The most prevalent type of genetic hair loss, affecting both men and women, androgenetic alopecia can be comprehensively and scientifically treated at The Skinstitute in Bhubaneswar.

Each treatment is customized to meet the needs of Indian lifestyles, skin sensitivity, and hair types.

Treatment Overview
We employ clinically validated techniques supported by studies and authorized by authorities:
- FDA-approved topical minoxidil (5%) slows follicle miniaturization and encourages hair growth.
- For men, oral finasteride lowers DHT levels to stop additional hair loss; after six months, there is usually a 30% improvement.
- Growth factors from the patient are injected into the scalp during platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in order to stimulate follicles.
- FDA-approved helmets or combs that use red light (630–660 nm) to boost hair density are known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
For better outcomes, we might also suggest nutritional optimization, ketoconazole shampoo, or combination treatments (like minoxidil + LLLT).

Male or female pattern baldness, also referred to as androgenetic alopecia, is a hereditary disorder marked by progressive hair loss and thinning that usually occurs on the scalp in a certain pattern. Although there isn't a cure for androgenetic alopecia, there are a number of treatments that can be used to improve the appearance of the hair overall, encourage hair growth, and slow down hair loss.
Benefits
- Medications: The two drugs used most frequently to treat androgenetic alopecia are finasteride and minoxidil. Minoxidil is administered directly to the scalp as a topical solution or foam. It functions by boosting blood flow to the hair follicles, which encourages the development and thickness of new hair. An oral drug called finasteride blocks the enzyme that turns testosterone into the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is linked to hair loss. It slows down hair thinning in males with androgenetic alopecia and helps lower DHT levels.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Low-energy laser light is used in LLLT, sometimes referred to as laser hair therapy, to stimulate hair follicles, enhance circulation, and encourage hair regrowth. LLLT devices are commonly used at home several times a week and come in a variety of shapes, such as laser combs, helmets, and hats.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting a concentrated solution of the patient’s own platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle activity and promote hair regrowth. PRP contains growth factors and cytokines that help nourish the hair follicles and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle.
- Hair Transplantation: Hair transplantation is a surgical technique in which balding or thinning parts of the scalp receive hair follicles transplanted from a donor site (often the back or sides of the scalp). The best candidates for this treatment are those with advanced hair loss and enough donor hair available for transplantation.
- Hair Care Practices: Adopting good hair care habits can assist control androgenetic alopecia in addition to medical treatments and surgeries. This entails treating hair gently, staying away from harsh chemical treatments and pulling on the hair, eating a balanced diet full of vital nutrients for healthy hair, and controlling stress.
Although there are therapies for androgenetic alopecia that can help slow down hair loss and encourage hair growth, each patient’s response is unique, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. A dermatologist or hair loss specialist should be consulted by anyone experiencing hair loss in order to establish the best course of action based on their unique needs and objectives. For those with androgenetic alopecia, early intervention and continuous treatment can assist optimize the efficacy of hair loss control techniques and enhance overall results.
