With a number of successful research projects now been conducted, the Center has enhanced its research facilities manifold with the introduction of advanced machines

• The Hair Trichometry Test – The Trichometry Test allows to track down information about patient’s hair growth by calculating an approximate overall average hair density, diameter, growth and shedding rates, based on diagnostic data available for a patient. This includes a comparison with the statistically established norms for a healthy individual, based on sex, age and racial variation for hair average criteria.
• The Sebumeter: The Sebumeter is another introduction that helps in the detection of the amount of sebum secreted by your skin. This helps create customized packages for skin. The TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) machine measures the water content and evaluates the moisture of the skin.
• The Dandruff Meter – The Dandruff Meter measures the extent of dandruff accumulated on scalp and what kind of shampoos will help eliminate it.
• The Gloss Meter -The Gloss Meter helps in the measurement of gloss which is essential in the efficacy testing of skin care, hair care and decorative cosmetics.

Speaking on the 4^th year anniversary and the launch of these machines, Dr. Premalatha V, Dermatosurgeon, Hairline International says, “The research center has been a strong supporting factor to the work that we do here at Hairline International. From being able to identify underlying causes of ailments to providing person-specific products in treatment and therapy, the research center has been a huge benefit. The latest machines that we now have will only help us enhance our efficiency”.

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) committee is in place to ensure that all relevant protocols are formulated and implemented. Studies are conducted by clinicians and record maintenance is handled by an independent department that also acts as a liaison between the 7 centers of Hairline International – to collect information and data.

A few successful research conducted by Hairline International Hair and Skin Research Center are –

• A 6 month study that found heightened levels of Bisphenol A, a common element found in plastic to be in the blood of patients suffering from hair and skin ailments.
• In a study it was found that 75% of IT professional who suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia also have hypertension, which can largely be attributed to their sedentary lifestyle
• Another study found that over 50% of hair transplant patients were in the 20-30 year age bracket and suffered hair loss from factors such as impure water and pollution.
• In a study conducted among the residents of RT Nagar, it was revealed that underground water had higher zinc levels in it. The intake of water with higher metal levels was found to be the cause of excessive hair loss noticed in the residents of the area.
• In a 6-month study conducted by the Hairline Research Centre on 100 patients of hair loss, it was concluded from an observation of eating habits that non-vegetarianism may be one of the causes for baldness.
• In a study it was found that 80% of the hair fall patients visiting the clinic were PFOA positive. This study highlighted the effects of Teflon that contains Perflurootanic Acid (PFOA), on hair fall.

With numerous research projects in the pipeline, Hairline International also works on occasion with external agencies such as Abbott on research projects. The idea is also to expand research capabilities to support major brands in the hair and skin treatment sector.

Kanakapura road: the new destination

Situated in the southern belt of Bangalore, Kanakapura road is witnessing a renewed thrust in demand for upcoming projects and residences, with developments on a massive scale starting to make their presence even before the ongoing work on the metro rail began. What is prompting this sudden surge?

The metro offers the element of good connectivity to the CBD along with the presence of the NICE road, interlinking Hosur and Electronic city on one side and Mysore road on the other. Kanakapura road has thus become a nodal point connecting Electronic City, Silk Board, and outer ring road; where most of the software firms are. This connectivity promotes easy access to each of the respective junctures especially with the metro rail coming in, which permits equal speed of transit to the rest of the city.

These transport factors, combined with the availability of land at relatively affordable rates, and the serene environment in this area, has contributed to making Kanakapura road very attractive, and is precisely the reason why the area is influencing the kind of growth spurt in activity that is happening today.

About two decades back, there was very little commercial activity in this region, due to its lack of connectivity to the city, and especially due to the lack of industrial activity and the IT sector which dominates most of the other predominant regions in Bangalore. Kanakapura road was then home to a number of farmhouses, rehabilitation centres, not to mention the massive Art of Living ashram which has had its presence since the early eighties.

Because of the availability of land in the area and the lush greenery, people would build weekend getaway homes, thus molding Kanakapura road into an area where people chose to sit back and relax, be with nature and get in touch with their spiritual side. Now, with other popular areas of Bangalore becoming too crowded and expensive, and Kanakapura road offering quick and efficient public transport, and with the recent development of the metro, it has become a natural progression to move away from an unaffordable CDB to areas that are better priced and offer better living conditions.

The presence of a high water table and availability of land parcels also triggered growth on this road, with the NICE road also contributing as a redeemer for all commutability factors. The absence of industries has only made the area more attractive, as the serene green surroundings are left preserved making it more habitable. Above all these factors, the emergence of the metro rail has stepped up the pace of growth. Property prices in Kanakapura road will soon witness an increase in rates close to 15 to 20 per cent over the next two years.

The traditional fabric of the area also compliments the rest of South Bangalore, triggering demand. One of the major attractions of the south is that some of the leading colleges and schools are situated in this region. It is also home to some of the best hospitals and medical care. The entertainment segment is also making a mark in this region, with some of the best traditional restaurants, making it attractive especially for the traditional residents of the city.

There are however concerns about this sudden influx of activity in Kanakapura road, and the surrounding areas of south Bangalore causing a strain on existing infrastructure. Whitefield witnessed similar issues in infrastructure after the massive developments that happened in its region. Coupled with this, the metro lines do not run through all the roads of South Bangalore which means the last mile connectivity is not effectively addressed.

This calls for active intervention on the part of the government where infrastructure concerns such as water, sewage, electricity are effectively addressed and the issue of last mile connectivity for the metro is also solved so that Kanakapura road does not face the same strains that Whitefield currently faces. Development and progress cannot be stopped but development needs to happen in a systematic planned manner so that past mistakes of other areas are not repeated.

Now, a Robot Will Assist a Surgeon in Hair Transplant at Hairline International

Bangalore, 03^rd, August 2017: Hairline International Hair and Skin Clinic has launched a novel means of  Hair Transplant at their clinic. Known as the Human Assisted Rapid Robotic Hair Transplant (HARRTS),  now a Robot will maximize hair transplant results manifold when compared to conventional methods of FUT, FUE and the combination technique. It also reduces the time frame in which a transplant takes place.

Explaining the functioning of the Robotic Hair Transplant system, ‘Dr. Dinesh G Gowda, Dermatosurgeon, Hairline International Hair and Skin Clinic says, “While the dermatosurgeon is the one who inputs required fields in terms of depth for extraction and implantation, number of follicles to be extracted as well as the area of implantation, it is the robot that accurately carries out the entire procedure’.

“The Robot It consists of a hand piece that is uniquely designed for speed, safety and accuracy. Placed close to the hand piece is the Cold Bio-Fluid Storage canister which ensures that the grafts have good survival rate in the cold storage safety punch. Each of the punches are uniquely designed for accurate depth control and the silicone covering over the step prevents rotational skin abrasion that is common. The implanter is the first of its kind in the world that implants grafts with and without a slit creation thereby avoiding any unnecessary incisions into the skin, oozing or the flooding of grafts, pop outs etc ensuring that the implantation time is reduced by half when compared to other methods of transplant”, adds Dr. Gowda.

Speaking on introducing Robotic Hair Transplant at Hairline International, Dr. Bani Anand, Founder and Managing Director, Hairline International Hair and Skin Clinic says, “We have seen that patients want procedures that are quick, minimally painful and non invasive which yield the best results. Robotic Hair Transplant ensures high levels of accuracy and results. In fact, considering the reduced number of personnel required to complete the procedure, the patient is much more at ease as well. The system also comes with an integrated cloud data management system which makes programing of depth for extraction and implantation easy and accurate”.

Robotic Hair Transplant ensures that the infection rate and bleeding is minimal as the procedure is extremely accurate in terms of depth and breadth of extraction or implantation of the hair. In fact, depth control can be pre-fixed using a calibrated computerized approach. The procedure ensures that there is minimal exposure of hair follicles to an external environment reducing dessication and depth the follicles and thus enhancing the results of a hair transplant.
