Alopecia Treatment

 

Alopecia Treatment Services from Lucinda's.

Treatment for Alopecia Areata remains elusive and incomplete, despite extensive research in the area. No permanent therapy has as yet emerged nor is there total remission of the disease. There are some typical treatments done that are worth giving a try. Steroid Injection typically, a steroid solution of 0.1ml of triamcinolone acetomide is injected just below the epidermis with 30 gauges ½ inch or 1 inch needle and a 1ml tuberculine syringe, into the site. Several injections are made to cover the affected areas. The drug removes the confused immune cells so that the hair can grow again. If you are not too fond of needles you may also try this same type of treatment in a topical form, which is equally effective. If your follicle still remains there is possibility to regrow your hair with low light laser therapy. The cold wave laser will stimulate the scalp increasing micro-circulation of blood supply to the hair follicle. Hair follicles which are “dormant” but not dead may be revived. You can find out if your hair follicles are in fact living with a scalp analysis.

Alopecia areata is a highly unpredictable, autoimmune skin disease that affects males and females of all ages and races, but it often begins in childhood. This disease affects approximately 2% of the population, or about 4.5 million people in the United States alone. The exact cause of alopecia areata is unknown.
The first sign of alopecia areata is usually one or more small, round, smooth, bald patches on the scalp. Thereafter, the pattern of hair loss is unpredictable; initial bald patches can regrow hair and patches of hair loss can appear and disappear repeatedly. The disease can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).

Alopecia areata is not life-threatening, but affected individuals are more vulnerable to germs, dust, and other foreign particles entering the eyes, nose and ears. A person's age at the disease’s onset, their current age, and the length and extent of hair loss can determine what treatments might be effective. In general, the earlier, the longer, and the greater the hair loss, the less likely it is that treatments will be effective in stimulating regrowth. The search for a cure is ongoing.
