Does acupuncture helps in alopecia areata?

No: While acupuncture has traditionally been used in china for various dermatological conditions, there is currently no supporting research-based evidence for its effectiveness.

May: It may help but results are unpredictable and variable. If the hair loss is too extensive or resistant to traditional medical treatment, acupuncture may help .Ask acupuncturist how many e/she has treted and achieved positive response.
