Alopecia Areata

If your hair begins to fall out, creating small patches of baldness around the size of a 10p coin then it is likely that you are suffering from Alopecia Areata. Alopecia Areata typically manifest in multiple circular bald patches around the scalp. Alopecia Areata affects both men and women. Alopecia Areata can also affect facial hair (beard, eyebrows, eyelashes etc) and body hair. In its most severe form Alopecia Areata can affect the entire scalp (Alopecia Totalis) or the entire body and scalp (Alopecia Univeralis).

What Causes Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia Areata is caused by an autoimmune disorder which causes hair loss and prevents hair growth in patches around the scalp. The autoimmune disorder causes the body to attack hair follicles whilst in the growth (Anagen) stage which stops hair growth. Hair loss is caused through inflammation as T cell lymphocytes (natural killer cells) cluster around affected hair follicles.

Is There a Cure for Alopecia Areata?

The best thing that you can do to treat Alopecia Areata is to get treatment that will improve hair growth (such as ProTress Essential Scalp Therapy Energising Shampoo and Lotion) because there is currently no cure. The quicker you seek treatment the more likely you are to restore hair growth and prevent the hair loss from worsening because the more severe the hair loss condition, the chances of hair regrowth reduce.

Why Should You Use ProTress to Treat Alopecia Areata?

ProTress Essential Scalp Therapy Energising Shampoo and Lotion is so effective at treating Alopecia Areata because it works in tandem with the science of your hair’s growth cycle.  ProTress Essential Scalp Therapy Energising Shampoo and Lotion revitalises hair follicles and increases the rate at which blood flows around the scalp, passing nutrients to the hair bulb (microcirculation), which helps to reactivate the Anagen (Growth) stage whilst shortening the Telogen (hair fall) phase of the hair growth cycle, because the hair follicle is renewed faster which reduces hair loss and improves hair growth.
