Alopecia Areata
Take control of your scalp and hair health today with experienced specialists you can trust. At PADRA Clinic, we listen to your needs, assess the severity of alopecia areata, and provide efficient treatment options. Note that we adopt a medical and holistic approach to stimulate your dormant hair follicles and rejuvenate your scalp.
What’s Alopecia Areata?
It is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden, unpredictable patchy hair loss on your scalp, eyebrows, beard, and other parts of your body. Think of your body’s immune system mistakenly attacking hair follicles. This disrupts your normal hair growth cycle, which can lead to noticeable bald spots on your scalp.
The most common cause of alopecia areata is an autoimmune dysfunction in which your body’s immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles. Genetics can also cause alopecia areata. That means you are more susceptible to this condition if your family has a history of alopecia areata. Other causes of alopecia areata include viral infections, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and anxiety.
It is crucial to note that there is currently no permanent cure for alopecia areata. Fortunately, PADRA Clinic offers a range of effective treatments to reduce the severity of your condition and stimulate hair regrowth. Whether you have patchy hair loss, you have lost hair across your entire scalp, or you are experiencing significant hair loss in other parts of your body, let our specialists help.

Hair Transplant Procedure Step by Step
Padra Clinic is a trusted leader in hair restoration, combining medical expertise, modern technology, and a proven track record to deliver natural results with care, precision, and over 20 years of experience.
Shaving
Before your hair transplant surgery, we will ask you to wash and shave your head, leaving about 2-3 millimeters of hair strands. This makes the extraction and implantation of the grafts much easier.
Hairline Design
Our hair transplant specialists carefully outlines the boundaries of your hairline based on natural hairline patterns and the ideal forehead-to-hair ratio to achieve natural-looking results.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is administered to your scalp to ensure you do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Fresh injections are given as needed throughout the procedure.
Extraction
Healthy and viable hair follicles are individually harvested using specialized punch tools from the hair bank, often located at the back or sides of the head.
Implantation
The hair transplant surgeon makes small incisions in the receiving areas of the scalp and places the grafts into them. This is a delicate procedure, as the correct placement and angulation of the grafts ensures natural-looking results.
Dressing
After the procedure, your head is bandaged, and you will be given detailed aftercare instructions. Following these instructions is a vital step in ensuring the operation’s success.
Hair Transplant Aftercare
The cost of a hair transplant primarily depends on the number of grafts required to cover the balding areas of your scalp. You’ll need more grafts if the balding areas are extensive, increasing the overall cost. Additionally, other factors influence the final price of your hair transplant, including the surgeon’s expertise, the technique used for the procedure, and any prescribed medications. You can use the tool below to estimate the number of grafts needed.
This is the most vital part of your hair transplant aftercare. During this period, there is a risk of graft movement or dislocation.
Avoid Touching the Grafts

Sleeping Position
Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
Avoid Physical Activity
Steer clear of strenuous activities to prevent increased blood flow to the scalp.
At this point, you can relax a little and return to your daily routine. Washing and cleaning your scalp is also added to your aftercare routine.
Gentle Washing
Begin washing your hair gently with a mild shampoo as per your surgeon’s instructions.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Protect your scalp from direct sun exposure; wearing a loose-fitting hat is advisable.
Don`t Scratch the Scabs
Do not touch the scabs on your scalp; let them fall off naturally without any interference.
Post-op
The scabs should have fully healed by now, eliminating any risk of graft displacement. You may begin some light activities.
Gentle Washing
You may gradually return to light physical activities but avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Be prepared for the transplanted hairs to shed; this is a normal part of the process.
Don`t Scratch the Scabs
Do not use gel, spray, or oils during this stage.

Regain Control of Your Hair Health with PADRA Clinic
PADRA Clinic is a reputable and trusted provider of hair loss treatments, transplants, and other aesthetic treatments. With a global presence, impressive ratings, and 95% client loyalty or referral rate, you can trust us to help manage and treat alopecia areata. Here are some of the treatment options we recommend.
Are Topical Treatments for Alopecia Areata Effective?
Over the years, there have been breakthrough therapeutic treatment options for alopecia areata. While there is no cure for this condition, PADRA Clinic works with you to assess your hair loss condition and determine topical treatments to manage alopecia areata effectively. With our deep understanding of various hair conditions and how topical treatments work, we recommend a treatment option that best helps regrow your hair.
You can apply topical treatments directly to the affected area, such as the eyebrow area, scalp, beard, and more. Most of our patients prefer the topical treatments to oral or injected ones because they have side effects that are more manageable. Additionally, our specialists will assess your condition and recommend topical treatments to achieve the best possible outcome. Some of these treatments include:
- Corticosteroid lotion.
- Minoxidil lotion or foam.
- Calcipotriol/Calcipotriene ointment.
- Janus Kinase lotion, ointment, or cream.
Our experienced medical professionals will recommend the best corticosteroids and other topical treatments to stimulate hair growth in the affected area.
Intralesional Injections for Alopecia Areata
The loss of hair associated with Alopecia Areata can be distressing. However, it’s crucial to mention that the condition doesn’t cause permanent damage to the hair follicles. The hair follicles in the affected area remain intact below your skin, which makes regrowth possible once our specialists control the inflammation.
That’s why we may recommend Intralesional injections of corticosteroids to affected areas. Corticosteroids are a synthetic version of the hormones that your adrenal gland produces naturally. They are widely used to control inflammation and suppress overactive immune responses.
When it comes to the treatment of alopecia, our specialists administer corticosteroids in the form of Intralesional injections to calm the immune cells that may be attacking hair follicles, minimize local swelling, and stimulate hair growth. To ensure the best possible outcomes, we pay attention to the following:
- The concentration of the corticosteroids depends on the area being treated.
- Volume per site.
- Specific dosage per treatment session.
- Severity of your alopecia areata (hair loss).
At PADRA Clinic, we use advanced technology to ensure the injections deliver corticosteroids to the affected area.
Advanced Plasma Therapy for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a minimally invasive and non-surgical treatment designed to use your body’s platelets to stimulate and support hair growth in areas affected by alopecia areata. To start the treatment, our specialists draw a small amount of blood and process it using a centrifuge to isolate the platelets.
Next, the concentrated (platelet-rich) plasma is injected back into the specific areas affected by hair loss to stimulate tissue repair, natural healing, and hair regrowth. Your platelets have unique growth factors that reactivate dormant hair follicles, trigger hair growth, and continue to support stronger and healthier hair.
It’s crucial to mention that the platelet-rich plasma is obtained from your own blood. Thus, the treatment is usually successful. Generally, our patients prioritize advanced plasma therapy over other treatment options for alopecia areata due to the following benefits.
- Minimal or no downtime after each treatment session.
- Minimally invasive treatment that involves an injection into the affected area.
- Personalized and thorough assessments are conducted before treatment begins.
- Long-lasting results following successful treatment.
During the treatment period, our specialists will monitor your progress and adjust your advanced plasma therapy as needed.
Low-Level Laser Therapy for Hair Growth
Low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive approach to alopecia areata treatment that stimulates cellular growth or activity in your scalp. It uses a specific light wavelength to trigger weak and dormant hair follicles to start growing. Think of it like ‘jumpstarting’ your hair follicles.
At PADRA Clinic, your low-level laser therapy starts with a thorough assessment. You’ll sit with our specialists for a detailed evaluation of your scalp health and areas affected by alopecia areata. Based on the severity of your condition and treatment goals, we will personalize your treatment plan to ensure the best possible results.
One aspect that sets PADRA Clinic apart is that we use advanced technology to deliver the right laser therapy to stimulate your follicles. Considering the recurring nature of alopecia areata, you may need several treatments. Here’s why our patients choose our low-level laser therapy to manage alopecia areata or other hair loss conditions.
- No scarring.
- Painless procedure that takes a short time.
- Higher success rate in stimulating dormant hair follicles.
- It can be easily combined with other treatment options.
At PADRA Clinic, we have access to the state-of-the-art low-level laser therapy tech. Schedule an appointment today.
