Dr. Alanen sees thousands of patients with this medical condition, and we have had great success in using PRP treatment or cortisone injections for hair loss. Specifically, cortisone is most effective on conditions that stem from inflammation under the scalp, such as alopecia areata. When injected into the root of the hair over several months, cortisone reduces the inhibiting inflammation and allows the dormant hair to grow back. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

Alopecia areata is a medical condition that affects women and men, where hair loss develops in patches — generally on the head. On occasion, total baldness may occur. In most cases the hair will grow back after several months, but in some cases, the hair loss can be permanent.

It is not known exactly why alopecia areata occurs, but it is believed that the immune system attacks the cells which produce hair, causing inflammation at the root level.

The procedure entails cortisone injections into the scalp approximately 1 cm apart. The number of injections depends on the size of the area being treated and can range from 2 -3 injections in smaller areas to 40 – 50 injections in larger areas. After the procedure, patients can resume most activities immediately.

• Women and men with alopecia areata

• Patients with small patches of hair loss

• Hair loss affecting less than 50% of the scalp

During the initial complimentary consultation, Dr. Alanen or one of our hair loss specialists will perform a thorough assessment. If cortisone injection is not the appropriate treatment for your specific type of hair loss, we may recommend another treatment, such as PRP injections or mesotherapy.

Because cortisone takes time to reduce inflammation at the root level of the hair, new hair growth is typically seen in approximately 4-6 weeks. Injections are repeated at 4-6 week intervals until the hair has grown back. Unfortunately, cortisone injection treatments do not prevent new hair loss from developing.
