Why is my hair falling out?
The most common cause is telogen effluvium — heavy shedding that starts two to three months after a trigger such as a high fever, illness, surgery, childbirth, a crash diet or severe stress. Others include pattern hair loss, patchy loss (alopecia areata), and deficiencies of iron, vitamin D or thyroid hormone. We examine the scalp and order simple blood tests where they help, so treatment targets the actual cause.
How soon will I see results?
Skin and hair respond gradually. Acne and pigmentation treatments usually need 8–12 weeks to judge; hair shedding settles over 3–6 months once the cause is corrected, and new growth becomes visible from about three months. Consistency — with treatment, sunscreen and diet — matters more than any single session.
Can pigmentation or melasma be removed permanently?
Pigmentation from acne marks or tanning usually fades well. Melasma can be lightened and kept under control, but it tends to return with sun, heat and hormonal changes, so it needs long-term maintenance. Daily sunscreen — ideally a tinted one that also blocks visible light — is the single most important step.
Should I stop using fairness creams?
Many over-the-counter fairness creams in India have contained strong steroids, which can thin the skin, cause redness, acne and stretch marks, and make pigmentation worse when stopped. Do not use any cream containing a steroid unless a doctor has prescribed it for a specific condition and duration. We help you switch safely.
Is Ayurvedic skin and hair care safe?
When it is prescribed properly, yes. ‘Natural’ does not always mean harmless, so we use tested preparations, check for allergies and skin sensitivity, and combine Ayurvedic therapies with evidence-based skin care rather than replacing it.
What treatments does the She Clinic offer?
Depending on your skin and goals: HydraFacial and OxyGeneo facials, chemical peels, carbon laser peel, microneedling and scar reduction, PRP for skin and hair, anti-acne and anti-dandruff treatments, hair microneedling, and Ayurvedic therapies such as Lepam, Nasyam and Rakthamoksham — with a skin-and-hair diet plan where nutrition is part of the problem.
Does diet really affect skin and hair?
It can. Diets high in sugary, refined foods have been linked with acne in some people, and hair needs enough protein, iron and other nutrients to grow. Crash diets are a common trigger for hair fall. Our nutrition team can build a skin-and-hair diet around the foods you already eat.
Are these treatments suitable for Indian skin?
Yes, with the right choices. Darker skin types are more likely to develop dark marks after acne, irritation or aggressive procedures, so we choose gentler settings and peels, prepare the skin beforehand, and insist on sun protection afterwards.
Is surgery ever needed for skin or hair problems?
Not for the conditions we treat here. The next step, when first-line care is not enough, is usually prescription medicine — for example isotretinoin for severe or scarring acne, prescribed by a dermatologist. For advanced, stable pattern hair loss, some people choose a hair transplant; we give you an honest opinion on whether you are likely to benefit and refer you to a specialist.
When should I see a doctor urgently?
See a doctor promptly for a mole or spot that is changing in size, shape or colour, bleeds or will not heal; sudden patches of hair loss with a red, scaly or painful scalp; a rapidly spreading rash with fever; and hair loss together with weight loss, tiredness or irregular periods, which can point to thyroid, iron or hormonal problems.
