You may be suffering from alopecia areata, a condition in which the body attacks the hair follicles. How can you tell and what can be done? Hint: the condition can also affect facial and body hair
It is not always possible to predict the timing, intensity, or duration of the condition’s outbreak
Alopecia areata is a condition characterized by hair loss in distinct, round patches. The manifestation may occur on the scalp but also on facial or body hair.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition resulting from a disorder in the immune system in which the body attacks the hair follicles. Research attributes a genetic background to this condition, and it may erupt in combination with various factors, including stress and pressure, or even food allergies, poor nutrition, alcohol consumption, and the use of certain medications. In this state, the hair follicles are attacked and damaged, the hair falls out, and there is a local disruption to the hair growth mechanism, sometimes to the point of irreversible damage and baldness.
As with autoimmune conditions, it is not always possible to predict the timing, intensity, or duration of the condition’s outbreak. Treatment of the problem must address the systemic issue of the immune system—combined with local and direct treatment of the hair follicles.
At Hair Clinic, a special exclusive supplement has been developed for treating the inflammatory process from the amino acid tyrosine, which allows complementary treatment to calm the immune response and continue integrative treatment.
The process must begin with a comprehensive diagnosis of the hair and scalp.
Only an in-depth microscopic diagnosis and comprehensive medical consultation to clarify the source of the impact can determine whether the treatment will help and to what extent. There is utmost importance to local treatments to maintain the vitality and viability of the follicle even in the early stage to prevent irreversible damage and to restore the hair life cycle to normal condition. If necessary and according to the condition and intensity of the disease, medical treatment can be combined in collaboration with a clinic of dermatology specialists—Spot Clinic under the management of Professor Azizi.
