Hair & Nail Treatment
Hair and nail treatments encompass a range of therapeutic procedures and products designed to address various issues related to hair and nails. These treatments aim to improve the health, appearance, and function of hair and nails, which can be affected by conditions such as hair loss, thinning, dandruff, nail infections, and more.

Hair Fall/Dandruff
Hair fall refers to the loss of hair from the scalp, which can lead to thinning or bald patches. Dandruff is characterized by flaky, white or yellowish patches on the scalp that can cause itching and irritation.
Causes
Hair fall can be caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions and improper hair care practices. Dandruff is often due to an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast, which can be exacerbated by dry skin, oily scalp, or sensitivity to hair products.
Treatment
For hair fall, treatments include advanced diagnostic evaluations to determine the root cause, followed by targeted therapies such as prescription medications, topical treatments, and personalized hair care regimens. For dandruff, treatment focuses on controlling the symptoms and addressing the root cause. We use medicated shampoos with active ingredients like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide to reduce fungal growth and inflammation.

Alopecia
Alopecia is an umbrella term for conditions that result in hair loss. The most common form is alopecia areata, which causes sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. It can vary in severity, from small patches to complete loss of hair.
Causes
Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. Genetic factors and environmental triggers may also play a role. Androgenetic alopecia is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, leading to gradual hair thinning and loss over time
Treatment
For alopecia areata, we may use corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and promote hair regrowth. Other options include topical immunotherapy and minoxidil to stimulate hair follicles. For androgenetic alopecia, treatments like therapy and finasteride can help slow hair loss and promote regrowth.

Hair Thinning
Hair thinning refers to a reduction in hair density, which can lead to a visibly sparse appearance on the scalp. It can occur gradually or suddenly and may affect both men and women. Hair thinning can be a precursor to more significant hair loss and is often a sign of underlying health issues.
Causes
Hair thinning can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances (such as those related to thyroid disorders or menopause), nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress, medical conditions (like anemia or chronic illness), and genetic predisposition.
Treatment
Treatments may include topical solutions like minoxidil to stimulate hair growth, nutritional supplements to address deficiencies, and advanced therapies to rejuvenate hair follicles. Additionally, we offer personalized hair care advice and recommend lifestyle changes to enhance hair health and prevent further thinning.

Nail Infections
Nail infections are conditions where fungi, bacteria, or viruses infect the nails or surrounding skin. They can cause symptoms like discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and pain. Fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis, are particularly common and affect the toenails more frequently than the fingernails.
Causes
Nail infections are often caused by exposure to fungal organisms in moist environments, such as public showers, swimming pools, and gym locker rooms. Other factors include poor nail hygiene, injury to the nail, underlying health conditions and wearing tight or non-breathable footwear.
Treatment
For fungal infections, we use antifungal medications, which may be topical or oral, depending on the severity and type of infection. We also offer advanced laser therapy to target and eliminate fungal organisms effectively. For bacterial infections, appropriate antibiotics are prescribed, and we provide guidance on proper nail hygiene to prevent recurrence.

Hair GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate)
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) is an advanced cosmetic treatment that uses a concentrated form of growth factors derived from platelets in the patient’s own blood. These growth factors play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration. GFC therapy involves injecting these growth factors into targeted areas of the skin or scalp to stimulate cell renewal and improve skin or hair quality.
Causes
GFC is used to address various skin and hair concerns, including signs of aging, skin damage, and hair thinning. The treatment harnesses the body’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve overall texture.
Treatment
At our clinic, GFC therapy is performed with precision to ensure optimal results. The procedure begins with a blood draw, followed by the processing of the blood to concentrate the growth factors. The concentrate is then injected into the targeted areas of the skin or scalp.

(Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a therapeutic procedure that uses a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood to promote healing and regeneration. This therapy involves injecting this concentrated plasma into areas of the skin or scalp to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and encourage hair growth.
Causes
It is used to address various cosmetic and medical concerns. In dermatology, it is employed for facial rejuvenation, reducing fine lines, and improving skin texture. It is also effective for treating hair loss by stimulating hair follicles and promoting new hair growth.
Treatment
Our clinic offers therapy with a focus on safety and effectiveness. The process begins with a blood draw, followed by centrifugation to separate the platelets from other blood components. It is then injected into the treatment areas, such as the scalp for hair loss or the face for skin rejuvenation. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires several sessions for optimal results

Scalp Infection Treatment
Scalp infections involve bacterial, fungal, or viral invasions that affect the scalp’s health, leading to symptoms like itching, redness, flaking, hair loss, and discomfort. Common scalp infections include ringworm, folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis, which can disrupt the scalp’s normal balance.
Causes
Scalp infections are often caused by poor hygiene, excessive oil production, hormonal imbalances, stress, or sharing contaminated personal items. Infections can lead to inflammation, irritation, and in severe cases, hair loss, requiring prompt treatment to prevent complications and restore scalp health.
Treatment
Depending on the type of infection, the clinic offers antifungal shampoos, topical or oral medications, and scalp care regimens to eliminate the infection and soothe the scalp. Patients receive expert guidance on maintaining scalp hygiene and preventing recurrence, ensuring effective treatment and improved scalp health.
