Alopecia areata shows up as smooth, coin-sized bare patches on the scalp, brows, or beard. Cortisone injections into the patch calm the immune response that pushed the follicles into hibernation, giving them room to restart.
A dilute cortisone solution is injected with a tiny needle into the thinning area. Treatments are spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, and the visit takes just minutes.
Many people notice fine new hairs in the treated spot within 4 to 8 weeks of their first session, with fuller regrowth over the following months. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on the size of the area.
