Hair Restoration in Islamabad

Hair restoration is a medical plan to slow hair loss, thicken weak hair and, when needed, replace lost hair. At Dermalase in F-10, Islamabad, Dr. Shumaila Khan finds the cause of your hair loss first, then chooses the treatment. Pattern baldness, low iron, thyroid disease, PCOS, post-pregnancy shedding and alopecia areata all look like “hair fall” but need different treatment.

Types of Hair Loss We Diagnose

Type	Signs	Can hair regrow?
Androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)	Men: receding temples, thin crown. Women: wider parting	Can be slowed; partial regrowth with early treatment
Telogen effluvium	Heavy shedding 2 to 3 months after illness, fever, crash diet or childbirth	Usually yes, once the trigger is fixed
Alopecia areata	Round, smooth bald patches	Often yes; can relapse
Scarring alopecia	Shiny patches with redness, pain or burning	Scarred follicles do not regrow; early treatment stops spread
Traction alopecia	Thinning at hairline from tight braids, buns or scarves	Yes if caught early
Scalp disease (dandruff, fungal infection)	Flakes, itch, redness, patchy loss	Yes, once treated

Hair Loss Stages: Norwood and Ludwig Scales

Scale	Stage	Meaning
Norwood (men)	1 to 2	Mild temple recession
Norwood (men)	3 to 4	Deeper recession, crown thinning
Norwood (men)	5 to 7	Large bald areas
Ludwig (women)	I	Mild thinning at the parting
Ludwig (women)	II	Wider parting, more thinning

Hair Restoration Treatments

Treatment	What it does	Evidence	Best for
Minoxidil; finasteride (men)	Extends growth phase; lowers DHT	Best studied; modest effect; works only while used	Pattern hair loss
Correcting deficiencies	Restores iron, vitamin D, B12, thyroid balance	Strong when deficiency is proven	Diffuse shedding
PRP (platelet-rich plasma)	Growth factors from your own blood	Moderate; a 2023 meta-analysis of 10 trials found higher hair density	Early to moderate thinning
Microneedling	Helps medicine reach follicles	Moderate as add-on	With minoxidil or PRP
Exosome therapy	Signalling particles applied to scalp	Early; small studies	Selected cases
PDO thread scalp therapy	Absorbable threads in the scalp	Limited	Supportive option
Medicated scalp treatment	Treats dandruff and fungal infection	Strong	Scalp disease

PRP may not suit you if you take blood thinners, have a blood disorder, are pregnant or have a scalp infection.

Hair Restoration for Women

Common causes are iron deficiency, thyroid disease, PCOS, pregnancy and postpartum changes, menopause and pattern hair loss. Treatment starts with blood tests, then minoxidil, correcting deficiencies, PRP and microneedling. Some hair medicines are unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, so the plan is matched to your family planning. Postpartum shedding usually recovers within 6 to 12 months.

Hair Restoration for Men

Men most often have pattern hair loss with a receding hairline and thinning crown. Options are minoxidil, finasteride, PRP and microneedling. Finasteride can rarely cause low libido or mood changes, which Dr. Khan reviews with you first.
