair matrix causing electrocoagulation. Thermolysis is a quick procedure where, in a fraction of a second, the hair follicle will be ready to be removed. It is helpful to remove grey hair.
