Alopecia Areata Treatment

For patients navigating the uncertainty of Alopecia Areata, the medical team at Green Square Health offers a structured approach to diagnosis, monitoring, and intervention.

Why is targeted Alopecia Areata care crucial?

Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder causing unpredictable hair loss, can impact one’s confidence and overall mental well-being. By addressing it early and comprehensively, patients can better manage its progression. Green Square Health’s approach is not just about treating the condition but also understanding the silent and unnoticed triggers, ensuring early detection and intervention.

Who should consider seeing the doctors at GSH for Alopecia Areata?

Specific Risk Indicators for Alopecia Areata:

• Family history of autoimmune disorders.
• Previous episodes of sudden and unexplained hair loss.
• Presence of other autoimmune conditions.
• Stressful life events prior to the onset.

Medicare Rebate:

• The consultation attracts a Medicare rebate for patients who hold a valid Medicare card. For those who do not, a detailed receipt can be provided to claim from their insurer. The injection and procedure should it be required does not attract a Medicare rebate.

The Green Square Health Alopecia Areata Approach

1. Comprehensive Assessment (30-45 minutes): Begin with an in-depth consultation with our experienced practitioners. At this visit we will discuss your medical history, family history, timeline of hair loss, examination of the area using a dermatoscope, and preparation of investigations if appropriate.
2. Treatment: After your initial assessment, a review with your General Practitioner will be arranged to arrange for the treatment. In some circumstances the assessment plus treatment may be possible in the same session (usually 45 minutes required).

Preparing for Your Alopecia Areata Care

Before attending your appointment, consider:

• Details of any past episodes of hair loss.
• Existing medications and their durations.
• Any supplements or vitamins currently taken.
• Treatments that have been trialled, their level of success, and any side effects.
• Family history concerning autoimmune disorders.
