Question 1

What are Dermal Fillers & its uses? Is the procedure painfull?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables used for Wrinkle Reduction, Volume Restoration, Lip Enhancement, Facial Contouring, Scar Revision etc. They are composed of a gel-like substance, typically made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. Dermal fillers are designed to be injected beneath the skin's surface to add volume and improve the appearance of specific areas.

Dermal fillers are typically injected using a fine needle, and the procedure is usually well-tolerated.

Question 2

What are the causes of Hairfall? What treatment options are available for hairfall at your clinic?

Accepted Answer

The causes of hair fall can vary, but common factors include genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, certain medications, scalp infections, excessive styling or heat treatments, and underlying medical conditions.

The treatment options for hair fall depend on the underlying cause and can vary from person to person. We work on combination of treatments including:

1. Lifestyle and Dietary Changes: Making healthy lifestyle choices such as eating a balanced diet, managing stress levels, getting regular exercise, and practicing good hair care habits can contribute to overall hair health and reduce hair fall.
2. Medications: Certain medications, such as minoxidil and finasteride, are commonly used to treat hair loss. These medications can help slow down hair loss, promote hair regrowth, or prevent further hair thinning. However, they require a prescription and should be used under medical supervision.
3. Topical Treatments: Topical treatments like medicated shampoos, serums, or foams containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, salicylic acid, or topical corticosteroids may be recommended to manage specific scalp conditions that contribute to hair fall, such as dandruff or scalp inflammation.
4. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it back into the scalp. PRP contains growth factors that can stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness.
5. Hair Transplantation: In cases of significant hair loss or baldness, hair transplantation can be an effective option. This surgical procedure involves transferring hair follicles from the donor area to the recipient area, typically on the scalp, to restore hair growth in the affected areas.
6. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT uses red light therapy to stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve the overall condition of the scalp. It can be performed with specialized devices or through in-office treatments.

It's important to consult with your dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of hair fall and to receive personalized advice on the most suitable treatment options for your specific situation.

Question 3

How long does it typically take to see noticeable results from hair fall treatment?

Accepted Answer

The duration to see good results from hair fall treatment can vary depending on various factors, including the underlying cause of hair fall, the treatment method used, individual response to treatment, and consistency in following the prescribed treatment plan.

It usually takes 2-3 months to notice significant improvement in hair fall and regrowth. Medications like minoxidil may require several months of regular use before visible results are observed. Other treatments such as PRP therapy or hair transplantation may also require some time for the hair to regrow and show noticeable changes.

It's important to have realistic expectations and be patient with the treatment process. Consistency in following the treatment plan and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to better and faster results. Your dermatologist will be able to provide more specific information about the expected timeline for seeing improvement based on the chosen treatment method and your individual circumstances.
