Hair transplantation: one of the solutions for hair loss: Seminar on Treatment of Hair Loss and Hair Transplantation

We felt privileged and humbled by your presence in the press conference.

Hair: Some facts

There are around 1 lac hair roots on our head. These roots grow and fall in cycles. Every day, we lose 50-100 roots and these many roots come back.

There are certain myths about hair in our society.

Myths:

Daily shampoo increases hair fall

Oiling is good for hair

Use of water at new place increases hair fall

Truth:

We should shampoo daily or at least alternate day.
Hair oil does not increase the hair length, rather causes dandruff.
If the hair fall is more than 100 strands per day and the density is regularly coming down, then one should consult doctor.

If someone is suffering from hair fall, then he/she should count the fallen hair strands. Like, how many on pillow, during hair wash, during combing etc.

There are some effective medicines which can prevent hair fall. These medicines are different for male and female and should be prescribed by the doctor.

Hair Transplantation:

If any part of head is completely bald or more than 50% of hair is lost, then hair transplantation is a solution. Hair transplantation is a minor but very delicate surgery performed by highly experienced and qualified doctors. In this, permanent hair from other parts of body (usually head, sometimes beard, chest etc) is transplanted to the bald area. The transplanted hairs grow naturally. They remain for the rest of life, undergo normal regular cutting, and are absolutely maintenance free.

Usually hair transplantation is undertaken by males, and it is also successful in females. For the first time in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, National Skin Clinic has started modern and sophisticated hair transplantation. Dr Pradeep Sethi and Dr Arika Sethi, who are trained from the prestigious AIIMS, New Delhi is constantly doing research on hair transplantation techniques. They invented the DHT (Direct Hair Transplantation) method of hair transplantation. In this technique hair roots are planted in the body very fast, within minutes employing NO TOUCH technique. This DHT technique is highly advanced than the other techniques of hair transplantation like FUT and FUE. This DHT method is being presented at various national and international conferences. Because of its unparallel results Hair transplantation doctors all over world are gradually shifting to this technique.

Other uses of Hair transplantation:

Other than baldness, we are using hair transplantation in vitiligo on face, scar on face, post burn moustache,beard and eyebrow, eyelashes

National Skin Clinic is also doing the modern research on “Hair Cloning” for the first time in India with some rare stem cell scientists. We are also in the process of making a new instrument which will do the “Single step Hair Transplantation”.

We are attending all the national and international conferences on hair transplantation, and delivering talks in these gatherings and providing international standards in the field. We are also getting national and international reviews because of our location in Dehradun which is at the foothills of Himalayas.

The treatment of hair loss and hair transplantation requires a lot of experience, expertise and international exposure. Patients need the right information.

With all your help we conducted a seminar/camp on 4^th November, Sunday 10 AM-1 PM, at our clinic in Rajendra Nagar to provide this awareness to the general public.

We request you to cover this press conference in a big way, so that maximum people will get the benefit. We also invite you to the camp on Sunday and cover the same.
