Overview

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in patches on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. While the exact cause remains unknown, it’s believed that the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden and unpredictable hair loss. At Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic, we understand the emotional toll alopecia areata can take. We offer a range of effective treatment options to help you manage hair loss and regain confidence.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Alopecia Areata?

The primary symptom of alopecia areata is the appearance of smooth, round patches of hair loss on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. These patches can vary in size, and hair loss can be sudden or gradual. In some cases, complete hair loss on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or the entire body (alopecia universalis) can occur.

Treatment Options for Alopecia Areata at Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic:

Unfortunately, there is no cure for alopecia areata. However, several treatment options can help stimulate hair growth and promote overall scalp health.

  • Topical Treatments:

    • Corticosteroids: These topical creams or injections can help suppress the immune system’s attack on hair follicles and promote hair regrowth.
    • Minoxidil (Rogaine): This topical medication can stimulate hair growth in some cases.
  • Immunomodulators: These medications regulate the immune system and may help promote hair growth.

  • Phototherapy: Ultraviolet light therapy can be used to stimulate hair growth and suppress the immune system response.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: This treatment involves injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the scalp. The growth factors in platelets may stimulate hair regrowth.

I had consulted Dr.Abhijna Rai at Dr Rai's skin and hair clinic. Dr.Rai is very professional, calm and must say, has lots of patience. She listens intently about the issue and situation. The treatment worked and there is drastic improvement in my skin issues. Compared to previous doctors, she did not put me through multiple treatments and seems to genuinely care for the patients. The clinic also has ample parking space in the basement which is very convenient. Thank you doctor and I would strongly recommend you to all my friends and family for any skin & hair related issues.
