Hair loss and Hair fall is slowly becoming an epidemic. Many people seek treatment for hair loss & hair fall, as it may be a cosmetic embarrassment for them. Hair loss and hair fall is impacting job opportunities, relationships, mental well-being and self confidence. It is a disease that needs treatment. Hair loss can have an emotional impact, hence it is best to seek treatment if you are uncomfortable with your appearance.
Certain treatments are recommended for hair loss such as stem cell therapy, hair transplant etc. Apart from these, there is one more novel treatment available – QR 678 Hair Growth Factor injections. A lot has been written about this novel treatment in the newspapers. QR 678 is a novel molecule, invented post research in hair growth treatments, by Dr. Rinky Kapoor – a top/ best cosmetic dermatologist and hair expert in the world, and currently practicing in Mumbai, India and Dr. Debraj Shome. The QR 678 Injection treatment is more advanced and supposedly gives better results than stem cell and PRP treatment / therapy for hair loss and hair growth. While hair transplant (implant) & hair restoration surgery merely relocates hair, the QR 678 treatment / therapy actually grows hair and treats refractive male pattern baldness, hair loss in women, alopecia and androgenetic causes of hair fall.
All over the world there is a lot of research going on to develop a wonder drug to treat this problem of hair loss, though treatments from medications to surgery are currently available. However, not many benefit, sometimes they just don’t work, there are a large number of unfavorable results, some patients are not suitable for available therapies, cost is huge for hair transplant and hair restoration surgery, results are not long lasting, side effects are a concern, etc.
What exactly is the QR 678 Hair Growth Factor?
A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cellular growth, proliferation and cellular differentiation. Usually it is a protein which is present locally and causes growth of that particular tissue. Growth factors are important for regulating a variety of cellular processes & act by binding to specific receptors on the surface of their target cells.
A QR Code is a code used in medicine derived from “Quick Response“. 678 signifies “there is no answer”. The inventors told us that this molecule has been named QR 678 to signify a “Quick Response to a disease which earlier had no answer”!
The Times of India (India’s largest English newspaper) first reported, in a 1st page article, on the QR 678 Best Hair Treatment.
Mode of administration for QR 678 : For Patients suffering from hair loss, mesotherapy is performed with the QR 678 molecule which are patented growth factors, administered by tiny virtually painless injections in the scalp. Hair growth requires 5-8 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart each. Generally 1 ml of solution is injected per session, each session takes 15 minutes, no hospitalization is required, and each injection costs Rs. 6000 per ml of injection per session.
What to expect post treatment?
The inventors are clear that QR 678 will NOT necessarily work in everyone. This works apparently only when at least a few hair follicles are available in the areas injected. These hair follicles may be quiescent and not very healthy, they may even be microscopic and NOT visible to naked eye examination, BUT they need to be there! Hence, first the scalp skin is examined with a magnifier to see if some hair follicles are available and only then is treatment recommended. Results generally are 80 % regrowth or more depending on the extent of the problem. Improvement starts after 4 sessions.
QR 678 will work prior to or after a hair transplant, if you are considering one. The QR 678 will certainly reduce the possibility of Hair transplants in a substantial population of moderate hair loss.
This revolutionary treatment is being considered for presentations and publications in the scientific community world-wide and is currently awaiting a world-wide patent – A patent in India has apparently already been awarded! Now, folks all over the world can have a ‘hair raising’ tale to tell!
