Understanding Hair-fall & it’s Treatments

Published on April 4, 2026 at 5:39 PM

Hair fall is one of the most common concerns seen in aesthetic practice today. While a certain amount of hair shedding is normal, excessive hair fall can be distressing and often indicates an underlying issue that needs proper evaluation.

Common Reasons for Hair Fall

Hair fall is rarely due to a single cause. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Nutritional deficiencies such as Iron, Vitamin D, and B12
• Hormonal imbalances including PCOS and thyroid disorders
• Stress and lifestyle factors
• Dandruff and scalp infections
• Genetics or androgenetic alopecia
• Post illness or post COVID hair fall

Step 1

Detailed Consultation is Key

Every effective treatment starts with a thorough consultation. This includes:

• Medical and hair history
• Scalp analysis
• Lifestyle evaluation
• Identifying triggers and duration of hair fall

No two patients are the same, so customization is very important.

Step 2

Start with Blood Work

Before starting treatments, it is essential to check:

• Iron levels
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• Thyroid profile

Deficiencies can maintain or worsen hair fall, so correcting them is the foundation of any treatment plan.

Step 3

Treat the Root Cause First

For example:

• If the client has dandruff, it must be treated first
• If there is a hormonal issue, it should be addressed
• If nutrition is poor, supplementation is required

Treating hair without addressing the root cause gives temporary results only.

Step 4

Choosing the Right Treatment

There is no one best treatment for everyone.

The best treatment is the one tailored to the client’s condition. This may include:

• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
• Mesotherapy
• Microneedling using Dermapen
• Medical treatments and topical solutions

Step 5

Combination Treatments Work Best

In most cases, combination treatments give the best and fastest results.

For example:

• PRP with Microneedling
• PRP with medical therapy
• Supplements with scalp treatments

This approach targets hair fall from multiple angles.

Step 6

PRP Treatment Protocol

PRP is one of the most effective treatments for hair fall and thinning.

• Done once a month
• 3 to 5 sessions initially
• Followed by maintenance sessions

It helps in strengthening hair follicles, reducing hair fall, and promoting regrowth.

Maintenance is Important

Hair care does not stop after treatment.

• Regular follow ups
• Maintenance sessions
• Continued supplementation if needed
• Proper scalp care

This ensures long term results.

Hair fall treatment is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding the cause, treating it correctly, and maintaining the results.
