September is National Alopecia Areata Awareness Month

BOCA RATON, Fla., September 6, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Alopecia areata affects nearly 7 million people across the United States. The condition occurs when a person’s immune system mistakenly attacks their hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss on the scalp, face and other areas of the body. The National Alopecia Areata Foundation sponsors a month-long awareness campaign every September in local communities nationwide to bring attention and increase understanding of the disease.

To help build awareness, Hair Club, the leading provider of total hair solutions in North America, is sharing information about alopecia areata and customized hair restoration options available for individuals living with the condition.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata can occur in multiple family members, suggesting genetics play a part in the condition. This autoimmune disease affects men and women of all ages and ethnicities, and often first appears in childhood. Several forms of this type of alopecia exist, including:

• Alopecia areata, which results in round patches of hair loss
• Alopecia totalis, characterized by the complete loss of scalp hair
• Alopecia universalis, which results in the total loss of hair on the scalp and body
• Ophiasis, which occurs in a wave pattern around the edge of the scalp

 Hair regrowth for people with alopecia areata is dependent on the type and severity of their condition. For some, regrowth can be unpredictable, while for others, hair can regrow within a few months. The condition may also be cyclical, meaning hair can fall out repeatedly over time.

“At Hair Club, we want people with alopecia areata to know there is hope,” said Lee Zoppa, Hair Club’s Vice President of Marketing and Advertising. “We offer proven solutions that can help anyone who wants to restore their hair.”
