What It Treats
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing patchy or diffuse hair loss. Dr. Anna combines trichoscopic diagnosis with targeted medical therapies to calm the immune response and support regrowth, tailoring the plan to each patient's pattern and severity.
Before Your Consultation
Because alopecia areata can have many contributing and co-existing factors, a thorough initial consultation helps Dr. Anna build the most effective management plan.
What to Expect
Alopecia areata management is typically a longer-term, monitored process rather than a single procedure, with treatment adjusted based on your response.
Trichoscopy confirms the pattern and severity of alopecia areata, and a personalised treatment plan is proposed, which may include topical, injectable, or oral therapy.
Treatment is initiated and closely monitored; early regrowth of fine, often lighter-coloured hair may begin to appear in some patients.
Progress is reassessed via trichoscopy and photos, with treatment adjusted as needed based on how patches are responding.
Because alopecia areata can flare unpredictably, regular follow-up helps catch and manage new activity early.
Living With It
Alopecia areata often requires sustained management rather than a one-time fix, and Dr. Anna supports patients through both treatment and the emotional aspects of the condition.
Good to Know
There is currently no permanent cure, but many patients achieve significant regrowth with appropriate treatment, and Dr. Anna focuses on managing flares and maximising regrowth over time.
Depending on severity, options may include topical or injectable corticosteroids, immunotherapy, minoxidil, or newer oral therapies — Dr. Anna will recommend based on your specific pattern and history.
Regrowing hair sometimes comes in finer or lighter in colour initially, and typically normalises over subsequent growth cycles, though this varies by individual.
Yes, it can recur or flare unpredictably, which is why ongoing monitoring and follow-up are an important part of long-term management.
It's an autoimmune condition sometimes associated with other autoimmune conditions like thyroid disease, so Dr. Anna may recommend relevant screening depending on your history.
