Hair loss & trichology
Hair loss treatment in Mumbai, starting with a diagnosis
Trichology care by Dr. Omkar Warang, DNB: finding out why hair is thinning or shedding, then treating it medically, non-surgically or surgically.
Common causes of hair loss
Pattern hair loss
Androgenetic alopecia: gradual thinning influenced by genetics and hormones, in both men and women.
Telogen effluvium
Increased shedding, often a few months after illness, stress, childbirth or rapid weight loss.
Alopecia areata
Patchy hair loss related to the immune system.
Scarring alopecias
Conditions that can permanently damage hair follicles, where early diagnosis matters.
Nutritional & hormonal factors
For example thyroid function or iron levels, which may need blood tests.
Scalp conditions
Such as dandruff, psoriasis and other conditions affecting the scalp.
How hair loss is assessed
Different types of hair loss can look similar but need different treatment, so the first visit focuses on finding the cause.
- Your history: when it started, pattern, family history, health and medicines
- Examination of the scalp and hair, including trichoscopy (dermoscopy of the scalp)
- Blood tests where needed
- Further tests in selected cases
Treatment options
The foundation
Medical management
The foundation for most types of hair loss: treating the cause and using medicines to slow loss or support regrowth where appropriate. Other treatments are usually added to this, not used instead of it.
PRP
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and injected into the scalp, as a supportive treatment for certain types of hair loss.
GFC
Growth factor concentrate is also derived from your own blood, processed to concentrate growth factors, and used as a supportive scalp treatment.
Dutasteride mesotherapy
Dutasteride is a medicine that reduces DHT, a hormone involved in pattern hair loss. In mesotherapy, very small amounts are injected into the scalp. It may be considered for selected patients after a medical review, including a discussion of possible side effects.
Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny vesicles involved in communication between cells, and are being studied as a regenerative treatment for the scalp. Evidence is still emerging, so Dr. Warang will discuss whether it is appropriate for you and what to realistically expect.
When a hair transplant is considered
For stable pattern hair loss with a good donor area, a hair transplant can restore coverage where medical treatment alone isn’t enough. Because Dr. Warang performs both, the choice is based on what suits your hair loss.
How much hair shedding is normal?
Losing around 50–100 hairs a day is commonly considered normal. Noticeably more shedding, widening partings or patches are worth having assessed.
Can hair loss be reversed?
It depends on the cause. Some types improve with treatment; for others the aim is to slow progression. In scarring alopecias, lost follicles cannot recover, which is why early diagnosis matters.
How long before treatment shows an effect?
Hair grows slowly, so changes are usually assessed over several months rather than weeks.
Do PRP or GFC replace medication?
Usually not. They are generally used alongside medical treatment, as part of a plan made for you.
