Alopecia Totalis Treatment

Medical Treatments for Alopecia Totalis

Medical treatments aim to suppress the immune response causing hair loss. Common options are:

• Topical corticosteroids to reduce scalp inflammation.
• Systemic corticosteroids for severe cases to control immune activity.
• Immunotherapy with agents like diphencyprone (DPCP) to trigger hair regrowth through controlled allergic reactions.
• Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, an emerging treatment needing specialist supervision.

Responses vary, so ongoing monitoring is important to adjust treatments.

Regenerative and Supportive Therapies

These therapies support hair regrowth alongside medical treatments:

• Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC), which uses patient-derived growth factors to stimulate follicles.
• Hair Mesotherapy, delivering vitamins and nutrients directly to the scalp.
• Alopecia Areata Treatment protocols adapted for totalis, including supportive scalp care.

These treatments improve scalp health and may boost the effectiveness of medical therapies.

Hair Transplant and Surgical Options

Hair transplantation is usually considered once medical treatments control disease activity. Suitable patients may have a male hair transplant or female hair transplant if they have enough donor hair. For those with previous unsuccessful surgeries, hair transplant repair and correction services are available. Surgery requires careful planning and ongoing dermatological care.
