Alopecia areata is a persistent, non-scarring kind of hair loss that can appear in a variety of patterns and can affect any portion of the body that produces hair.
Although most of the patients are asymptomatic, it can cause emotional and psychosocial distress.
Alopecia areata occurs when white blood cells attack the cells in hair follicles and slow down hair production.
Alopecia can be temporary or permanent and can affect your scalp or your entire body.
If you have a close family member who has alopecia areata, you are more likely to get the disease yourself.
One in five individuals who have the disease has a family member who also has Alopecia areata.
Extreme stress may trigger this condition, but most current research points to a hereditary basis.
In Alopecia areata, the hair normally sheds in small, round patches, but in certain cases, the amount of hair loss is more. Most people with the disease are healthy and have no other symptoms.
To stop alopecia areata from spreading you can opt for hair transplant. New Roots Hair Transplant Clinic is the best hair transplant clinic in India.

Many alopecia patients don’t respond to medical treatments. Patients have to face social phobia, and their quality of life is compromised.
In the case of minor patches, the problem is usually resolved and the hair regrows.
Hair transplant in alopecia is to be considered only in cases where patients have undergone medical treatment first, which includes topical immunomodulators, anti-TNF biological agents, growth factors, etc.
The alopecia patch should be stable and not increasing.
The patient should be aware of the facts about the nature of alopecia areata, as it may recur in the future in the same or another area.
If the alopecia patch is bigger or in multiple locations, what we do is do a patch test of 100 grafts and wait for 5 months. It gives assurance of results without future failures.
If the area affected by alopecia remains small and unchanged for a longer period of time, then he should be advised to have a scalp biopsy.
Scalp biopsy: if it shows no inflammation below the scalp, then a hair transplant could be considered.
