 | Alopecia Areata (Patches) This type of damage is caused by an imbalance in the blood and is medically termed alopecia areata. In alopecia areata, the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person's own immune system (white blood cells), resulting in the arrest of the hair growth stage. Alopecia areata usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis). Isis has helped many women and children to revitalize their cells and grow their hair back with her wonderous products and advice. Please contact her for more information and education about these scalp conditions. |
