I don’t know if there are any new hair loss treatments but there are existing alopecia treatments that you may not know about. Consider checking out a website that reviews hair loss treatments for people with thinning hair. Any good comparison site will offer info about thegoods needed to treat hair loss.

Question by Shawn M: Hair Loss from Alopecia Areata and treaments?
was recently diagnosed with Alopecia from taking blood pressure meds for so long after having heart surgery. I normally kept my hair in short cuts but let it grow out to hide the bald spotting in areas. In doing my research I have not found anything to help with the loss. Any advise on products that help maintain the hair from spotting??

Shawn M, One of my roomates started loosing his hair at an early age. After many types of herbal, over the counter remedies, and who knows what from the internet, he ultimately chose to visit a hair loss clinic. Initially he was scared to go becasue he was scared it would cost too much, but he learned a lot from the free consultations. After 9 months he is finally starting to regain some hair. Sorry I don’t know more about his treatment, but maybe you could contact a local clinic. http://www.hairlossandtreatment.com

Hi !

Alopecia areata cannot be cured; however, it can be treated and the hair can grow back.

In many cases, alopecia areata is treated with drugs that are used for other conditions. Treatment options for alopecia areata include:

Corticosteroids: Anti-inflammatory drugs that are prescribed for autoimmune diseases. Corticosteroids can be given as an injection into the scalp or other areas, orally (as a pill), or applied topically (rubbed into the skin) as an ointment, cream, or foam. Response to therapy may be gradual.

Rogaine: This topical drug is already used as a treatment for pattern baldness. It usually takes about 12 weeks of treatment with Rogaine before hair begins to grow.

Other drugs that are used for alopecia areata with varying degrees of effectiveness include medications used to treat psoriasis and topical sensitizers (drugs that are applied to the skin and cause an allergic reaction that can cause hair growth).

Other Tips:

Apart from drug treatments, there are various cosmetic and protective techniques that people with alopecia areata can try. These include:

Using makeup to hide or minimize hair loss
Wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes from the sun and the environment
Wearing coverings (wigs, hats, or scarves) to protect the head from the elements

Reducing stress. Many people with new onset alopecia areata have had recent stresses in life, such as work, family, deaths, surgeries, accidents, etc. However, this has not been proven scientifically as a cause of alopecia areata.

While the disease is not medically serious, it can impact people psychologically. Support groups are available to help people with alopecia areata deal with the psychological effects of the condition. Further information may be found at the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (www.naaf.org).

Question by Not me!: I need advice about hair loss, (alopecia areata)?
I have a small patch of hair loss at the crown. (Alopecia Areata) It is gradually getting worse. What is the probability that I could loose all my hair and go bald? Has anyone gone through injections for help to regrow hair? What is painful? Successful? Did you have to keep on getting the shots to regrow/ keep your hair? Did insurance cover the cost? Did you have to resort to a wig? What kind did you choose? Did you like it? How much did it cost? I have my hair cut to the shoulders, highlighted blond. This sorta helps to disguise the bald spot.

I have alopecia! Trust me, you will probably not lose it all. At times it seems like it gets really thin and patchy, but I never lost it all. I bought a wig (at Bon Ton). I forget what kind it was.. I only used it for a while and I shaved it all off. It actually wasn’t as bad as it seemed. After I shaved it, the hair actually grew back a lot thicker and now I only get occasional patches.

Try and style your hair so that you have a side part so the hair covers the missing spots. And it’s a good idea to keep it short, as the stress from the hair being long and heavy makes it come out more.

I actually just was prescribed pre-natal vitamins by my doctor, who said that it would encourage the hair to grow faster and thicker, and it actually works! Lol.

It’s not the end of the world, honey; I know how it is. It seems like sometimes it’s really difficult sometimes and you just don’t know what to do, but people don’t see you for your hair, they see you for you!
