Hair & scalp disorders — a clinical overview

Hair and scalp are an inseparable part of overall health and emotional well-being. Due to the high follicle density and sebum activity, the scalp is sensitive to a wide range of medical conditions.

These disorders may stem from genetic, hormonal, inflammatory or autoimmune causes, or even from systemic diseases, and they often present with overlapping symptoms such as dandruff, itching, inflammation, redness or hair loss.

Correct diagnosis is a central stage, since in many cases it is the expression of a deeper medical problem that requires medical attention.

Effective solutions with no need for surgical procedures.

Minimal downtime

An almost immediate return to daily activity after treatment.

Maximum safety

Frequently asked questions about hair treatments

Conservative treatments are non-surgical medical solutions meant to slow hair loss, strengthen existing follicles and encourage growth. They include PRP, mesotherapy, low-level laser and topical or oral medications.

They suit people in the early stages of hair loss, those who want to improve hair quality and thickness, and those interested in prevention and preservation. They also serve as a complement to hair transplantation.

Conservative treatments are very effective in early stages and in preventing further loss, but they cannot create hair in areas that have already gone completely bald. A transplant suits cases of more advanced loss.

The duration varies by type: PRP and mesotherapy take about 30–45 minutes, and low-level laser about 20 minutes. All treatments are performed on an outpatient basis.

Usually 3–6 initial treatments at intervals of 2–4 weeks, depending on the starting condition, followed by maintenance treatments every 3–6 months.

Most treatments involve only mild discomfort. With mesotherapy and PRP there may be slight pricking sensations, and a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied before treatment.

Initial results such as reduced shedding are usually visible after 2–3 treatments. Qualitative improvement and new growth begin to appear after 3–4 months of regular treatment.

Recovery is very fast — an immediate return to routine. There may be redness or mild tenderness at the treatment site for a few hours, and you can return to work the same day.

Conservative treatments require continuity. Results are maintained as long as maintenance treatments continue; stopping treatment may lead to a gradual return of hair loss.
