Alopecia Treatment

Alopecia Areata is a type of hair loss that occurs due to an autoimmune disorder. In this condition, the body’s immune system mistakenly identifies hair follicles as foreign invaders and attacks them, leading to disruption in the normal hair growth cycle. As a consequence, patchy bald spots, typically circular in shape, develop on the scalp.

Furthermore, Alopecia Areata can also lead to facial hair loss in individuals of all genders. This means that individuals may experience patchy or complete loss of facial hair, including beard and eyebrows.

Hair growth in alopecia areata patients is unpredictable, but when early detected and treated, hair growth can be expected within a year. The various forms of Alopecia Areata Treatment at Skkinsenz include;
