Hair Fall Treatment in Chennai
Hair fall in Chennai rarely has one cause. Sweat trapped under a helmet on the daily ride inflames the scalp, a viral fever or dengue in the monsoon triggers a wave of shedding two or three months later, and pattern thinning, thyroid trouble, low iron or PCOS carry on quietly underneath. The T. Nagar clinic finds which of these is yours before treating it. Our guide to the real causes of hair loss is a good place to start.

Finding the Cause Before Treating the Hair Fall
The first visit is a diagnosis. The doctor asks when the shedding began and what happened two to three months before it: a fever, a delivery, a crash diet, a new medicine, a stressful quarter at work. A gentle pull test shows how actively hair is shedding, and the scalp is examined under magnification to tell thinning, miniaturising hairs from broken ones, the short exclamation-mark hairs of alopecia areata, or the scaling of dandruff and scalp psoriasis.
Blood tests are ordered when the story suggests them: haemoglobin and ferritin for iron, thyroid function, vitamin D and B12, and hormonal tests for women with irregular cycles, acne or new facial hair. Shedding after an illness usually settles by itself within about six months once the trigger has passed and any deficiency is corrected; pattern hair loss in men and women is a long-term condition that needs a prescription plan the doctor explains in plain language.
Clinic treatment builds on that foundation. PRP and GFC, prepared from your own blood and injected into the thinning areas, run as a course of four to six monthly sessions before maintenance. Patchy alopecia areata is treated with small steroid injections into the patches every four to six weeks. A seborrhoeic or fungal scalp is cleared at the same time, because an inflamed scalp sheds more. For advanced, stable baldness, transplant candidacy is assessed in T. Nagar and the graft surgery is performed at our Thalassery or Coimbatore surgical centres, with aftercare back in Chennai.
Dr. Shefana leads consultations at the T. Nagar clinic and photographs the scalp from the same angles at every review, so progress is judged on evidence rather than on the hair in the shower drain. Shedding usually slows within six to eight weeks of the right treatment; visible regrowth takes three to six months.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Hair Fall Treatment in Chennai
How much hair fall is normal in a day?
Losing around 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. Shedding well beyond that for more than a few weeks, a widening parting, a see-through crown or round bald patches all deserve a consultation.
Is Chennai water causing my hair fall?
Hard or salty water can leave hair rough and more likely to break along the length, but it is rarely the reason hair falls from the root. Root shedding has a medical cause, and the consultation is where it is found.
Will my hair grow back after dengue or a viral fever?
Usually yes. Shedding after a high fever typically starts two to three months later and settles within about six months. The doctor checks for iron or vitamin deficiencies that can keep it going.
What does hair fall treatment cost in Chennai?
It depends on the cause: shedding after illness may need only tests and a short plan, while pattern hair loss may need PRP or GFC sessions. The doctor explains the plan and the cost at the consultation.
Should I see a doctor or a salon for hair fall?
A doctor can examine the scalp, order blood tests, diagnose conditions such as alopecia areata or a fungal infection and prescribe treatment. Salon treatments care for the hair shaft but cannot treat the cause.
