When your hair starts shedding, pretty much everything gets scary about hair fall alopecia areata. You go through denial, despair, and fear – the whole spectrum of negative emotions. At first you don’t want to talk to anyone, but eventually you’ll be dying to talk to someone. When you get to that point, make SD Hair loss Center your lifeline.

WHEN YOUR HAIR LOSS DOESN'T STOP

At SD Hair loss Center, we use our powers for good. We do everything we can to stop, slow down, or restore women’s hair loss. For some women (and men, and children), the shedding doesn’t stop. If you have Alopecia Areata, your hairdresser, aesthetician, or doctor might run out of ideas. The most important thing is to figure out exactly why your hair is falling out.

ALOPECIA AREATA IS AN AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER

Here’s the good news. Alopecia Areata, despite its many emotional implications, is not harmful to your overall health. It’s not rare, either. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, 6.6 million Americans are experiencing this type of hair loss. The condition causes you to lose your hair because your immune system – the body’s natural defense system – begins to attack your hair follicles. This can happen just on the scalp, on the scalp and face, or all over the body. Alopecia Areata can begin at any age, but it often starts during childhood.

COULD YOU PLEASE BE LESS ERRATIC?

The bad news, aside from losing your hair, is that Alopecia Areata can be totally unpredictable. Hair loss appears in patches, and hair can fall out slowly or quickly. Your hair might grow back completely, or it may not. With or without treatment, it can shed again at any time. In rare cases, what looks like hair fall Alopecia Areata can advance to complete hair loss, known as Alopecia Totalis. Even whole-body hair loss, or Alopecia Universalis, is simply another form of this disorder. Unlike pattern baldness and other types of hair loss, Alopecia Areata doesn’t destroy your hair follicles. Most of them remain viable and will grow again when they receive the right signal from your body. Unfortunately, we can’t control those signals.
