Alopecia Totalis
COMPLETE HAIR LOSS
While many conditions can cause partial or temporary hair loss for women, Alopecia Totalis is one that is complete and often permanent. Like Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to use your body’s natural defenses against your hair follicles. In milder forms of Alopecia, hair may shed and after alopecia totalis treatment grows back over time. Regrowth is less common for women with Alopecia Totalis, though it does happen. The chances of complete restoration through natural regrowth are small.
Alopecia Totalis can begin in two ways – with gradual hair loss in patches throughout the scalp, or with very sudden loss of all hair on the head. If you’re losing hair throughout your entire body, you’re likely dealing with a third condition called Alopecia Universalis.
WHY AM I LOSING MY HAIR ALL OF A SUDDEN?
This is the question we wish we could answer. We know that women with these three forms of Alopecia have an autoimmune disorder. What we don’t know is what triggers the condition to start – or stop – causing hair loss. Alopecia Totalis is an auto-immune condition that usually affects children and adults under the age of 40. For some still-undiscovered reason, in this form of Alopecia, the immune system attacks only the hair follicles on the scalp. Until research uncovers the root causes of Alopecia Totalis, how to prevent their effects and the best alopecia totails treatment, many women are left wondering what they can do now about their hair loss.
