Online Consultation Alopecia Areata

What to expect during your online consultation

Consultations are conducted via secure video platform. You will be asked about your hair loss history, symptoms, and any prior treatments. Dr. Sahoo may request clear scalp photographs for assessment. Based on the evaluation, treatment strategies are discussed with timelines and expected responses. These may include prescription medicines, in-clinic regenerative sessions, or lifestyle adjustments to support hair health. Results vary depending on individual factors and disease progression.

• Initial evaluation, medical history and scalp assessment
• Diagnosis confirmation, visual review and possible lab tests
• Treatment planning, personalised, evidence-led options
• Follow-up scheduling, online or in-clinic as needed

Treatment options for alopecia areata

Depending on severity and patient profile, treatment plans may combine multiple approaches:

• Topical corticosteroids or immunotherapy, to reduce inflammation and stimulate regrowth
• Oral medications, systemic agents where indicated by disease extent
• Regenerative trichology, therapies like Autologous Cellular Micrograft Therapy or PRP/i-PRF
• Adjunct devices, low level laser therapy (LLLT), dermapen for targeted scalp stimulation
• Supportive care, nutritional optimisation, stress management strategies

Some patients may also consider hair camouflage techniques such as scalp micropigmentation (SMP) during regrowth phases. All recommendations are tailored after consultation and may require periodic reassessment.

Choosing online or in-clinic care

Online consultation suits those seeking expert input without immediate travel. It is ideal for initial diagnosis, treatment initiation, and ongoing monitoring. In-clinic visits are recommended if advanced procedures are required or if physical scalp examination is essential. Patients can transition between modes as their care needs change. Booking is available year-round, with flexible slots to accommodate different time zones within India.

When scheduling, ensure you have a quiet, well-lit space and any recent medical reports ready. This helps maximise the value of your session and shortens diagnostic timelines.
