Abstract

Ayurveda considered Alopecia areata as a minor ailment but now in this era of presentation looks are very important. Everyone wants to be beautiful and attractive. Hairs and skin are the mirror of beauty. If these two things are healthy and beautiful then the person looks more beautiful. An 18-year-old boy came to OPD with patches of baldness over his scalp. He has taken ‘n’ no. of treatment modalities for Alopecia areata but the results were not mesmerizing. The patient was advised to do microneedling with cupping for his baldness. According to the Pull and Tug test and SALT criteria, the patient had a 40% area of baldness at the center. After obtaining consent, the procedure was done thrice in 15 days. Along with this, internal medication with local application of oil was going on. In Internal medication, Asthimajja pachak (herbal drug combination), Praval Panchamrit (sea-origin calcium supplement), and Krumikurthar rasa (herbs-mineral drug) were given. After 4 months, with 15 sitting of microneedling with cupping, the patient had normal and healthy hair growth. Micro-needling along with internal medication is the best, cost-effective, and less invasive solution for re-growing hairs over high-cost hair treatments and transplantation.
