Treatments for Hair Loss and Hair & Scalp Disorders


People with hair loss or hair and scalp disorders have a range of treatment options to consider, including:


Medical treatments:

There are several medications that can be used to treat hair loss or scalp disorders, including:

a. Minoxidil: A topical medication that can stimulate hair growth in some people.

b. Dutasteride: An oral medication that can help slow or prevent hair loss in both men and women.

c. Spironolactone: A medication that can be used to treat certain types of hair loss in women.


Lifestyle changes:

Making changes to your lifestyle, such as reducing stress, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep, can help improve the health of your hair and scalp.


Topical treatments:

There are a variety of topical treatments that can be used to improve the health of the hair and scalp, including shampoos, conditioners, and hair oils. These products may contain ingredients like biotin, niacin, and vitamins B and E, which can help promote hair growth and improve the health of the scalp.


Hair restoration surgery:

For people with more severe hair loss, hair restoration surgery may be an option. This can include hair transplant surgery, scalp reduction surgery, or scalp expansion surgery.


Scalp micro-pigmentation:

Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic treatment that involves tattooing tiny dots of pigment on the scalp to create the appearance of a fuller head of hair.


Hairpieces or wigs:

For people who want a quick and easy solution to hair loss, wearing a wig or hairpiece may be an option.


Psychological support:

Hair loss or hair and scalp disorders can have a significant impact on a person's emotional well-being, and we can offer psychological support which may be beneficial for some people.


It's important to keep in mind that not all treatments will work for everyone, and it may take time to find the right treatment plan that works for each individual. We will help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
