This method of treatment is one of the most common forms of treatment for alopecia areata. Intralesional corticosteroids are injected into bare patches of skin with a tiny needle. These injections are repeated about every four to six weeks and are usually given by a dermatologist. New hair growth from corticosteroid injections is usually visible within four weeks.
Patients with extensive and rapidly progressive AA usually respond poorly to intralesional steroid injections. This treatment is most suitable for those with patchy or relatively stable hair loss of limited extent
“Hi, I am a 40 year old male who has been suffering from pattern baldness since my 30s. Due to various responsibilities like career, family, children, loans etc. I was not able to treat my hair loss. I just ignored it. However, more and more people started commenting about my baldness and it was a source of major insecurity. Finally, I was researching on Youtube and came across Dr Dhananjay Chavan's video about the topic, he seemed very knowledgeable and I knew that I had to consult with him. I am very happy about my transplant results and glad that I took this step.”

Hair loss has been a major cause of stress in my life and with HairMD, my stress is completely gone now. It's a different feeling altogether to get a thick set of hair on my head that has completely transformed me. I cannot thank HairMD enough for giving me my confidence back.
