Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle
Losing 50 to 100 hair strands daily is a normal physiological phenomenon as hair cycles through Anagen (growth), Catagen (transition), and Telogen (resting/shedding) phases. However, diffuse widening of the hair partition or receding temples signals clinical hair loss requiring timely intervention.
Top Causes of Hair Fall in Men and Women
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): Genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), causing progressive follicular miniaturization.
- Telogen Effluvium: Sudden, massive shedding triggered 2 to 3 months after severe illness (Dengue, Typhoid, COVID-19), surgical trauma, extreme crash dieting, or childbirth.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Low serum Ferritin (iron reserves), Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, and Zinc levels.
- Thyroid & PCOS Disorders: Hormonal imbalances that disrupt anagen follicle cycling.
Evidence-Based Medical Treatments
- Topical Minoxidil (2% for women, 5% for men): Vasodilator that lengthens the anagen growth phase and increases follicular diameter.
- Oral Finasteride / Dutasteride (Men Only): Inhibits 5-alpha reductase enzyme, halting DHT-mediated hair miniaturization.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Autologous blood is centrifuged to concentrate platelets rich in PDGF, VEGF, and EGF growth factors, which are micro-injected into thinning scalp areas to awaken dormant follicles.
- GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate): Advanced next-generation cell-free treatment offering standardized growth factor delivery with minimal discomfort.
Common Hair Care Myths Debunked
Myth: Frequent shampooing causes hair loss.
Fact: Shampooing only dislodges hairs that have already entered the shedding phase. A clean scalp prevents seborrheic dermatitis and fungal inflammation that exacerbate hair fall.
