Are you a young man struggling with hair fall and constantly bombarded with ads on Instagram? The overwhelming options can be confusing, leaving you unsure about what’s effective and safe. In this video, Dr. Aniketh Venkataram, a plastic surgeon at Venkat Center Bangalore emphasises the critical importance of consulting a trained doctor for your healthcare needs, especially when it comes to hair fall treatments. He sheds light on how these ads can mislead you if you’re not careful.
Dr. Aniketh Venkataram discusses a shocking claim in a recent advertisement, stressing that Minoxidil is one of the only three FDA-approved medications for hair fall, and it is the cornerstone of effective treatment. He strongly criticises the irresponsible promotion of products with exaggerated claims just to boost sales.
Moreover, the doctor clarifies that Minoxidil is approved for use in its lotion form, not orally. Originally developed as a blood pressure medication, it was later found to promote hair growth when applied topically. The doctor advises that before considering Minoxidil tablets, which are used only in rare cases, it’s crucial to check your blood pressure due to potential risks.
Remember, companies are primarily focused on selling their products, often without considering your individual health needs or potential side effects. It’s vital to consult a qualified doctor preferably a plastic surgeon or dermatologist experienced in hair fall treatments rather than relying on Instagram ads or other social media promotions. Every patient’s needs are unique, and the right medication varies.
Stay safe, do your research, and most importantly, trust trained medical professionals for your healthcare concerns. Thank you for watching, and take care!
