IV Hair Boosters in Thane — Intravenous Micronutrient Infusion for Hair Loss at ROOTS RESTORE
Most hair loss patients focus on what they apply to their scalp. Very few address the nutritional deficiencies happening inside their body that are silently driving that hair loss every single day. IV Hair Therapy changes that.
At ROOTS RESTORE in Vasant Vihar, Thane West, Dr. Prratyush More offers medically supervised IV Hair Therapy — intravenous micronutrient infusion specifically formulated for hair loss patients. Board-certified dermatologist, trained under internationally recognised hair restoration expert Dr. Alex Ginzburg (Israel), Dr. More combines IV therapy with the diagnostic rigour to identify which specific deficiencies are driving your hair loss before a single drop is infused. This is not a wellness spa drip. This is clinical nutritional correction, administered under medical supervision, designed to address the root cause of hair loss at the cellular level.
What Is IV Hair Therapy?
IV Hair Therapy is the direct intravenous delivery of a customised blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants formulated specifically to correct the nutritional deficiencies that drive hair loss. Unlike oral supplements, which are absorbed at 20 to 30% efficiency through the gastrointestinal tract, IV administration delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream at 100% bioavailability — reaching follicle cells at therapeutic concentrations that oral supplementation simply cannot replicate.
Hair follicles are among the most metabolically active cells in the human body. They require a continuous, adequate supply of iron, biotin, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, selenium, amino acids, and antioxidants to function at full capacity. When even one is deficient, the follicle enters a premature resting phase, producing thinner, weaker strands before stopping growth entirely. IV Hair Therapy at ROOTS RESTORE is not a one-size-fits-all wellness drip — it is a clinically tailored infusion protocol based on your specific blood work, hair loss pattern, and nutritional status, reviewed and supervised personally by Dr. Prratyush More at every session.
Who Needs IV Hair Therapy? Common Nutritional Causes of Hair Loss
Nutritional deficiencies are an underdiagnosed and underestimated driver of hair loss, particularly in urban populations with high-stress lifestyles, restrictive diets, or gastrointestinal absorption issues. The most common deficiencies Dr. More identifies and corrects with IV Hair Therapy at ROOTS RESTORE:
- Iron and ferritin deficiency: The leading nutritional cause of diffuse hair loss in Indian women. Even mildly low ferritin (<30 ng/mL) can trigger significant telogen effluvium without any anaemia being present
- Vitamin B12 deficiency: Extremely prevalent in vegetarians and vegans. Causes diffuse shedding, premature greying, and impaired follicle cell division. Oral B12 absorption is frequently inadequate even with high-dose supplements
- Vitamin D deficiency: Directly linked to follicle cycling regulation. Low vitamin D is now documented in multiple studies as an independent risk factor for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata
- Zinc deficiency: Zinc is essential for follicle matrix cell proliferation. Deficiency causes brittle hair, rapid shedding, and poor response to other hair loss treatments including Minoxidil
- Biotin deficiency: While rare in isolation, is common in patients on long-term antibiotics, certain anticonvulsants, or with gut dysbiosis. Leads to brittle, thin hair and impaired keratinisation
- Amino acid depletion: High-stress lifestyles, post-illness recovery, crash diets, and post-bariatric surgery patients frequently present with depleted cysteine, methionine, and lysine — the structural building blocks of the hair shaft
- Antioxidant depletion (oxidative stress): Elevated free radical activity in the scalp damages follicle cells, accelerates miniaturisation, and worsens the inflammatory environment in androgenetic alopecia
Dr. More orders a comprehensive nutritional and hormonal blood panel before your first IV Hair Therapy session. Treatment is built entirely around your specific deficiency profile — not a pre-packaged formula.
What Does IV Hair Therapy Contain? Key Ingredients and Their Role in Hair Growth
High-Dose Iron + Vitamin C Complex
Rapidly replenishes ferritin stores and corrects iron-deficiency-driven telogen effluvium. Vitamin C co-administration maximises iron absorption and bioavailability at the follicle level.
Methylcobalamin (Active B12)
The active, neurologically effective form of B12 delivered at concentrations impossible to achieve orally. Restores follicle cell division capacity and reverses B12-deficiency shedding and greying.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
IV Vitamin D3 bypasses the common absorption failures seen with oral supplementation in patients with gut issues, obesity, or poor sun exposure. Directly supports follicle cycling and anagen re-entry.
Zinc Sulphate
Replenishes zinc at therapeutic concentrations that oral zinc supplements frequently fail to achieve, particularly in patients with gut malabsorption. Essential for follicle matrix cell proliferation and keratin synthesis.
Biotin (High-Dose IV)
IV biotin delivers concentrations 100x higher than oral tablets, directly supporting the keratinisation process and strengthening the structural integrity of the hair shaft.
Amino Acid Complex (L-Cysteine, L-Methionine, L-Lysine)
The sulphur-rich amino acids that form the structural backbone of keratin. Critically important for post-illness, post-surgical, high-stress, and crash-diet patients with severe hair shaft thinning and breakage.
Glutathione + NAC (Antioxidant Complex)
Master antioxidant infusion that neutralises scalp oxidative stress, reduces the pro-inflammatory DHT microenvironment in androgenetic alopecia, and protects follicle cells from further damage.

The IV Hair Therapy Procedure at ROOTS RESTORE, Step by Step
Consultation, Blood Panel, and Nutritional Assessment
Dr. Prratyush More reviews your hair loss history, dietary patterns, medications, and gastrointestinal health. A comprehensive blood panel is ordered: ferritin, B12, vitamin D, zinc, folate, thyroid panel, hormonal profile, and CBC. IV Hair Therapy is never prescribed without this workup.
Results Review and Custom Infusion Design
Blood results are reviewed with you in detail. Dr. More explains exactly which deficiencies are present, at what severity, and how IV therapy will correct them. Your custom infusion formula is formulated around your specific results — not a pre-packaged drip.
IV Cannulation and Infusion
IV cannula placed in a peripheral vein under sterile conditions. The customised nutrient infusion runs over 45 to 90 minutes. You remain comfortable and alert throughout — you can read, use your phone, or rest. Most patients experience no discomfort beyond a mild sensation at the cannula site.
Post-Infusion Monitoring
You are monitored for 15 to 20 minutes post-infusion before discharge. Aftercare guidance provided. Most patients return to full normal activity immediately. Mild fatigue or a warm sensation during infusion is normal and transient.
Protocol Review and Progress Assessment
A follow-up blood panel is ordered after the initial course (typically 4 to 6 sessions) to confirm nutritional correction. Dr. More reviews your hair loss trajectory, adjusts the infusion formula if needed, and integrates IV therapy with your ongoing GFC, Dermapen 4, or medical hair loss management protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions: IV Hair Therapy in Thane
Is IV Hair Therapy safe?
Yes. IV micronutrient therapy administered under medical supervision in a sterile facility using pharmaceutical-grade nutrients is a well-established clinical practice. Dr. Prratyush More personally supervises every session and takes a full medical history before prescribing any infusion.
Is IV Hair Therapy painful?
The IV cannula insertion causes a brief, mild pinch. Once the cannula is in place, the infusion itself is completely painless. Most patients use their phone, read, or rest comfortably during the 45 to 90 minute session.
How many sessions will I need to see results for hair loss?
Most patients with iron, B12, or vitamin D deficiency notice reduced shedding within 3 to 4 sessions. Visible hair density improvement is typically apparent after 6 to 8 weeks of completing the initial course. Results are faster when IV therapy is combined with GFC therapy or Dermapen 4.
Can IV Hair Therapy replace a hair transplant?
No. IV Hair Therapy corrects nutritional deficiencies that drive hair loss and supports existing follicle health. It cannot restore hair in areas where follicles are permanently lost. For significant balding, FUE hair transplant remains the definitive solution. IV therapy is excellent as a pre-transplant optimiser or post-transplant recovery support.
Who is NOT a good candidate for IV Hair Therapy?
Patients with kidney disease, certain heart conditions, or known allergies to specific nutrients require careful medical evaluation before IV therapy. Dr. More assesses your full medical history before prescribing any infusion. Patients with mild deficiencies correctable with diet and oral supplements may not require IV therapy at all.
Can IV Hair Therapy be combined with GFC or PRP at ROOTS RESTORE?
Yes, and this combination is frequently recommended. IV therapy corrects systemic deficiencies while GFC or PRP addresses the local scalp growth factor environment. Together they create optimal conditions for both native hair preservation and graft survival post-transplant.
How is IV Hair Therapy at ROOTS RESTORE different from wellness drips at spas?
The critical differences are diagnosis, customisation, and medical supervision. At ROOTS RESTORE, IV therapy is prescribed based on your specific blood results by a board-certified dermatologist. Spa IV drips use generic formulas without pre-treatment testing, without medical supervision, and without clinical follow-up. On the scalp and in hair follicle biology, these distinctions matter significantly.
Will IV Hair Therapy help with telogen effluvium caused by COVID or stress?
Yes, particularly when post-COVID or stress-related shedding is accompanied by nutritional depletion — which it frequently is. IV therapy rapidly replenishes the nutrient stores depleted by chronic illness, prolonged stress, and poor intake, shortening the telogen effluvium recovery window significantly when combined with other appropriate therapies.
