General Questions
What causes hair loss? expand_more
Hair loss can be caused by various factors including genetics (androgenetic
alopecia), hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, and stress. Our
diagnostic protocol at DR HAIR identifies the exact root cause before recommending a
restorative path.
Is hair loss permanent? expand_more
Not necessarily. Many types of hair loss, such as those caused by stress (telogen
effluvium) or nutritional deficiencies, are temporary. However, genetic thinning is
progressive and requires intervention to slow or reverse.
Can hair regrow naturally? expand_more
Regrowth depends on the status of the follicle. If the follicle is dormant but
alive, natural stimulation through diet and clinical treatments like GFC can
re-trigger growth. Once a follicle is fully scarred over, clinical restoration is
usually required.

What is the difference between PRP and GFC? expand_more
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) uses concentrated platelets, while GFC (Growth Factor
Concentrate) is a more advanced, highly purified extraction that delivers growth
factors directly to the scalp without extraneous cells, leading to faster results
and less inflammation.
What is the best treatment for me? expand_more
Every scalp is unique. The "Atelier" philosophy at DR HAIR means we perform a
microscopic analysis (Trichoscopy) to determine the best customized plan, which
could involve non-invasive therapy or surgical restoration.

Hair Transplant
Is the transplant permanent? expand_more
Yes. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the
head), which is genetically programmed to resist hair loss. Once transplanted, they
continue to grow for a lifetime.
How long is the recovery time? expand_more
Initial healing takes about 7-10 days. Most patients return to work within 3-5 days.
The new hair begins to grow visibly around 3-4 months, with final results at 12
months.
