What Is It

What is Trichology?

Trichology is the science of hair and scalp health — encompassing the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions affecting hair growth, hair loss, hair shaft disorders, and scalp diseases. A qualified trichologist investigates the root cause of hair problems, not just the symptoms.

Dr. Prratyush More is the only dermatologist in Thane with specific international training in trichology and hair restoration — under Dr. Alex Ginzburg in Israel. This training gives his practice a depth of diagnostic and therapeutic capability genuinely unmatched locally.

Hair loss is deeply personal. It affects confidence, identity, and quality of life. At Dr. More's clinic, every hair loss patient receives the time, empathy, and clinical precision their condition demands.

Conditions We Treat

Hair Loss Conditions Diagnosed & Treated

From common androgenetic alopecia to complex autoimmune hair conditions — the full spectrum of hair and scalp disorders managed expertly.

👨

Male Pattern Baldness (AGA)

Androgenetic alopecia affecting over 50% of men by age 50. Comprehensive medical management including finasteride, topical minoxidil, and GFC therapy — matched to grade, age, and lifestyle. Hair transplant consultation and planning also available.

👩

Female Hair Thinning (FPHL)

Frequently misdiagnosed or dismissed. Dr. More conducts detailed hormonal workup, trichoscopy, and haematological evaluation to identify contributing factors. Treatment includes minoxidil, anti-androgens, nutritional correction, and GFC therapy.

💫

Alopecia Areata

An autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss. Prognosis varies from single patches that regrow spontaneously to extensive loss. Evidence-based treatments include intralesional corticosteroids, immunotherapy, and topical sensitisers.

🔬

Telogen Effluvium

Diffuse shedding triggered by stress, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, post-pregnancy, or major illness. Often alarming in quantity but largely reversible with correct diagnosis and management of the underlying trigger.

🌿

Growth Factor Therapy (GFC)

Advanced hair restoration using concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood. GFC delivers higher growth factor concentrations than conventional hair therapy. Clinical results show measurable hair density improvement in 3–4 sessions.

🔴

Scalp Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis

Chronic scalp conditions causing scaling, itching, inflammation, and secondary hair loss. Accurate differential diagnosis between these conditions is essential. Long-term management plans control these relapsing conditions and minimise associated hair fall.

Our Process

Our Hair Loss Diagnosis & Treatment Process

A methodical, evidence-based approach to identifying the exact cause of your hair loss and designing an effective treatment plan.

01
Hair Loss Assessment

Detailed Trichological History

A comprehensive hair loss history — onset, pattern, rate of shedding, family history, diet, medications, hormonal changes. This 30–45 minute consultation is the foundation of accurate diagnosis.

02
Trichoscopy

Dermoscopic Scalp Analysis

Non-invasive dermoscopic examination of scalp and hair follicles — assessing hair shaft diameter, follicular density, miniaturisation pattern, scalp vascularity. Critical for accurate differential diagnosis.

03
Investigation

Targeted Blood Investigations

Complete blood count, iron studies, thyroid function, hormone profile, vitamin D and B12 — ordered only when they will meaningfully guide treatment, not as a routine panel.

04
Treatment

Personalised Treatment Protocol

Written treatment plan covering diagnosis, medications, in-clinic procedures (GFC), dietary recommendations, and expected timeline. Progress tracked with standardised trichoscopy photography.

05
Follow-Up

Monitoring & Long-Term Management

Follow-up at 8–12 week intervals tracking trichoscopic improvement, assessing medication response, and adjusting treatment. You are never abandoned after the initial prescription.

Treatment Outcomes

What You Can Expect

Honest, realistic outcomes based on 14+ years of clinical practice and thousands of successfully treated patients.

Accurate Root-Cause Diagnosis

Trichoscopy combined with targeted investigations identifies the precise cause — enabling targeted treatment rather than trial-and-error.

📈

Measurable Hair Density Improvement

GFC show measurable improvement in hair density and shaft diameter on trichoscopy within 3–4 sessions, documented with standardised photography.

⏱️

Stabilisation Within 3 Months

Most active hair loss conditions show significant stabilisation within 3 months of appropriate treatment — stopping further loss is an important early outcome.

🔒

Long-Term Hair Preservation

The goal is preserving existing hair density long-term, not just transient regrowth. Maintenance protocols are planned from the first session.

“I had tried 4 different doctors for my hair loss without any clear diagnosis. Dr. More performed trichoscopy at the very first visit and diagnosed androgenetic alopecia with telogen effluvium overlay. After 3 months, my shedding has completely stopped.”

Common Questions

Hair Loss Treatment — FAQs

Clear, honest answers to the questions our hair loss patients ask most often.

What is the difference between GFC for hair loss?

+

Both use growth factors from your own blood, but GFC delivers significantly higher concentrations of specific growth factors compared to conventional hair therapy. GFC uses a specialised protocol eliminating red blood cells and platelets, leaving a pure, high-concentration growth factor solution. Clinical studies show superior results with GFC in terms of hair density improvement and patient comfort.

How many sessions of GFC are needed?

+

Most protocols involve 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the induction phase, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 months. The exact protocol depends on type and severity of hair loss, your response to treatment, and trichoscopic findings at each follow-up.

Is hair loss treatment permanent?

+

The effectiveness depends on the underlying cause. Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic, progressive condition — medical treatment controls it but does not permanently cure it. Alopecia areata and telogen effluvium have better prospects for resolution with treatment of the underlying trigger.

Can women take finasteride for hair loss?

+

Finasteride is not recommended for pre-menopausal women due to teratogenic risks. Alternative medical therapies — minoxidil, anti-androgens, spironolactone — are available and safer options for female pattern hair loss in most women.

What investigations are needed for hair loss?

+

Not all hair loss requires extensive investigation. For typical male androgenetic alopecia, clinical and trichoscopic examination may be sufficient. For females and diffuse or atypical loss, thyroid function, iron studies, hormonal profile, and vitamin levels may be requested — only when they will meaningfully change the treatment plan.

I've been losing hair for years — is it too late for treatment?

+

It depends on the extent of follicular miniaturisation. Trichoscopy assesses follicular viability — whether follicles are miniaturising (treatable) or permanently lost. If significant viable follicles remain, medical treatment can be highly effective. For advanced baldness with follicular destruction, hair transplant consultation is appropriate.
