Who doesn’t want healthy and beautiful hair?
But unfortunately, hair loss is all too common. Losing 50 to 100 hairs in a day is quite normal, and nothing to be concerned about. But sometimes hair fall may increase explosively.
Excessive hair fall can be caused by genetics, hormonal imbalances, diseases like thyroid disease, alopecia, eating disorders, or certain medications. When people start losing hair in a great quantity, they feel self-conscious about their appearance and lose confidence. They might even begin avoiding social engagements.
At Arra Aesthetics, we offer many different solutions to hair fall and hair thinning, including surgical and non-surgical treatments.
There are many options to try when one suffers from out-of-control hair loss. Some people try to hide their hair loss by changing their hairstyle or wearing hats or scarves. Others try home remedies or over-the-counter medicines to prevent hair loss and increase hair growth. But these solutions don’t always work or they may have side effects.
There are many effective treatments and procedures to combat hair loss like hair transplant surgery, mesotherapy, stem cell therapy, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy), and laser treatments. It is best to consult a specialist doctor when dealing with excessive hair loss. They can help determine the cause of hair loss and prescribe the best treatment to reduce hair loss and encourage hair growth.
Dr. Vasant Gholave, director of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, has listed down a few criteria for a good candidate for non-surgical hair loss treatment. An ideal candidate for non-surgical hair loss treatment should:
Be an overall healthy individual
Have signs of hair thinning or balding
Have concerns about excessive hair loss
Want non-surgical options for hair rejuvenation
Have realistic expectations
The total cost of hair loss treatments varies based on the following factors:
Type and number of treatments
Number of sessions required
Equipment used in the procedure
Consultation fees
Fees of the team of doctors
The geographical location of the clinic or hospital
The average cost of hair loss treatments is around Rs. 5,000/- per session + 18% GST at Arra Aesthetics, Pune. In general, hair loss treatment requires 4-6 sessions. Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss every aspect of the cost of hair loss treatments with you during consultation.
During the consultation, Dr. Vasant Gholave, Director of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, will first carefully examine the patient. He will enquire about the patient’s full medical history, lifestyle, and daily habits. If the patient is suffering from hair loss, he will try and determine the cause of hair loss.
Dr. Vasant Gholave will carefully plan the hair loss treatment on the basis of the physical examination and the cause of the hair loss. In some cases, the treatment plan may be a combination of different procedures to get optimal results. He will explain the detailed treatment plan to the patient, including how long the patient may have to wait to see the results of the treatment. Dr. Vasant Gholave will explain the best possible results of the treatment because it is necessary for the patient to have realistic expectations from the treatment. He will also explain the possible risks of the treatment and answer any doubts the patient may have. He will do his best to ensure that the patient goes through the treatment comfortably and with a clear mind.
The following are the details of the different non-surgical hair loss treatments performed at Arra Aesthetics:
Trichology is the science of hair, hair loss, and scalp problems and tricho analysis is the use of advanced technology to do an in-depth analysis of the scalp and hair. Tricho analysis is the first step in any hair loss treatment since it helps diagnose the root cause of the hair fall and helps the doctor create an effective treatment plan.
Low level laser therapy (or LLLT) is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment that uses a laser to stimulate hair follicles and induce hair growth. The laser beam penetrates into the scalp and stimulates the hair follicles to encourage hair growth. At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, we use the revolutionary RecoSMA Laser, developed by LINLINE Medical Systems for LLLT.

Mesotherapy is a minimally-invasive, cosmetic procedure that involves using injections of vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and plant extracts to rejuvenate hair.
In mesotherapy, the selected solution is injected into the target area like the bald spot with a special mesotherapy gun. This device has a sterile needle, which injects the solution into the target area. If mesotherapy is done to combat hair loss, then the solution may consist of biotin, dexenol, dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, vitamins, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
Mesotherapy improves blood circulation, delivers nutrients to the cells, and slows down the shrinking of hair follicles. This is a relatively fast procedure and is generally finished within 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size or number of the target areas.
Mesotherapy usually requires 8 sessions, spread over a duration of 2 to 4 weeks. The results will probably be visible after the fifth session.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, commonly known as PRP therapy, is a non-invasive procedure where the patient’s own blood cells are used to rejuvenate the scalp and regrow new hair. In PRP, blood is extracted from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge to get platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
During PRP therapy, the doctor extracts approximately 10ml of the patient’s blood. The doctor then uses a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the blood. The platelet-rich plasma is directly injected into the patient’s scalp to promote the healing of tissues and to stimulate the hair follicles.
The growth factors in PRP encourage hair growth while simultaneously improving the quality of existing hair.
The procedure is completed in an hour. Generally, multiple sessions are required and results are visible after the third session.
Tenderness in the scalp
Swelling
Temporary bleeding
Headache
Itchiness
Safe and non-invasive option for hair growth

Hair stem cell therapy or HST is a recently developed hair growth technique that gives amazing results. Stem cell therapy improves the overall quality of hair while multiplying hair cells at a fast pace.
During hair stem cell therapy, the doctor first extracts stem cells from the patient’s body and places them in a centrifuge. The centrifuge processes the stem cells and leaves behind cell suspension which the doctor injects into the target areas on the scalp.
The stem cells in the scalp secrete growth factors and stimulate hair growth. Depending on the amount of hair loss and the size of the target area, 2 to 6 sessions may be required to get the best results from stem cell therapy.
Minimal pain
Temporary pain at the target area
Scarring
Minimally invasive treatment
Very few sessions required
