Understanding the Role of a Hair Doctor
A hair doctor is a specialist trained in diagnosing and treating hair and scalp conditions. With in-depth knowledge of hair biology and advanced diagnostic tools, they provide personalised treatment plans to address various concerns, from hair loss to scalp disorders.
1. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness):
Characterised by gradual thinning and potential baldness, androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss. Hair doctors can recommend topical treatments, oral medications, or hair transplant surgery to manage and restore hair.
2. Alopecia Areata:
An autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss on the scalp or body. Specialists can offer treatments like corticosteroid injections or topical immunotherapy to stimulate regrowth and control the condition.
3. Telogen Effluvium:
Triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, this temporary hair loss can be reversed. Hair doctors identify the cause and prescribe treatments to regrow and strengthen hair.
4. Scalp Infections and Disorders:
Issues such as seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, or fungal infections can damage the scalp and cause hair loss. Hair doctors provide medications and tailored scalp care routines to treat the condition and improve overall hair health.
Seeking professional advice ensures your hair and scalp get the targeted care they need, helping you regain healthy, strong hair and confidence.
Diagnostic Techniques Used by Our Medical Teams
Hair doctors use advanced hair analysis techniques to assess your hair and scalp health and create tailored treatment plans:
1. Trichoscopy:
A non-invasive procedure that uses a dermatoscope to magnify and analyse your scalp. It helps identify patterns of hair loss, inflammation, and other abnormalities, offering detailed insights.
2. Scalp Biopsy:
In certain cases, a small sample of scalp tissue is taken for microscopic analysis. This is especially useful for diagnosing conditions like scarring alopecia or autoimmune disorders.
3. Blood Tests:
Blood tests identify underlying issues such as thyroid imbalances or nutritional deficiencies, which may contribute to hair loss.
