Let’s be real—hair loss is something that goes with the majority of people at least once in their lifetime. It’s not a matter of being a male or a female, young or not-so-young. Sometimes hair becomes strong again by itself, but other times you are left with the hairbrush full of hair and no idea what happened. Understanding the reason behind it and choosing the right treatment will make a difference of a mile.
Why Does Hair Fall Out? Here’s the Usual Suspects
Your hair is not dead. Each hair comprises one cycle: hair grows, rests for a while, then it falls out. You start seeing hair lying around when the cycle that your hair goes through is disturbed. These are the causes, which are mostly behind it:
• Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss): This one is the standard case. Genes are to be blamed. Affected are both males and females. To put it shortly, hair cavities become tremendously sensitive to some particular hormones and shrink, which leads to hair thinning, especially at the temples (side of forehead) or on the crown (top part of forehead) of the head.
• Telogen Effluvium: Have you ever observed that more hair is coming out than usual after a difficult and stressed period of your life? It might be stressing, sick, or just had a baby, or went on a crash diet, then yes, that would be telogen effluvium. It is caused after:
Major stress (physical or emotional high fevers or bad infections Childbirth (all those hormones shifting) Not eating enough or dropping weight fast Certain medications Most of the time, additional hair loss will not be seen immediately, but a couple of months later. The good news is that the condition is dependent on and will get better soon.
• Alopecia Areata In this case, immune system gets confused and attacks hair follicles. It is the reason why we can suddenly see those circular bald patches.
• Other Factors That May Cause Hair Loss Thyroid problems Low iron or anemia PCOS or other hormone issues Fungal scalp infections Wearing your hair too tight or using harsh chemicals
How Dermatologists Get to the Bottom of It Dr. Rinky Kapoor’s Research on QR-678 / QR-678 Neo
Dr. Rinky Kapoor (with colleagues including Dr. Debraj Shome) has been a lead investigator on clinical research evaluating a recombinant growth-factor formulation known as QR-678 / QR-678 Neo. Key points from the published work and institutional reports:
- Dr. Kapoor is co-author on clinical evaluations of intradermal injections of a bioengineered hair growth factor construction evaluating both efficacy and safety; her studies report assessable improvement in hair density and reduction in hair fall in selected patients. The 2018 PubMed-indexed experimental study defined intradermic injections of a specific recombinant growth-factor formula and decided that the treatment was effective and well endured in the studied unit.
- Further single-blind and randomized relative studies (published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology and related journals) have explored QR-678/QR-678 Neo in situations such as chemotherapy-induced hair loss and alopecia areata, reporting promising results versus controls in initial trials. These studies form the evidence base for the product’s continued clinical use and further research.
Collectively, Dr. Rinky Kapoor’s work positions QR-678 as a promising adjunct treatment for stimulating hair regrowth under specialist supervision.
If someone wants to treat hair loss, then knowing the reason is a must. Dermatologists find out the causes by:
Asking about your health, history, and family Examining your scalp and hair roots—sometimes with a magnifier doing a quick pull test to check how many hairs come out Performing blood tests (checking thyroid, iron, vitamin D, and the like In case they are still uncertain, taking a small scalp sample for biopsy All the detective work…
