Alopecia Treatment

FAQs about Alopecia

1. What is alopecia? How far can the condition improve after the treatment?

Alopecia areata is considered as autoimmune disease, in which the immune system, which is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. The follicles are the tiny cup-shaped structures from which hair grow. Alopecia condition can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere in patches or as total loss. The affected hair follicles become small and drastically slow down hair production. Where the skin is still raw it can be fortunately presumed that the stem cells, that continually support the follicle, do not seem to be damaged. So the follicle always has the potential to respond to the appropriate treatment and regrow hair.

2. What do you mean by Holistic treatment for Hair loss?
Holistic care means the care for the whole person that is his mind, body and spirit and not the disease/ problem/ symptoms alone. Holistic system believes that the whole person is made up of independent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances physical, mental, emotional or spiritual in their lives it can negatively affect their overall skin and hair. Holistic treatment would thus not only remove the symptoms along with the underlying cause of your problem / disease but would then also maintain your overall well being.

Treatment cost will depend on the procedures recommended by the doctor taking the consultation. Recommended procedures depend on the nature of the problem and certain individual factors. Cost of some of the treatments & procedures for reference is mentioned in the following table:

In alopecia areata, immune system cells called white blood cells attack the rapidly growing cells in the hair follicles that make the hair. The affected hair follicles become small and drastically slow down hair production. Fortunately, the stem cells that continually supply the follicle with new cells do not seem to be targeted. So the follicle always has the potential to re grow hair.

Alopecia areata is characterized by smooth, circular patches of lost hair.Alopecia totalis is alopecia that results in total hair loss on the scalp, and alopecia universalis is alopecia that results in hair loss of the entire body, including eyelashes and eyebrows.
