Alopecia areata is a medical condition that causes sudden hair loss, typically in small, round patches. It happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing them to shrink and stop producing hair. While it most commonly affects the scalp, it can also impact eyebrows, eyelashes, and other body hair. At Embrace Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists provide targeted treatments to help slow hair loss and encourage regrowth.
Treatment
At Embrace Dermatology, we create personalized treatment plans to help patients manage hair loss and promote regrowth.
Early treatment can increase the chances of regrowth, so seeking care as soon as symptoms appear is essential. Options may include:
Prescription creams or foams that reduce inflammation in the scalp and encourage hair regrowth.
Direct injections into affected areas to help restart the hair growth process.
Systemic treatments that regulate the immune response in cases of widespread hair loss.
A procedure that uses the patient’s own blood platelets to stimulate hair follicle activity and improve hair density.
Management
With a comprehensive approach, many patients see noticeable improvements in hair growth and retention.
Alopecia areata is an unpredictable condition, but ongoing care can help maintain hair growth and reduce future hair loss. Our dermatologists recommend:
