Hair Transplantation is not an option for every person with hair loss, sometimes medical treatment itself can do miracles.

Recent times, even though many medicines are being claimed as good for hair growth, only few medicines like Finasteride and Minoxidil have been approved by scientific authorities worldwide for delaying the progression of baldness.

Hair loss in patients may not be always genetic in origin (Androgenetic alopecia / patterned hair loss) as some of them lose hair because of other causes which can be identified by relevant history and investigations, and can be treated accordingly.

It is always imperative to treat the underlying cause of hair loss as in the case of patients with Thyroid dysfunction, Anemia, etc; before directly going for hair loss treatment.

Hence the primary role of a doctor is to identify and treat the cause and not to consider every hair loss patient to be one and the same.
