Spot baldness (Alopecia areata)

The earlier we start treatment for this condition, the greater the likelihood of hair regrowth without relapse. During the first 6 months, hair regrowth occurs in approximately 30% of patients. At the Clinic, for the treatment of alopecia areata we use both topical steroid preparations in the form of ointments, creams, solutions as well as intralesional injections. In more advanced cases of the disease, oral steroid preparations or cyclosporine A are used in the treatment. We are also conducting clinical trials on biological drugs used in AA. 

The treatment of alopecia areata is very successful with the DCPC therapy. Initially, the patient is sensitised to the substance and then, once a week, an appropriate amount of the product in the right concentration is applied to the scalp. The idea behind the treatment is to direct the immune response to the skin inflammation caused by DCPC, which leads to white blood cells being sent to the site of the allergy to treat the affected area.
