The direct answer
Hair-loss treatment works best when it matches the cause.
Pattern thinning, sudden shedding, scalp inflammation, nutritional deficiency and scarring hair loss can look similar in the mirror but may need very different care.
- Receding hairlines and crown thinning may suggest pattern hair loss.
- Diffuse shedding may follow illness, weight loss, childbirth, medication changes or major stress.
- Round patches, pain, heavy scaling or scarring need a different diagnostic pathway.
- No injection or tablet is automatically suitable for every type of hair loss.
What is the first step?
A doctor reviews the pattern, speed of change, scalp findings, health history, medicines and goals. Examination, trichoscopy, blood tests or specialist referral may be discussed when clinically relevant.
Hair grows slowly. Meaningful change is normally assessed over months using consistent photographs and clinical review, not after one treatment or from day-to-day shedding.
Why hair changes
One visible concern, several possible explanations
A useful consultation separates common progressive thinning from temporary shedding and conditions that require earlier specialist attention.
Telogen effluvium
Illness, rapid weight change, childbirth, major stress, nutritional problems or other triggers may shift more follicles into the resting phase.
Health, nutrition and medicines
Iron status, thyroid conditions, hormonal factors, chronic disease and some medicines may contribute and should be reviewed rather than guessed.
Inflammation or infection
Itching, scaling, pustules, tenderness or broken hairs may point toward a scalp disorder that needs targeted treatment before considering restoration procedures.
Sudden smooth patches, scalp pain, pus, spreading redness, loss of eyebrows, shiny scar-like skin or rapidly progressive loss may need dermatology investigation. Vivardi can assess and refer when appropriate.
Your first appointment
A structured hair and scalp assessment
The goal is not to sell a package. It is to understand which options are reasonable, which are unlikely to help and what should be investigated first.
Pattern and timeline
Where the loss began, how quickly it changed, shedding level, family history and previous treatment.
Health review
Medical conditions, medicines, nutrition, recent illness, weight change, pregnancy history and symptoms.
Scalp examination
Hair density, miniaturisation, inflammation, scarring or other findings, with trichoscopy when useful.
Personal plan
Suitable options, limitations, side effects, monitoring, alternatives and referral are explained before you decide.
Three treatments at Vivardi
Compare the available hair-loss pathways
These options work differently. Some patients may be considered for one treatment, a monitored combination or another pathway entirely after assessment.
01QR678 Neo Hair Restoration
A standardised injectable formulation intended to deliver growth-factor and peptide signals around selected active follicles. Suitability depends on the diagnosis and whether responsive follicles remain.
UsesPrepared formulation
Best discussed forSelected non-scarring thinning
MonitoringSerial review over months
Evidence is smaller and less independent than for established hair-loss medicines. Results and maintenance needs vary.
02PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a blood sample and placed into selected scalp areas. It may support hair density for some people with active, non-scarring pattern loss.
UsesAutologous plasma
Best discussed forEarly to moderate pattern thinning
MonitoringPhotos and clinical review
PRP protocols vary and it cannot revive permanently scarred follicles. Blood or platelet conditions and some medicines can affect suitability.
03Oral Hair Regrowth Medication
Prescription options may help selected patients slow pattern hair loss or support regrowth. The medicine and dose depend on diagnosis, sex, health, pregnancy considerations and risk profile.
UsesDoctor-prescribed medicine
Best discussed forDiagnosed pattern hair loss
MonitoringResponse and side effects
Benefits usually require continued use. Cardiovascular, sexual, reproductive, mood and other potential risks must be discussed for the medicine considered.
Side-by-side guide
QR678, PRP or medication?
This table is educational. Your recommendation should follow examination, relevant medical history and an informed discussion with the doctor.
| Option | What it uses | Potential role | Important limitations | Typical commitment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QR678 Neo | A prepared blend delivered through small scalp injections | Selected active follicles in non-scarring thinning | Evidence and protocols are less established; response varies | Usually discussed as a course with reassessment |
| PRP hair restoration | Platelet-rich fraction prepared from your own blood | Support for selected early to moderate pattern loss | Preparation systems vary; unsuitable for some blood or health conditions | A planned series may be followed by maintenance |
| Oral medication | Prescription medicine selected for the diagnosis | Slowing progression and supporting regrowth in suitable pattern loss | Possible systemic side effects and pregnancy-related restrictions | Regular use and ongoing monitoring are usually needed |
PRP or QR678 may be discussed when examination suggests active follicles and no contraindication.
Prescription treatment may address an ongoing driver and can sometimes form the foundation of a broader plan.
Investigation, scalp treatment or specialist referral may be more appropriate than starting a restoration package.
Combination care
More treatment is not automatically better.
A combination may be considered when different options have clear, complementary roles. It should still have a diagnosis, defined monitoring plan and stopping or review points.
- Medication plus a procedure
- PRP and QR678 sequencing
- Scalp-health treatment first

Which hair-loss treatment is best?
There is no single best treatment for every person. The most appropriate option depends on the cause, pattern, stage, active follicles, health history, risks, preferences and whether ongoing treatment is realistic.
Can PRP, QR678 and medication be combined?
Sometimes. A doctor may discuss a combination when the options have complementary roles and there is a clear monitoring plan. Combining treatments should not replace diagnosis or create unrealistic expectations.
How long before hair-loss treatment results can be assessed?
Hair cycles are slow. Reduced shedding may be noticed before visible density changes, and meaningful assessment generally takes several months. Consistent photographs and clinical review are more useful than daily observation.
Do hair-loss treatments work on completely bald areas?
Long-standing smooth bald areas or scarred follicles are less likely to respond to medicines or scalp injections. Examination helps determine whether active follicles remain and whether transplant or specialist assessment should be discussed.
Are blood tests always needed?
No. Tests are considered when the history or pattern suggests iron deficiency, thyroid disease, hormonal concerns, nutritional problems or another medical contributor. The doctor should explain why each test may be useful.
Is PRP better than QR678 Neo?
They use different sources of growth-related signals and their evidence bases differ. Neither is automatically better for every diagnosis. Suitability, limitations, cost of a course and maintenance should be compared during consultation.
Is hair-loss medication permanent?
Pattern hair loss is usually progressive. Benefits from medication generally depend on continued treatment, and hair loss may resume after stopping. Long-term use and possible side effects should be reviewed with the prescribing doctor.
Can women use hair-loss medication?
Some medicines may be considered for selected women, while others carry important pregnancy and reproductive restrictions. A doctor must review the diagnosis, health history and pregnancy plans before prescribing.
When should hair loss be referred to a dermatologist?
Sudden patchy loss, scalp pain, inflammation, pus, heavy scaling, eyebrow loss, scarring, diagnostic uncertainty or poor response may require dermatology investigation. Referral is part of responsible care, not a failure of treatment.
Can I begin with a private WhatsApp enquiry?
Yes. You can keep the first message brief and request a hair-loss assessment. Medical history and personal details can be discussed privately with the clinical team during your consultation.
