Hair Loss Treatment in Lahore by Prof. Dr. Azim Jahangir Khan
Looking for hair loss treatment from the best hair transplant surgeon in Lahore? Prof. Dr. Azim Jahangir Khan sees every patient and finds the real cause of the hair loss first. Some cases improve with medicines. Others need a hair transplant. We tell you honestly which one you need.
What Is Hair Loss?
Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. It becomes a problem when you see clumps in the brush or a wider parting or a receding hairline. Hair loss can appear as pattern baldness or thinning all over or bald patches.
Common Causes
- Family history and hormones
- Stress after illness or a hard time in life
- Low iron and vitamin deficiency
- Thyroid problems
- Hormonal changes after childbirth
- Scalp infection or heavy dandruff
- Tight hairstyles and rough styling
Some causes can be treated and hair regrows once the cause is fixed. This is why we never decide by looking at your hair alone.
Why You Need a Doctor First
Hair loss can come from a skin condition or an internal illness. Treating the wrong problem wastes months. Prof. Dr. Azim Jahangir Khan is trained in Internal Medicine and Dermatology. He has written chapters on hair loss and its treatment in textbooks taught in medical colleges around the world. At your first visit you are checked for the cause of your hair loss. Blood tests or a scalp skin sample are advised when needed.
Our Hair Loss Treatment Options
Medicines and Vitamins
Many patients start here. Doctors may advise vitamins and minoxidil or other medicines based on the diagnosis. Treatment differs for men and women.
Medicated Solutions and Shampoos
When scalp problems like dandruff or itching are part of the picture we treat the scalp too. A healthy scalp gives hair a better chance.
PRP Therapy
PRP means platelet rich plasma. A small amount of your blood is spun to collect platelets. These are injected into the scalp to support thinning areas. It helps some types of hair loss. It does not work for every case and we say so clearly.
Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a fine surgery for hair loss that medicines and lotions cannot fix. Healthy hair from the back of the scalp is moved to the thinning or bald area. We offer FUE and FUT and choose the method after checking your donor hair. You can read more on our FUE hair transplant page.
When Is a Hair Transplant the Right Answer?
A transplant may suit you if:
- You have pattern baldness that has stayed stable
- Medicines have not given enough result
- You have enough healthy donor hair at the back of the scalp
- You want a permanent result
If your hair loss is still changing fast the doctor may advise medical treatment first.
Realistic Expectations
Hair grows slowly. Medical treatment needs at least three to six months before you can judge it. After a transplant new hair starts to grow around month three or four. Most patients see the full result at around nine to twelve months. Results vary from person to person.
