Androgenic alopecia (also known as Male Pattern Baldness, androgenetic alopecia) is a type of hair loss that occurs due to male hormones (androgens) and the susceptibility of the hair follicles to the androgen levels in the body, namely testosterone and dihydroteststerone (DHT). It is the most common cause of hair loss and hairfall and affects as many as 70% of men and 40% of women at some point in their lifetime. Women too can get affected by Male pattern baldness, if they have increased levels of testosterone and DHT in their blood (elevated levels of male hormones). Men typically present with hairline decrease at the temples and vertex balding, while women end up having diffusely thin hair over the top of their scalps. Genetic etiologies are the most important for this type of hair loss. Of course, the male hormone testosterone and DHT, hair conditions like dandruff and hair infections and environmental conditions like poor water, inadequate nutrition and poor hair hygeine and stress play a role as well. So, how to treat male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia? Obviously, testosterone cannot be removed in a male, since testosterone and DHT are also responsible for the other male functions.

The QR 678 Growth Factor Injections are a revolutionary hair composition of six hair growth factors. Hair growth factors are normally present in scalp, but decrease in those scalps losing hair. In a landmark clinical trial, which was the result of extensive and the latest research in hair growth and treatment of hair loss, Indian scientists led by Dr. Debraj Shome and Dr. Rinky Kapoor identified the groth factors necessary for hair growth and combined them in a hair growth composition called the QR 678. The QR 678 hair growth factors are injected into the hair scalp, in the areas of hair loss. 8 sessions of hair injections are needed, spaced one month to 6 weeks apart. Hair lotions are continued to support hair growth. The QR 678 hair growth factors are much more advanced than PRP injections (Platelet Rich Plasma) and stem cells for hair growth. In fact, stem cell injections are extremely non-selective for hair growth. Similarly, the PRP injections are very non selective and are not very effective for hair growth. The QR 678 hair growth factor injections, on the other hand, are extremely effective for stopping hair loss and causing hair growth. In fact, as these injections grow back hair naturally without any side effects, and are non invasive unlike hair restoration surgery, these injections are more effective and more advanced than hair transplant surgery. Hair transplant surgery is expensive, invasive, can cause side effects and needs to be repeated.
