Baldness Treatment
When hair stops growing in certain areas and doesn't come back, that's baldness. It can happen gradually — a receding hairline, a thinning crown, or patches that keep expanding. Think of hair follicles like tiny factories — some of them slow down and eventually stop producing hair. We evaluate what's causing it and offer treatments ranging from medications and PRP therapy to hair transplant for permanent restoration.
Understanding Male and Female Pattern Baldness
Pattern baldness — medically known as androgenetic alopecia — is the most common cause of hair loss worldwide, affecting both men and women. In men, it typically begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, gradually progressing to complete baldness in those areas. In women, the pattern is usually more diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp with the hairline largely preserved. The underlying cause is a genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — a hormone that gradually shrinks the follicles until they stop producing hair entirely. Think of it like a slowly dimming light — the follicle doesn't die immediately; it fades over years.
Our Approach to Diagnosing and Treating Baldness
At Medistar, we begin every baldness case with a trichoscopy assessment — a magnified examination of the scalp that reveals the health of individual follicles, the density of miniaturised hairs, and the stage of progression. Blood tests identify any contributing factors like thyroid dysfunction, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. Based on this, Dr. Anshalika designs a personalised treatment ladder: medications (finasteride, minoxidil) to stabilise ongoing loss, PRP therapy to strengthen existing follicles, and Bio-FUE hair transplant for areas where hair no longer grows naturally. No one treatment fits all — the right combination depends on your unique pattern and health profile.
Can Hair Be Restored in Completely Bald Areas?
In completely smooth bald patches where follicles have been dormant for many years, the only effective restoration is a hair transplant. Hair transplant works by relocating follicles from the donor zone (the back and sides of the scalp, which are DHT-resistant) to the recipient bald area. Since transplanted hairs come from genetically resistant follicles, they continue to grow permanently in their new location. The key requirement is an adequate donor area. Dr. Anshalika will assess your donor density during consultation and give you an honest estimate of what coverage is achievable. Realistic expectations are central to a satisfying outcome.
