    Question: What is Alopecia Areata? Can hair grow back after treatment?

    Answer: Alopecia Areata is an auto immune disease that affects the hair follicles.

    Symptom:

    The main symptom of this condition is hair loss. The hair tends to fall out in round patches mainly on the head but it can happen any where on the body. Some people loose more hair than other and some may even loose all their hair. Any one can get this condition and it usually starts in child hood.

    Cause:

    Scientist think that this condition may be hereditary but the cause is not really known.

    The body’s own immune system attacks the hair follicles thus causing hair loss. The amount of hair loss can not be determined or when the hair will grow back if ever. Some people have had their hair grow back after treatment but some have not.

    Treatment:

    The most popular treatments are corticosteroids. Cortisones affect the immune system and reduce swelling and pain. This treatment can be swallowed, injected or rubbed on the skin. Photochemotherapy is also a standard treatment. This combines the use of ultraviolet light and a drug called psoralen.

    Lastly are the alternative treatments of aroma therapy, acupuncture, vitamin supplements, zinc, oils and Chinese herbs.

    If you or any one you know is struggling with this disorder, see a Doctor. Try every last treatment you can and don’t give up. Many people have had success and you can too.

    Product Description

    The LaserComb has been designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. To turn on the LaserComb, press the power button and then the laser button on the front of the unit. Next, place the LaserComb flat on your head using the two rows of teeth. Rather than constantly moving the device through your hair (as you would with a regular brush or comb), you should use a glide method by placing the LaserComb on a specific spot on your head and gently gliding it back about 0.5-inches each time the audible four-second beep occurs. Move from the front of your hairline to the back of your head, then repeat the process moving in the opposite direction. The glide method is the best way to ensure that the LaserComb will be as effective as possible. In addition to being very easy to operate, this device is also a relaxing and enjoyable product to use. There are no sprays, topical ointments, or powders to worry about, and it can be used in the comfort of your own home at your own convenience.
