Trichotillomania – Overview | Dr Batra’s™ Homeopathy in Dubai
                     Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a condition that causes hair loss in patches. In this condition, the hair does not fall out on 
its  own, but is pulled out by the patient in response to some emotional stress. It is a type of impulse 
disorder. Just  as some people have a tendency to bite their fingernails or pick their skin when stressed, 
patients of  trichotillomania end up pulling their own hair out.

Treatment approach at Dr Batra’s™ for Trichotillomania
Treatment approach at Dr Batra’s™
Step 1: First Consultation – At your first consultation our doctors will spend 30-45 minutes with you. The questions 
asked extend  well beyond the immediate problem or physical symptoms, and take into account your medical 
history, lifestyle, prevalence of hair  loss in your family and any other stress factors that can lead to hair loss. The 
information provided is vital for us to understand the  root cause of your hair loss and suggest customized 
treatment that best suits your problem.
Step 2: Medical Diagnosis – Our doctors conduct non-invasive video-microscopy test, which magnifies the hair 
follicle and scalp up  to 200 times. It helps us identify the condition & thickness of hair strands, density of hair on 
the scalp as well as condition of your  scalp. If required blood tests are recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Step 3: Personalized Treatment - Natural homeopathic medicines are suggested based on cause and 
extent of your hair
loss.
Benefits of Homeopathy
● Treatment with medicines made from natural sources like plants and minerals
● Customized for every patient
● Effectively treats the underlying cause of hair loss
● Helps increase volume and density of hair

Step 4: Supplementary Treatment – Hair vitalizing treatment (HVT) is recommended as a supplementary 
treatment to  make your hair strong and regain vitality. Number of sessions will be recommended by 
your Doctor based on type and  extent of your hair loss.
Benefits of Hair Vitalizing Treatment (HVT)

mental health disorder, and it's  unlikely to get better without treatment.
