Hair · Alopecia
Alopecia areata causes sudden patchy hair loss and can be distressing. Dr. Megha Sharma — with AIIMS experience — offers comprehensive treatment combining intralesional steroid injections, immunotherapy, and advanced hair restoration procedures.
About This Treatment
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or elsewhere. It affects 2% of the population and can range from one or two small patches (alopecia areata) to total scalp baldness (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).
With the right treatment started early, most patches of alopecia areata regrow within 3–6 months. Dr. Megha Sharma has extensive experience managing all grades of alopecia areata.
