Hair fall shows differently in every individual, from increased shedding while washing or brushing to a widening part, reduced hair density, a thinner ponytail, or a gradually receding hairline. Every change has a different cause, hence treating hair fall effectively starts with understanding why the hair is becoming thinner.
Hair fall treatment in Delhi at Citrine Clinic begins with an assessment of the scalp, hair-loss pattern, and factors that may be contributing to the problem. Dr. Niti Gaur may consider medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, medications, stress, and hair-care practices before recommending a personalised treatment plan based on the individual's type and extent of hair loss.
Hair fall treatment refers to a range of medical and procedure-based approaches used to identify the cause of excessive shedding, reduce ongoing hair loss, and support healthier hair growth. It is not a single procedure, because the appropriate treatment depends on the type, pattern, and severity of hair loss.
Hair fall may be associated with factors such as genetic or pattern hair loss, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, illness, stress, scalp conditions, medications, or hair-care practices. A dermatologist first evaluates these factors and may recommend medication, scalp-based procedures, corrective care, or a combination of treatments depending on the underlying cause.
Early assessment can be important, particularly when hair thinning is progressive, because identifying the cause sooner can help determine the most appropriate treatment before the condition becomes more advanced.
Dr. Niti Gaur may recommend:
Online medicines and supplements are not suitable for everyone. Medical history, pregnancy plans, allergies, and current medicines must be reviewed first.
| Treatment | How It Helps |
| Medicines | May help reduce ongoing hair loss, slow follicle thinning, or support hair growth where appropriate for the underlying condition |
| GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) | Uses concentrated growth factors prepared from the patient’s blood and injected into targeted scalp areas to support weakened hair follicles |
| PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) | Uses platelet-derived growth factors from the patient’s own blood to support follicular activity in suitable cases of hair thinning |
| Mesotherapy | Delivers selected vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other substances into the scalp through multiple small injections, depending on the individual treatment plan |
| Hair Transplant | Moves hair follicles from a suitable donor area to areas affected by established hair loss when sufficient donor hair is available |
