Alopecia Areata Treatment Options

alopecia areata treatments

While there’s currently no permanent cure, many treatments can help stimulate hair regrowth and control immune response.

Treatment depends on the severity and extent of hair loss:

1. Topical Corticosteroids
Anti-inflammatory creams or lotions that suppress the immune attack on hair follicles.

2. Intralesional Steroid Injections
Small injections of corticosteroids directly into the affected areas; effective for small patches.

3. Oral Medications
Systemic steroids or immunosuppressants may be prescribed in more severe cases.

4. Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Over-the-counter topical solution that may help speed up regrowth - this however, does not control the immune response

5. Hair Mesotherapy & Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Hair mesotherapy and PRP are clinic-based treatments to boost hair follicle growth.

6. Lifestyle Support
Stress management, diet optimization, and scalp care can support overall treatment response.
