Alopecia Treatment in Kochi
Dermatologist-Led Care for Patchy & Autoimmune Hair Loss
Alopecia refers to hair loss conditions that may cause sudden patchy hair loss, thinning, or complete hair shedding in specific areas of the scalp or body. Unlike common pattern hair loss, alopecia often requires medical evaluation and targeted treatment.
At SkinEssence Skin & Hair Clinic, we provide personalised, dermatologist-supervised alopecia treatment based on accurate diagnosis and evidence-based protocols.
Serving patients across Kochi, Kadavanthra, and Ernakulam
What Is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a broad term for hair loss disorders. The most common type treated in clinics is Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
Other forms include:
Alopecia Totalis (complete scalp hair loss)
Alopecia Universalis (body hair loss)
Traction Alopecia (hair loss due to tension)
Scarring Alopecia (permanent follicle damage)
Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in treatment outcomes.
Symptoms of Alopecia
You may need medical evaluation if you notice:
Sudden round or patchy bald spots
Rapid hair shedding
Thinning eyebrows or beard
Changes in nail texture
Recurrent hair loss in the same area
A detailed scalp examination is necessary to determine the exact type.

Management of Underlying Conditions

Why Professional Treatment Is Important
Can Alopecia Be Reversed?
The outcome depends on:
Type of alopecia
Duration of hair loss
Early intervention
Individual response to treatment
Many patients experience regrowth in early stages when treated promptly. Chronic or scarring alopecia may require long-term management.
