Understanding Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss, often in small, round patches on the scalp. In some cases, it can lead to total hair loss on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or the entire body (alopecia universalis). The exact cause of alopecia areata is still unknown, but it is believed to be a result of the immune system mistakenly attacking the hair follicles.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
At The Skin Sense Clinic, we offer a range of comprehensive treatment options for alopecia areata:
1. Corticosteroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment for alopecia areata. These injections are administered directly into the affected areas of the scalp to reduce inflammation and stimulate hair regrowth. Our dermatologists have extensive experience in performing this procedure, ensuring optimal results and minimal discomfort.
2. Topical Immunotherapy: Topical immunotherapy involves applying a sensitizing solution to the scalp to provoke an allergic reaction. This reaction helps to redirect the immune system’s response away from the hair follicles. Over time, this treatment can stimulate hair regrowth in the affected areas.
3. Microneedling with Growth Factors: Microneedling is a procedure that creates tiny microchannels in the scalp, allowing for better absorption of topical treatments. Our dermatologists may combine microneedling with the application of growth factors to promote hair regrowth and improve the overall health of the scalp.
4. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair regrowth.
5. Supportive Therapies: Our dermatologists recognize the emotional impact of alopecia areata and the importance of providing comprehensive support. We offer counseling services and support groups to help individuals cope with the emotional challenges of hair loss, fostering a positive and empowering environment.
