Expert Care for Hair Pulling Disorder & 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 if it runs in the family.
Immune System Dysfunction
An overactive or misdirected immune response may play a role in triggering hair loss.
