Although losing a few hairs (about 100) every day is normal, losing large amounts of hair can be a painful problem. You can hide a few strands of gray hair or ignore a few lines, but losing a patch of your hair can be more difficult than any other beauty problem (for most people at least). Did you know that nearly one-third of women experience female pattern hair loss at some point in their lives? Alopecia is a common condition today, and there are several types of hair loss treatments out there. But that’s where the confusion begins!
To help those who were facing hair loss and could not find the right treatment for them, HealthShots reached out to Dr. Debraj Shome, Senior Surgeon and Director, Esthetic Clinics, New Delhi.

Laser hair treatment
Low-level laser therapy, commonly known as red light or cold laser therapy, exposes skin tissue to photons. The weakened cells absorb these photons to stimulate hair growth. Dr. Shome says this treatment is good for people with androgenic alopecia, which is common in both men and women. People with androgenic alopecia will lose hair on the top of their head or near their scalp. You should only go for this treatment plan if your doctor advises you, adds the expert.
Hair transplant
Hair transplants are performed to help hair grow back in bald or thinning areas of the scalp. It involves taking hair from other parts of your body and attaching it to bald spots on your head. Hair transplants help restore a youthful appearance to those suffering from hair loss, especially androgenic alopecia, the doctor said.
QR 678
A few years ago, QR 678 worked for hair regrowth and was approved by the Indian FDA. QR678 means a quick response to a disease that previously had no solution. This treatment deals with hair loss and increases the thickness and number, as well as the density of existing hairs, which gives a great relief to those with alopecia. In addition, the polypeptides used in the treatment are present in the scallops full of hair (which tends to decrease in the scalp with hair loss) it is the enrichment of the scalp with these polypeptides that cause hair growth.

First, “QR 678 has no side effects as it is administered at the skin sink area through mesotherapy and is not absorbed into the systemic circulation.

In addition to giving the drug, the procedure will require 6-8 times. Both male pattern baldness and female pattern hair loss respond well to this treatment.
It has shown promising results in the treatment of chemically induced hair loss after chemotherapy and other hair conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, and autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata, adds the expert.
