Alopecia Areata

Focused care with localized injections tailored to alopecia areata lesions

Procedure Description

Alopecia areata is a condition in which the follicles are attacked due to an abnormal immune response, causing hair to fall out in coin-shaped patches. Stress and fatigue are known aggravating factors, and the treatment approach varies depending on the size, number and progression of the lesions. Alopecia areata injection is a treatment in which small amounts of a medication that controls inflammation (a local steroid) are injected into the lesions, followed by LLLT (low-level laser therapy). The standard covers lesions up to the size of a ₩500 coin; if the area is wider, around the size of a business card, the treatment range is decided after examination. At 3Leaf Clover Clinic, we examine the size and condition of the lesions to decide the injection dose and interval, and continue treatment while monitoring progress. The speed of recovery may vary by individual.

Precautions

Temporary pain, redness or bruising may occur at injection sites, and in most cases resolve naturally.

With repeated injections, the injection sites may look temporarily indented, so please follow the interval recommended by the medical staff.

If lesions increase quickly or spread, additional examination may be needed.

Please let us know in advance if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an underlying condition such as diabetes, or are taking any medication.

FAQ

Can alopecia areata recover on its own?

Some cases recover naturally, but others progress or recur. After an examination, we will advise whether treatment is needed based on the condition of the lesions.

How many injections will I need?

Injections are usually given several times at 4–6-week intervals while monitoring progress. The number may vary depending on lesion size and response.

Can large lesions be treated?

The treatment range and method vary depending on the extent of the lesions, so please visit us for an examination.
