Hair Loss Issues: Hair Loss Has Many Treatments Today – Life News

There are many new cosmetic procedures for hair loss and baldness. But what are the pros and cons? Dr DM Mahajan, Senior Consultant, Dermatologist, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, says, “New cosmetic procedures for hair loss and baldness include platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell therapies and advanced hair transplant techniques such as follicular extraction (FUE). . PRP involves injecting a concentrated solution of the patient’s own platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Stem cell therapy uses regenerative cells to promote follicle function. FUE is a minimally invasive transplant method that harvests individual follicles for more natural results.” He says the benefits include potentially effective regeneration, natural-looking results and minimal scarring. Disadvantages may include high cost, multiple sessions required, and varying degrees of effectiveness between patients. These procedures generally treat androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness) and some forms of scarring alopecia.

How safe are they?
The safety profile of these procedures is generally favorable when performed by qualified professionals. PRP and stem cell treatments use the patient’s own biological materials, reducing the risks of rejection or allergic reactions. FUE, being minimally invasive, carries lower risks of complications compared to traditional film harvesting methods. However, all procedures involve certain risks, such as infection, scarring and unsatisfactory aesthetic results. Rare complications may include nerve damage or adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Long-term safety data for newer treatments such as stem cell therapy are still being collected. Patients should be thoroughly screened before the procedure and follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks.

Do oils and any hair masks help hair growth?
Hair oils and masks may provide some hair health benefits, but their effectiveness in promoting significant hair growth is limited and not well supported by clinical evidence. Some natural oils (coconut, castor) can improve hair’s moisture content and reduce protein loss, potentially reducing breakage. Some masks containing ingredients such as biotin, keratin or peptides may temporarily improve the appearance and strength of the hair. However, these topical treatments generally do not address the underlying causes of hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. While they may contribute to overall scalp and hair health, their direct effect on stimulating new hair growth is minimal. These products are best used as part of a comprehensive hair care routine rather than as primary treatments for hair loss.

Is there an anvil medical treatment for hair growth?
Current medical research on hair growth focuses on several promising pathways. Molecular pathways involved in hair follicle cycle and regeneration are being studied, with potential for new drug targets. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices show promise for stimulating follicular activity. Ongoing clinical trials are investigating JAK inhibitors for the treatment of alopecia areata, with potential applications for other forms of hair loss. Gene therapy approaches aim to correct the underlying genetic causes of hair loss.

Exosome therapy, using cell-derived vesicles to deliver growth factors, is under investigation. While these treatments show potential, they are still in various stages of research and development. Regulatory approval and widespread clinical availability may be several years away. Patients should consult dermatologists or trichologists to learn about emerging treatments and their potential application in individual cases.
