At the Alopecia Areata Treatment Center, we focus on both non-scarring alopecia conditions such as telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, and alopecia areata, as well as scarring alopecia including central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, discoid lupus erythematosus, folliculitis decalvans, acne keloidalis nuchae, and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp. Dr. Rothfeld's expertise ensures that each patient receives tailored treatment plans suited to their specific condition and needs.
Our center offers a variety of advanced treatment options for alopecia areata:
- Steroid Injections: Injection of steroids like Kenalog directly into the scalp, with initial hair regrowth visible within 4-8 weeks. Treatments are repeated as needed, though thinning of the skin is a potential side effect.
- PRP Therapy: Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy utilizes the patient's own blood platelets to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging natural hair growth.
- JAK Inhibitors: Medications like tofacitinib and ruxolitinib can modulate immune responses and promote hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
- Microneedling: Combined with topical medications, microneedling enhances their effectiveness by creating micro-channels in the skin, aiding in absorption and hair follicle stimulation.
- Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) improves blood circulation to hair follicles, supporting hair growth in affected areas.

Understanding Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder characterized by sudden hair loss in round patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or other areas of the body. It can progress to alopecia totalis (complete scalp hair loss) or alopecia universalis (total body hair loss), affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
