Who doesn’t want a healthy, thick head of hair? It’s basically what most people dream of. Unfortunately, a large percentage of men and some women suffer from hair loss and thinning hair for various reasons. Fortunately, we can help with that! Dr Muniandi Velayuthan and his team at Dermed Clinic in Danga Bay, Johor Bahru, Johor understand that treatment of hair fall can be one way to boost confidence and self-esteem when hair loss and thinning have occurred. Our team of professionals is able to diagnose the reason for hair thinning and loss while providing a wide range of treatment solutions to combat it.

Hair Loss Treatment PRP

What causes hair loss?

There are several common causes of hair thinning and loss, including:

  • Genetics
  • Ageing
  • Sudden significant weight loss
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Stress
  • Lupus
  • Lack of nutrients
  • Excessive hair styling, heating, and pulling

What hair fall treatment methods are offered?

At Dermed Clinic, Dr. Muniandi and his team are pleased to offer several methods of treatment for patients to choose from. These include the following:

  • Mesotherapy. Mesotherapy uses nutrient-rich substances, medicines, and plant extracts that are directly injected into the scalp for maximum absorption to revitalize the hair and stimulate growth.
  • Topical and oral medications. Topical and oral medications can be prescribed to address the diagnosed causes of hair loss to facilitate hair growth.
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for hair loss. Platelet-rich plasma addresses hair thinning and loss by using your own plasma injected into the scalp to facilitate hair regrowth. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained through a blood draw at our office.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can hair grow back after thinning?

Yes! In many cases, hair can grow back after thinning, especially when the hair follicles are still active and haven’t been permanently damaged. Hair loss can result from stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, certain medical conditions, or harsh hair practices. Depending on the cause, treatment with medications, lifestyle changes, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may help stimulate regrowth and improve hair density.

What vitamins can help with hair loss?

Healthy hair growth depends on proper nutrition. Vitamins and minerals that may support healthier hair include biotin, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. These nutrients help nourish hair follicles and support the hair growth cycle. However, taking supplements without knowing the root cause may not solve the issue. That’s why you need expert-guided care. Your dermatologist will help determine whether a deficiency contributes to your hair loss and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Does hair loss run in the family?

In some cases, yes. There are several causes of hair loss, and genetics is among them. Male pattern baldness is one of the genetically related causes of hair loss. If you experience hair loss and have a family history of the condition, genetics may be at play rather than stress or other temporary factors. In such cases, you may need to consult a dermatologist to explore your hair restoration options.

Can smoking affect hair loss?

Yes. Smoking has numerous adverse effects on your body, including hair loss. Tobacco use triggers oxidative stress, which increases the production of free radicals in the body. Cells in hair follicles are sensitive to free radicals, which makes hair thinning or loss more rampant.

Smoking also affects circulation, reducing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. Over time, this may weaken follicles, increase inflammation, and contribute to hair thinning or premature hair loss. Quitting smoking benefits not only your overall health but also the health of your hair and skin.

Are there shampoos that can help with hair loss?

Yes! Certain shampoos may help improve scalp health and support healthier-looking hair. Some contain ingredients designed to reduce breakage, boost circulation, or promote a healthier scalp environment. While shampoos alone won’t completely reverse hair loss, they can complement professional treatments. A dermatologist will help recommend products tailored to your unique needs.

Are there any foods that can help stop hair loss?

Yes! A balanced diet is important in maintaining healthy hair. Foods rich in protein, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamins can support stronger hair growth. Dermatologists recommend eggs, fish, leafy greens, nuts, beans, berries, and avocados for hair health. Staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich foods may help strengthen hair and support the scalp from within.

How does my dermatologist diagnose hair loss?

Diagnosing hair loss begins with a detailed evaluation of your scalp, hair pattern, medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms. To better understand your condition, your dermatologist may perform a scalp examination with a dermascope, a hair pull test, or bloodwork. A scalp biopsy may be recommended when the cause of hair loss is unclear or scarring alopecia is suspected.

Are there cases of hair loss that are untreatable?

Yes! Some forms of hair loss may be permanent, especially when hair follicles have been severely damaged or scarred. However, even when complete regrowth is not possible, treatment may still help slow further hair loss, improve scalp health, or enhance the appearance of existing hair.
