Many changes in your hair do not need surgery. First, find out why it is happening.

Hair loss has different causes, and they are treated differently. A consultation looks at the pattern, your scalp, your medicines, recent illness and other changes. Sometimes a blood test helps.
You do not need to know the name of a treatment. Start with what you have noticed.
What have you noticed? Pick any that fit.
Pick what you have noticed and this will explain, in plain words, what it often points to.
General information, not a diagnosis. Some causes, such as a thyroid problem or low iron, only show up on a blood test.
Minoxidil and, for suitable patients, prescription medicines such as finasteride may be discussed for pattern hair loss.
Benefits, side effects, ongoing use and your medical circumstances all matter. A doctor should help you weigh them.
PRP uses a preparation from a person’s own blood and may be considered for selected types of hair loss. Response varies and repeated treatment may be needed.
If GFC or another adjunct is proposed, ask about the evidence, the aim, alternatives and the total course of care.
Inflammation, shedding and thinning are different problems. What Dr. Atul finds on your scalp can change his advice or call for tests.
A list of treatments helps only once you know the cause.
A clear plan says what you are treating, what progress might look like and when it will be reviewed. Medical treatment is slow, so the first year usually looks something like this.
What you are treating, the side effects to watch for, and photos taken to compare against later.
Is the routine working for you, and any side effects? It is too early to judge the hair itself.
Usually the first fair moment to see whether the treatment is helping.
Carry on, change or stop, with the reasons written down.
A typical review rhythm for medical treatment. Your own schedule is agreed with Dr. Atul.
A graft spends its first months growing roots you cannot see. Move through the first year to see what happens when.
A general timeline of a graft, drawn simply. It is not a prediction. Results vary, and shedding before regrowth is normal.
You can discuss both in the same consultation. Choose either one because it fits your hair loss.
