What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss, which can occur on the scalp or anywhere on the body. It ranges from small, patchy bald spots (alopecia areata) to complete loss of hair on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or entire body (alopecia universalis). At Ojas Clinic, we understand the emotional toll of alopecia and offer evidence-based treatments tailored to each type and stage.
Common Types of Alopecia We Treat:
- Alopecia Areata: Patchy hair loss caused by autoimmune response; often sudden onset.
- Androgenetic Alopecia: Male/female pattern baldness – genetic and hormonal.
- Scarring Alopecia (Cicatricial): Inflammatory conditions that destroy follicles (e.g., lichen planopilaris).
- Telogen Effluvium: Temporary shedding due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
- Traction Alopecia: Hair loss from prolonged pulling (tight hairstyles).
Personalized Alopecia Care
We combine advanced diagnostics (trichoscopy, blood work) with a multi-modal approach: topical immunotherapy, corticosteroids, and PRP to halt progression and stimulate regrowth.
Our Approach to Alopecia
At Ojas Skin & Hair Clinic, we begin with a thorough assessment including scalp dermoscopy and necessary blood investigations to identify the root cause. For chronic pattern hair loss, we combine PRP with medical therapy. Our goal is not just to regrow hair but to manage the condition long-term and boost your confidence.
Frequently asked questions
Not always. In many cases, hair regrows spontaneously within a year. However, recurrences are common.
While some forms like telogen effluvium resolve on their own, autoimmune alopecias (areata) can be controlled but may flare again. Our focus is on effective management, minimizing progression, and maximizing regrowth.
