What Causes Alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss. The condition often presents as round, smooth bald patches on the scalp or other areas of the body. It can be triggered by genetics, immune system imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and gut health issues.

Treatment Options for Alopecia Areata
Immunotherapy & Immune-Regulating Therapies
These treatments aim to modulate the immune system, reducing its attack on hair follicles and minimizing future flare-ups.
Targeted Scalp Treatments
- Intralesional Steroid Injections: This localized treatment involves injecting corticosteroids directly into the affected bald patches. It reduces inflammation around the follicles and often promotes regrowth in small, defined areas.
- Advanced Regenerative Therapies:
Cutting-edge regenerative solutions support natural hair regrowth and cellular repair. These therapies are designed to improve scalp health, stimulate dormant follicles, and promote long-term hair restoration.
