Mild, moderate, and severe alopecia areata: Understanding severity and treatment choices

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19 2026 4PM PST/ 6PM CST/ 7PM EST

The autoimmune disease alopecia areata can appear in a range of severities – from a single patch of hair loss to multiple patches to more extensive hair loss on the scalp and body. Dermatologists use disease severity as an important guide when determining the most appropriate treatment options. In this webinar, Brett King, MD, PhD, will explain what is considered mild, moderate, and severe alopecia areata and how treatment approaches may differ across these levels, with a special focus on mild and moderate disease. He will review commonly used treatments, including steroids, minoxidil, and JAK inhibitors, and discuss what is known about some older treatment approaches.
