What are corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids are a class of anti-inflammatory medications used to suppress immune activity in conditions such as alopecia areata and other autoimmune-related hair loss.
These medications can be administered topically, orally, or through injections to reduce scalp inflammation and limit further follicular damage.
While corticosteroids manage the immune response, red light therapy can complement them by encouraging follicle recovery and improving scalp microcirculation.
