Nalam Hospital - A Multispeciality Diabetes Hospital

Pricing Guide
Specialized Hair Consultation & Trichoscopy
Clinical Analysis
- Visual Assessment: Norwood scale (men) or Ludwig scale (women) pattern grading.
- Trichoscopy: Use of a dermoscope lens to examine follicle density, shaft thickness, and scalp health.
- History Review: Audit of protein intake, stress factors, and differentiation between hormonal loss and stress related shedding.
Treatment Roadmap
- Viability Check: Assessment of whether follicles are active for regrowth or if scarring has occurred.
- Prescription: Custom plan including Minoxidil concentration (2% vs 5%) and oral supplements if deficient.
- Product Audit: Guidance on stopping harmful oils or serums currently in use.
GFC Hair Restoration (Growth Factor Concentrate)
Procedure Protocol
- Preparation: Extraction of 10-15ml blood using specialized kits to isolate pure Growth Factors.
- Purity: Uses acellular concentrate (transparent liquid) which reduces inflammation compared to traditional PRP.
- Pain Management: Application of topical numbing cream for 20-30 minutes prior to procedure.
- Injection: Systematic micro-injections at the follicle level administered by the dermatologist.
Standards & Safety
- Session Strategy: Typically limited to a protocol of 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
- Hygiene: Clinical grade sterilization to prevent scalp infections.
- Post Care: Instructions on managing mild tenderness and hair washing timelines.
Standard PRP Therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Procedure Details
- Processing: Centrifugation of patient blood to separate plasma rich in platelets.
- Composition: Contains cellular components which may cause slightly more inflammation or swelling than GFC.
- Pain Management: Use of numbing cream and vibration devices to manage injection discomfort.
Treatment Scope
- Frequency: Recommended every 4 weeks based on biological response.
- Variability: Results depend heavily on individual biology compared to the consistency of concentrated growth factors.
- Safety: Performed in a sterile clinical environment.
About Hair Loss & Restoration Treatments
Hair Loss: Let's Cut the Drama
I see folks trying viral oils, homemade masks, and whatever their paati (grandma) swears by. Ippadi pannina eppadi? (How can you do this?) Your hair needs more than wishful thinking. I’m here to give you the real deal - no marketing, just science.
Diagnosis First, Treatment Later
Before anything, finding out why your hair is falling is romba mukkiyam (very important). Genetics, hormones, deficiencies – let’s not guess.
My Approach: Advanced Therapies & No Nonsense
- I use Growth Factor Concentrate for hair regrowth (GFC) - less pain, faster results, and I only recommend what your scalp actually needs.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma hair therapy (PRP) is older, sometimes works, but can sting and is less predictable.
- No jumbo packages here. Max six sessions, each a month apart. Overdoing can backfire - follicles get stressed, sometimes permanently.
The Medicated Route
- Minoxidil hair loss treatment works for many, but patience is key. First few months, expect shedding. Results take time – a year is normal.
- If Minoxidil isn’t enough, sometimes I add Tretinoin to help it work better. Not a DIY – dermatologist supervision only.
Surgical Path
If nothing else works, I also do hair transplant consultation. It’s not for everyone, but for the right person, it’s a game changer.
Straight Talk
Stop guessing, stop abusing your scalp. Let’s get you a science-backed plan. Okay, vaanga! (Come, let’s do this.)

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Vandhana Manoharan. Lot of folks ask, ‘Yen indha videos-laam pannuringa?’ (Why all these videos?). Honestly, seeing people damage their skin with YouTube hacks hurts. One patient came with breakouts after using milk powder and coffee on her face. I’m here to clear the ‘uruttu’ (bluffs) and keep it real. Outside clinic, I’m just another Bangalorean stuck in traffic, loving jamun, sometimes blanking out on camera. Skin care isn’t kitchen magic – it’s science.
My Work
Consultations for Skin & Hair - I help with everything – acne, scars, pigmentation, GFC hair loss treatment, MNRF acne scar procedure, Botox, pre-bridal skin routines.
Strictly Science, No Bluffs - I use only proven, medical treatments. No DIY hacks, no influencer trends. What works is what I’ll tell you.
Diagnosis First, Google Later - Get the right diagnosis from a real dermatologist. Steroid creams and random products can mess things up.
Skin Needs Patience - No overnight miracles. Treatments like minoxidil or anti-aging solutions need time and consistency.
I Explain Everything - I’ll break down the science, so you know why you’re using something. Understanding is key for real, lasting results.
