About the Condition
What is Hair Loss and Alopecia?
Hair loss and alopecia refer to a spectrum of conditions in which hair thins, sheds excessively, or stops growing, affecting the scalp or other hair-bearing areas of the body. While often perceived as a cosmetic concern, hair loss can signal underlying medical issues — including hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic illness — and can have a meaningful impact on psychological wellbeing and quality of life. Certain patterns of loss, particularly scarring (cicatricial) alopecia, can cause permanent follicle damage if not identified and managed promptly. A thorough assessment of personal and family medical history, alongside relevant laboratory investigations and clinical examination, is essential to understanding the cause and guiding appropriate care.

Treatment options for Hair Loss and Alopecia
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment for hair loss and thinning in which a patient's own blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles.
Why it may be consideredIt is commonly used for androgenetic alopecia, early-stage pattern baldness, and to support hair transplant results, offering a minimally invasive option with little downtime.
Advanced Medical Hair Loss Treatment covers a spectrum of clinically proven options—from non-surgical medical therapy and PRP to advanced hair transplantation techniques like FUE and FUT—used to treat androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair thinning.
Why it may be consideredTreatment is selected based on the pattern, extent and cause of hair loss, donor hair availability, and patient goals. India is a leading global destination for these treatments due to experienced dermatologists and hair restoration surgeons, modern technology, and significantly lower costs than Western countries.

Common questions
FAQs about Hair Loss and Alopecia in Delhi NCR, India
What is Hair Loss and Alopecia?
Hair loss (alopecia) is the partial or complete absence of hair in areas where it would normally grow, resulting from disruptions to the hair growth cycle, follicle damage, or underlying systemic or autoimmune conditions. It ranges from temporary, diffuse shedding to permanent, patterned loss, and its cause determines the most appropriate management pathway.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Hair Loss and Alopecia?
Common presentations include gradual thinning at the crown or hairline, a widening part, patchy circular bald spots, sudden diffuse shedding across the scalp, or full loss of hair on the scalp and body in more severe forms. Associated findings may include scalp inflammation, itching, or scarring, and in some cases hair loss reflects a broader health condition such as thyroid dysfunction, iron-deficiency anaemia, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is important to note that the pattern and extent of symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis or determine the underlying cause.
How is Hair Loss and Alopecia diagnosed?
A clinician will typically begin with a detailed history covering the timeline of loss, family history, medications, nutritional intake, and any recent physical or emotional stressors, followed by a thorough scalp and hair examination. Relevant investigations may include blood tests to evaluate thyroid function, ferritin, full blood count, hormonal panels, and inflammatory markers, depending on the suspected cause. In cases where scarring, inflammation, or an ambiguous pattern is present, a scalp biopsy may be recommended; trichoscopy (dermoscopy of the scalp) is also a valuable non-invasive tool used to classify the type and stage of hair loss, with androgenetic alopecia commonly graded using the Norwood-Hamilton scale in men and the Ludwig scale in women.
How is Hair Loss and Alopecia treated?
The most appropriate treatment depends on the confirmed diagnosis, the type and grade of hair loss, its duration, and individual patient factors — and should be determined through a personalised consultation with a qualified clinician rather than based on generalised recommendations. Non-procedural options such as topical or oral medications, nutritional correction, and management of underlying conditions are frequently the first line of care and may achieve meaningful stabilisation or regrowth in suitable candidates. For individuals where medical management alone is insufficient or where restoration of density is a goal, procedural approaches such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy or advanced medical hair loss treatments may be considered as part of a structured plan, with outcomes varying by individual.
Can Hair Loss and Alopecia be treated without surgery?
Non-surgical management is a well-established and often primary pathway for many forms of alopecia, and includes topical minoxidil, oral medications (such as finasteride or spironolactone, where clinically appropriate), corticosteroid injections for inflammatory or autoimmune types, and treatment of any contributing systemic condition. Lifestyle measures — including nutritional optimisation, stress management, and avoidance of damaging hair practices — may also support hair health. The suitability of any specific agent and its dosage must be assessed and prescribed by a qualified clinician based on the individual's diagnosis and medical profile.
When is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss considered for Hair Loss and Alopecia?
PRP Therapy for Hair Loss may be considered when conservative or medical options have not achieved enough improvement, or when the severity of the condition warrants it. The decision depends on clinical assessment, expected benefits and individual risks.
Which doctor treats Hair Loss and Alopecia?
Hair loss is primarily evaluated and managed by a consultant dermatologist, ideally one with a subspecialty interest or demonstrated experience in trichology (the medical study of hair and scalp disorders). Depending on findings, input from an endocrinologist or gynaecologist may also be sought if a hormonal or systemic condition is identified as a contributing factor.
How do I choose a doctor for Hair Loss and Alopecia?
When selecting a provider, look for a dermatologist with documented experience in diagnosing and treating a range of alopecia subtypes, access to diagnostic tools such as trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, and a clear follow-up protocol to monitor treatment response over time. Affiliation with a multidisciplinary centre where endocrine or other specialist input is available when needed is an additional advantage.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a medical summary, investigation and imaging or biopsy reports where relevant, a current medication list, previous diagnoses and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translation where needed.
