Discoid Lupus Hair Loss Treatment
Alloroots provides doctor-led discoid lupus hair loss treatment across India, with care plans tailored to each patient.

Regenerative therapies are used to support scalp health and preserve remaining follicles.
Medical and restorative options for lupus-related hair loss
Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation and managing thinning or scarring. Choice depends on disease activity and follicle condition.
- Topical corticosteroids for active lesions.
- Calcineurin inhibitors like tacrolimus lotion for some scarring cases.
- Systemic medications when disease is widespread or resistant.
- Sun protection to reduce flare-ups and damage.
- Regenerative therapies including PRP, i-PRF, GFC, exosome therapy, SVF, autologous cellular micrografts, and ACell+PRP.
- Surgical restoration such as long hair FUE transplant or body hair transplant after stable disease.
When to consider surgery
Hair transplants are offered only after lupus activity is controlled for a sustained period. Dermatologist evaluation confirms stability and sets expectations. Patients receive privacy guidance for any before/after images and clear information on outcomes.
Alloroots also provides low-level laser hair therapy and hair mesotherapy to prepare the scalp before surgery and aid recovery after.
Operational note: Consultations can be booked online or in-clinic, with appointments usually available within 7 working days.
Managing other scalp issues in lupus patients
Addressing coexisting scalp conditions can protect hair and improve restoration outcomes.
- Dandruff treatment to reduce scaling and discomfort.
- Scalp folliculitis care to lower infection risk.
- Traction alopecia management to prevent loss from styling tension.
Managing these helps maintain scalp condition for regenerative or transplant procedures.
