Expert Care for Alopecia Areata & Hair Regrowth
Understanding Alopecia Areata
What Causes Alopecia Areata?
Autoimmune Response Against Hair Follicles
The immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing hair to fall out in patches.
Genetic Predisposition
Some people may have a higher chance of developing alopecia areata when the condition runs in their family.
Immune System Dysfunction
An overactive or misdirected immune response may contribute to the process that triggers patchy hair loss.
