Alopecia Areata Treatment
Regrow Confidence, One Patch at a Time
What Is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune hair loss disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles, causing sudden patchy hair loss on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or other body parts. It can affect any age or gender, and may appear once or recur in episodes.
At Dermosphere Clinic, we offer specialist-led alopecia areata treatments focused on stopping progression, stimulating regrowth, and preventing recurrence — all while supporting your emotional wellbeing during the journey.
Signs & Symptoms of Alopecia Areata
• Sudden round or oval patches of baldness
• Smooth, hairless skin in affected areas
• Tingling or itching in the patch before hair falls
• Beard alopecia or patchy eyebrow thinning
• Sometimes nail pitting or ridging
• In severe cases: total scalp hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) or full body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis)
Common Triggers
• Autoimmune response
• Genetic predisposition
• Stress or illness
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Thyroid dysfunction or PCOS
• Post-COVID or post-vaccination immune shifts (in some cases)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can alopecia areata be cured permanently?
There’s no permanent cure yet, but with early treatment, most patients experience full or partial regrowth.
2. Will it spread to my whole scalp or body?
In most people, it stays localized. But early treatment helps prevent spread and severe forms like alopecia totalis.
3. Does stress cause alopecia areata?
Yes, stress is a major trigger. We often include stress management and lifestyle tips in the recovery plan.
4. How long will it take to regrow hair?
Results are seen in 4–8 weeks for most small patches. Larger or resistant cases may need multiple sessions over months.
