A hair-raising news for men is that they bald four times more than women. Going
by the survey, the baldness begins at the 16-25 age group for men.
Such alarming facts were made known to the media in the interactive session got
up by Dr. Batras' Positive Health Clinic Pvt. Ltd (DBPHCPL) which opened its
fourth branch here yesterday. The branch is its 43rd in the world.
The company has introduced TRICHOSCAN, a sophisticated technology for scientific
analysis of hair problems, the first-of-its-kind in the country.
As the leaders in providing Hair Lossopathic treatment by introducing sophisticated
medical diagnostic equipment in their clinics, the new invention will help the
doctors measure the hair loss and prescribe treatment as per the need.
Dr Batra observed that hair loss in the 16-25 group has had a staggering
increase of 250 per cent in the last five years. 'Mental stress, unbalanced
diet, hereditary, scalp and thyroid disorders, use of wrong hair products are
the strong factors. Researches have shown that bald people are the least
favoured for sales and marketing jobs.'
Dwelling further, Dr Batra lamented that as per a recent German study, 41 per
cent of men got preference over 27 per cent of the balding ones for job
interviews.
In the view of Mukesh Batra, CMD, DBPHCPL, 'hair loss is a common complaint in
clinical dermatology.
The new technology is patient-friendly and inexpensive, providing patients with
precise information regarding the stage of hair loss and the rate of growth,
augmenting the efficacy of the treatment.'
Dr Akshay Batra, DMD, DBPHCPL, felt that ancient science will now be practised
through modern technology combating the challenge of taking specialised
cost-effective treatment to the masses with a personal touch.
