Alopecia (Hair Loss) Treatment
Hair loss isn't just about hair. It's about health. At Allodermis, we diagnose the root mechanism behind your hair loss and build a treatment plan that heals from the inside out.
What Is Alopecia (Hair Loss)?
Alopecia refers to partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or body due to internal or external triggers. Losing 50-100 strands a day is normal; losing more (120-150+), rapid thinning, widening parting, or patchy hair loss requires medical evaluation.
The most common form is androgenetic alopecia, also called patterned baldness, caused by genetics and hormone sensitivity.
of men aged 30-50 experience some form of alopecia
of women aged 20-29 already show early hair loss
Types of Hair Loss
Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)
Affects both men and women. Driven by DHT hormone sensitivity. Gradual thinning leading to pattern baldness.
Telogen Effluvium (TE)
Sudden diffuse shedding occurring 2-3 months after a trigger: illness, stress, crash diets, childbirth. Usually reversible.
Trichotillomania
Compulsive hair pulling with a psychiatric/behavioural component.
Involutional Alopecia
Age-related shortening of hair growth cycle. Hair becomes finer and fewer.
Scarring Alopecia (Cicatricial)
Autoimmune/inflammatory destruction of follicles. Requires urgent treatment; irreversible if delayed.
Root Cause Understanding — Allodermis Method
We evaluate internal, external, structural, and genetic drivers behind your hair loss.
Internal Drivers
Hormones: thyroid, DHT sensitivity, PCOS, perimenopause
Nutritional deficiencies (iron, Vitamin D, B12, zinc)
Stress axis dysregulation (cortisol-mediated TE)
Autoimmune activity
External Drivers
Chemical treatments, heat, tight hairstyles
Pollution, scalp infections
Medications (especially chemotherapy drugs)
Structural & Genetic Drivers
Follicle miniaturisation
Family history
Age-related cycle shortening
Hair loss is never caused by one factor — effective treatment requires a multi-dimensional approach.
Signs You May Be Experiencing Alopecia
Excessive daily shedding (more than 120-150 strands)
Widening hair parting
Thinning around crown or temples
Bald circular patches
Reduced hair density and volume
Receding hairline (M-shaped pattern)
Scalp itching, burning, or flaking
Slow hair growth
Alopecia rarely stabilises on its own — early diagnosis increases the chance of reversal.
Diagnosis at Allodermis — Root Cause Trichology
Dermatologist Consultation
Comprehensive history: medical, nutritional, menstrual, stress, genetics, lifestyle, past procedures.
Trichoscopy
High-magnification analysis: follicle miniaturisation, scalp inflammation, density pattern, type and severity.
Medical Tests (If Indicated)
Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, thyroid profile, hormonal panel (PCOS, menopause), autoimmune markers.
Treatment Mapping
AIIMS MD dermatologist creates a personalised plan addressing all causative pathways.
Are You at Risk?
Men with family history of baldness
Women with PCOS / perimenopause / postpartum shedding
Nutritional deficiencies (common in India)
Chronic stress, poor sleep
Tight hairstyles (traction alopecia)
History of chemical treatments
Prevention & Lifestyle Management
Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Heat
Heat breaks keratin bonds; chemicals weaken follicles.
Healthy Scalp Routine
Mild shampoo 2-3 times a week; avoid overwashing.
Nutrition First
Hair is 85-90% protein (keratin). Eat foods rich in iron, Vitamin D, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, biotin, and zinc.
Reduce Stress
Chronic stress triggers telogen effluvium. Meditation, yoga, and breathwork reduce cortisol.
Gentle Hairstyles
Avoid tight ponytails, braids, and extensions.
Hair Loss Treatments at Allodermis
PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Concentrated growth factors improve follicle signalling. Stimulates dormant follicles.
Growth Factor Concentrates (GFC)
Advanced Purified Growth Factors
Higher potency than PRP. Excellent for severe thinning.
Alopecia Areata Injections
Intralesional Corticosteroids
Reduces autoimmune follicle attack. Targeted treatment for patchy hair loss.
Topical Medications
Minoxidil, Peptides, Solutions
Minoxidil prolongs the anagen (growth) phase. Peptide serums and anti-inflammatory scalp solutions support regrowth.
Oral Medications
DHT Blockers & Supplements
Finasteride/dutasteride for men (DHT blocking). Anti-androgens for women (spironolactone). Vitamin supplementation based on tests.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Photobiomodulation
Improves follicular blood flow, reduces inflammation, and enhances hair density.
Hair Transplant Referral
When Indicated
For advanced male pattern baldness with depleted follicles, we guide you towards ethical, scientific transplant options.
Prognosis & Expected Outcomes
Early intervention leads to excellent outcomes
Telogen effluvium is often reversible
Androgenetic alopecia is manageable (not curable); requires maintenance
Scarring alopecia needs urgent treatment to prevent permanent loss
Hair regrowth is a slow biological process — visible improvement takes 8-16 weeks.
