Alopecia Areata Treatment
Alopecia Areata Treatment
At Hawaii Dermatology & Surgery, we offer compassionate, advanced care for alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss on the scalp or body. Our experienced dermatologist provides accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment to help promote regrowth and restore your confidence.
What Is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia areata occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, resulting in patchy hair loss. This condition can affect people of all ages and may appear on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or other areas of the body. While unpredictable, it can often be managed with the right treatment approach.
What Causes Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata develops when the immune system targets hair follicles, interrupting their natural growth cycle. At Hawaii Dermatology & Surgery, our dermatologist uses advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based therapies—such as corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, and growth stimulation treatments—to calm inflammation and encourage new hair growth.
Conditions Treated with Alopecia Care
We treat all forms and severities of autoimmune-related hair loss, including:
- Patchy alopecia areata (localized hair loss)
- Alopecia totalis (complete scalp hair loss)
- Alopecia universalis (loss of all body hair)
- Beard and eyebrow alopecia
- Hair loss linked to autoimmune or inflammatory disorders
