About Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that can cause sudden round patches of hair loss, and in some cases more extensive involvement. Early diagnosis and an individualised plan help guide treatment choices.

Why choose this treatment

Our approach to care

  • Clinical diagnosis with trichoscopic assessment
  • Individualised topical, injectable, or systemic options when appropriate
  • Monitoring of activity and regrowth
  • Supportive counselling for patients and families

Suitability and expected outcomes are determined after clinical assessment. Outcomes vary according to diagnosis and individual response.

With early diagnosis and an individualised treatment plan, many patients can achieve meaningful regrowth; however, response and long-term course vary between patients.

Paediatric cases are managed with age-appropriate protocols — see also our dedicated children’s alopecia areata care page.
