It’s all about hair – your crowning glory! Since ages, maintaining and growing a healthy mane was part of the beauty regimen. Unfortunately, hair loss and baldness affects more than 50 per cent of men and 25 per cent of women.

DHT (dihydrotesterone) mediated or male pattern baldness (androgen tic alopecia) is most commonly seen in men and is also increasing in women, while alopecia aureate or patchy baldness is immunologically mediated and can proceed to alopecia totals or total balding.

Androgenetic alopecia is a result of miniaturization of hair follicles in susceptible individuals. Hair growth cycle is characterized by three stages: growth, regression and resting phase. Growth of new hair requires the reen try of the resting hair into the growth phase, a process involving activation of multipotent stem cells in the hair bulge. Activating signals originate from the dermal papilla directing the stem cells to regenerate.

... cells that have lost the ability to respond to signals. Mesotherapy is a process, where signaling molecules are introduced into the scalp taken up bt the dormant hair follicles, explains Dr. Sitalakshmi, an expert in various hair treatments including Stem Cell Therapy.

Specific hair growth factors are derived from human fibroblast cultures, the richest source of stem cells. Depending on the extent and duration of hair loss, weekly orfortnightly injections are required for a period of three to four months. Hair growth can be noticed four to six weeks after commencement of the treatment which is permanent and may require a few maintenance sessions.

This outpatient procedure is fast and reliable minus the side effects of prolonged medication like finasteride and minoxidill. Hair is strengthened and seborrhic dermatitis (dandruff) is cured it can also be combined with advanced procedures like PRP (platelet enriched plasma) injection or traditional hair transplantation.
