Hair Loss or commonly known as Androgenic Alopecia has become a major concern for men and women alike, especially in the age group of 25 and above. Many doctors, clinicians, and cosmetologists have been investigating this problem for quite some time.
While non-surgical hair regrowth treatments like over-the-counter topical minoxidil, prescription oral finasteride, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and light and laser therapy treatments help reduce hair fall when used in combination, they sometimes leave adverse side effects.
However, Dr Debraj Shome has invented a new solution to hair loss with a natural, proven, and non-invasive approach. QR 678® is a proprietary, first-in-class hair fall and hair regrowth therapy, which has revolutionized the treatment of hair fall.
Breakthrough discovery in treating hair loss by Dr Debraj Shome
The therapy was invented by Dr Debraj Shome who is a Clinical Scientist and Leader of the R&D Team, QR 678®, and Dr. Rinky Kapoor. Dr Debraj Shome and DR Rinky Kapoor are celebrity cosmetic surgeons from India and co-founders of The Esthetic Clinics which is a chain of world-class dermatology and plastic surgery centers located in various cities in India.
While conducting the research, they observed that male pattern baldness, known as Androgenic Alopecia characterized by progressive hair loss in men is growing at a rampant rate of 58% aged 30-50 years which initiated their urge to research and find a solution to this cosmetic issue leading to the invention of QR 678®.
The therapy helps to curb hair fall and increase the thickness, number and density of existing hair follicles, offering greater hair coverage to the ones with Alopecia. They also ran comparative trials between the QR 678® and PRP treatments with QR 678®treatment causing almost 300% better results than the PRP. The therapy also increases the uptake of traditional hair transplants by 50 per cent.
How does the treatment work?
Different types of hair-regrowth treatments available in the market have many limitations and they cannot revive hair beyond a certain stage.
QR 678® hair therapy is a process where growth factors are injected into the hair follicles, which not only arrests hair fall but also stimulates hair growth. QR 678® is a non-surgical, pain-free, and non-invasive procedure for hair regrowth treatment which has shown very good results in over 1,00,000+ patients.
The QR 678® growth factor therapy has been awarded the prestigious composition and mechanism of administration patent from the United States of America in 2017 and the Indian FDA approved commercial manufacturing and sale in March 2019. The therapy is also FDA-approved in the EU, UK, and Kuwait and is pending approvals in several other countries. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval means its effectiveness and efficacy have been reviewed by the CDER.
QR 678® helps to fight Covid related hair fall
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in the number of temporary reversible hair loss cases in post-Covid patients due to physical and emotional stress. Hair fall post Covid usually begins two or three months after the patient has recovered from it. The noticeable hair loss usually starts after almost 55 days post-recovery.
Hair loss happens due to fever because of infection, diet changes, stress due to isolation, and stress-related factors. This hair loss is known as Telogen Effluvium. This condition is a temporary form of hair loss and is often seen in Covid patients because of the shock that the body sustains resulting from fever and other symptoms.
Problems such as hair loss are fast emerging as one of the common side-effects of this pandemic, With just four sessions of the QR 678®therapy, there is an increase in the density of existing hair follicles, offering significant coverage to the ones with hair loss. This research study has also been published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
Mechanism of the therapy explained
- Signals that are passed between the upper and lower layers of skin trigger the growth of hair follicles. The 3 stages of hair follicle development are Anagen (growth), Catagen (dormancy), and Telogen (shedding). Extending the anagen phase helps in hair development, and growth factors pass the signal to do just that. Growth factors tell the dermal papilla cells to start growing or trigger the anagen phase & QR 678® is a special preparation of those growth factors that send this message across with precision.
- This process is facilitated by Mesotherapy which is carried out with the patented QR 678® molecules. These molecules are branded development elements used for pain-free administration into the scalp. Growth of hair needs 5-8 sessions dispersed 2-3 weeks aside each. Usually, 1 ml of solution is inserted per sitting, each sitting requires 15 mins, no medical center stay is needed, and every session costs approximately Rs. 7000.
- This form of hair treatment is a mixture of natural growth factors already present in the scalp, and therefore it is entirely safe to use on everybody. It has the right concentration of specific hair growth factors, does not have any side effects, is performed as an outpatient procedure, and the results are visible within eight weeks of starting the treatment.
- The therapy curbs hair fall and increases the thickness, the number, and density of existing hair follicles, offering greater hair coverage to people with Alopecia or male pattern baldness & female pattern hair loss.
- The QR 678 ® therapy has also demonstrated encouraging results in post-chemotherapy-induced hair loss, treatment of hair conditions like seborrheic dermatitis & immunogenic diseases like alopecia areata.
