Understanding Alopecia Areata!
HAIR & SCALP TREATMENTS
What is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in round patches, often the size of a quarter. The extent of hair loss varies; some people lose hair in a few spots, while others may lose more. It is also called the ‘Spot Baldness’.
Hair regrowth can take months or years, depending on the individual.
Types of Alopecia :
- Alopecia Areata – Patchy baldness that can occur on any part of the body, including the scalp, beard, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, ears and more.
- Alopecia Totalis – Complete loss of all hair on the scalp ,i.e, baldness.
- Alopecia Universalis – Total loss of all body hair, a rare condition.
What causes Alopecia Areata?
- Immune System abnormality – It is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own hair follicles, leading to hair loss. This abnormality targets hair follicles and disrupts normal hair growth.
- Genetic factors
Signs of Alopecia Areata :
- Patchy Hair Loss – Small, coin-sized bald patches on the scalp or other areas.
- Nail Changes – White patches or dots on the nails can be a sign.
- Widespread Hair Loss – In some cases, hair loss may spread beyond patches.
What Preventive Measures can be taken ?
- Maintain a healthy diet
- Proper hair care
- Avoid overuse of hair products
- Protect hair from dust and pollution
Treatment of Alopecia Areata :
- Medications – Corticosteroids and Minoxidil are used to suppress the immune system and promote hair growth under doctor supervision.
- Intralesional Corticosteroids – Monthly injections of corticosteroids help stimulate hair regrowth with minimal side effects. Our doctor administer corticosteroid injections directly into the affected bald areas. You’ll need to visit the clinic regularly for ongoing treatment.

Had a very good experience in pradhan clinic
Dr Ruchi and staff took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and make sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Their level of care and attention to detail truly stood out, and I felt I was in very capable hands.
I’m really happy with the skin treatment I received and impressed with the follow-up and support. It’s clear that patient care is their top priority. I highly recommend Pradhan Clinic to anyone looking for quality Skin & Hair care in a supportive and trustworthy setting.✨❤️
The ambiance of the centre was serene and inviting, instantly putting me at ease. Dr.Ruchi Pradhan was highly skilled and took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences before tailoring the treatment to meet my needs.
