Another valuable option is a tested and scientifically proven topical treatment that includes a bio-cleansing shampoo and a thickening conditioner. Revivogen is a natural hair loss solution with an 88% success rate. It can be used in conjunction with other treatments but is preferred because there are no known side effects.
Alopecia areata may yet be curable but there are options for treatment, including the non-invasive topical product, Revivogen, that aids in most every type of hair loss condition.
Unlike ordinary patterns of balding, Alopecia areata doesn’t have a visible pre-determined set of patterns. All cases of AA seem to happen at random, bounded only by the age group of 15-30. The severity of this form of alopecia also varies from one person to another.
Some individuals may have three or four different bald spots at any one time, while others only have mildly thinning spots that are hardly detectable under normal lighting conditions.
Detection
What differentiates AA from all the other forms of balding is its severity when it finally strikes. Instead of feeling some form of goose pimple on the scalp, you’ll find completely smooth skin. It’s as if this disease eliminates all remnants of the hair follicles after it has dealt with the hair shafts in the affected region.
The affected areas on the scalp are often rounded; in many instances, it seems almost completely oval. Take note that Alopecia areata can manifest itself in ‘strange’ places such as the beard, the legs or even the pubic area.
A way of knowing if Alopecia areata is responsible for hair loss on your scalp is by looking whether you have ‘exclamation point hairs’. If a knife seems to be growing on a smooth, balding spot on your head, then you have a very active case of AA. Consult with your doctor immediately to confirm your suspicion.
Treatment
It might sound depressing, but your doctor may do something that may anger you afterward. To know whether the ‘exclamation point hairs’ are really what they appear to be, your doctor may decide to gently tug on them. If they were indeed caused by Alopecia areata, then they would be pulled off quite easily.
All these seem to be depressing, but there’s bright sunshine after all. You see, in more than ninety percent of all cases of Alopecia areata, the symptoms disappear on their own without medical intervention. For some reason, certain environmental triggers such as stress cause the occurrence of AA in patients. Remove the stress, the AA goes away.
When The Going Gets Tough…
If you don’t want to wait around to see whether your Alopecia areata will go away on its own or not, you may ask your doctor about the basic treatments available for this disease.
The most basic treatment for Alopecia areata is steroids. Steroids are among the friendliest and most helpful chemical compounds when used ethically during real medical intervention. Steroids inhibit the immune cells in the body from destroying your hair.
Steroids may be given through injection, or the doctor may prescribe steroids in cream or ointment form. If you are prescribed such, all you have to do is to regularly apply the topical steroids on the spots that are exhibiting balding. Steroid patches may also be used for the same purpose of counterbalancing the effects of rogue immune cells.
