Alopecia Areata Treatment in Pune
Round bald patches, treated with rejuvenation that builds on the hair that is returning.
In brief
Alopecia areata is hair loss in round, smooth bald patches on the scalp or beard. It happens when the body’s own defences act against the hair roots. At Shree Skin & Hair Clinic on Senapati Bapat Road, Pune, Dr. Nileema Shisode, M.D. (Ayurved), PGDCC, treats it with hair rejuvenation, which builds on the fine hairs that often begin to grow back at the centre of an early patch.
How it shows
One or more round patches appear, often suddenly. The skin of the patch looks normal and smooth. In an early patch, fine hairs are often seen growing back at the centre, and treatment aims to encourage them.
How it is treated
- Hair rejuvenation treatment at the clinic
- Internal medicine and applications for the patch
- Diet, and attention to stress and sleep
The plan is made after the doctor has examined the patches.
What to expect
Many patches regrow, and the new hair may be fine or pale at first. Alopecia areata can return, in the same place or another, so tell the doctor early if a new patch appears.
When more is needed
Patches that are spreading fast, loss of all scalp hair, or loss of eyebrows and lashes need a specialist’s assessment as well.
