Answered on 22nd Jan '24
I would recommend that you seek the opinion of an experienced hair transplant specialist to help decide on what treatment plan will work best for your situation. There are many factors to consider for finalizing any particular treatment plan. Although hair transplant surgery may work for certain individuals, one should bear in mind that results are not always consistent and can take up to several months after the operation before they become fully visible. For more details, contact a hair transplant surgeon.

How do I cure my androgenetic alopecia?
Answered on 17th Jan '24
This is a genetic disease called androgenetic alopecia, which many people refer to as male or female pattern baldness with no absolute cure. Various treatments can help control the progression. Hair growth can be promoted and hair loss slowed down with the help of an over-the-counter medication called topical minoxidil. Orally administered prescribed medications like Finasteride can be used to suppress the effects of hormones that lead to hair loss. PRP treatment is showing promising results currently as solutions for encouraging growth of hair follicles. A visit to a dermatologist or hair specialist is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and recommendation of the most suitable treatment plan based on your condition and individual needs.
