Mumbai — Hair loss in men is far more than a cosmetic concern—it can significantly impact self-esteem, social interactions, and even career confidence. While the internet is flooded with “miracle cures,” experts emphasize that successful treatment hinges on timing, tailored strategies, and a combination of medical and cosmetic solutions.
Dr. Ajara Sayyad, Medical Director at The Eterne Clinic in Mumbai’s Hiranandani Gardens, highlights the importance of early intervention. “Medical management is most effective when hair thinning is in its early stages—typically Grades 1 to 3,” she told HT Lifestyle. “Our primary aim at that point is to preserve existing hair and enhance scalp function.”
Medical Approaches: Slowing the Progression
Early-stage treatments focus on strengthening hair follicles and maintaining scalp health. According to Dr. Sayyad, an effective regimen may include:
Nutritional supplements to support hair health from within
Scalp therapies to boost microcirculation and reduce inflammation
Anti-DHT medications—now available as tablets or injectables—to slow hormone-related hair loss
Anti-dandruff treatments to manage scalp conditions that may accelerate shedding
“Men hesitant to commit to daily tablets can opt for injectable mesotherapy with DHT blockers,” she said, citing the convenience and targeted delivery of this option. Additionally, regenerative treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC), Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (iPRF), and Hair Exosome Therapy are gaining popularity. “These therapies stimulate dormant follicles and promote natural hair density over time,” Dr. Sayyad added.
Advanced Solutions: Cosmetic and Surgical Restoration
For those in advanced stages of hair loss (Grade 4 and beyond), Dr. Sayyad recommends restoration-focused interventions. “At this stage, it’s about rebuilding what’s lost—both in terms of appearance and self-assurance,” she explained.
Key options include:
Hair Transplant Surgery, including FAAST Long Hair FUE, a proprietary technique at The Eterne Clinic. This no-shave, minimal-downtime procedure allows visible results from day one, with patients resuming normal activities within a week.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), a precise cosmetic tattooing method that mimics the look of natural hair stubble
Temporary hair-building fibres for instant volume and camouflage
Hair patches or wigs, ideal for those with extensive balding or unsuitable for surgery
Finding the Right Fit
“Every patient’s hair story is unique,” Dr. Sayyad emphasized. “We start with detailed diagnostics like scalp analysis and trichoscopy to determine the stage of hair loss, follicle health, and donor hair viability.”
Based on the results, clinicians can build a personalized plan combining medical, regenerative, and cosmetic solutions. The key, she stresses, is early action. “The sooner you seek professional help, the more options remain available. When it comes to hair restoration, it’s not just about regrowth—it’s about reclaiming control and confidence.”
