๐ 6.8 million people in the United States are affected by alopecia areata, an autoimmune form of hair loss that can appear suddenly and progress unpredictably. Hair follicles become targets of the immune system, often leading to round patches of hair loss and periods of regrowth followed by shedding. Because the exact trigger is not fully understood, condition management focuses on understanding contributing factors and supporting the health of the scalp environment.โ
Recent research shows that alopecia areata is not driven by a single cause. Immune activity, inflammation, and environmental influences can all play a role. Lifestyle patterns may affect how the condition presents or progresses. In this carousel, we highlight key lifestyle factors that may influence inflammatory pathways involved in alopecia areata, helping patients and providers better understand what can impact hair follicle stability over time.โ
While there is currently no cure, individualized therapeutic strategies may be recommended to support regrowth and help reduce inflammation around hair follicles. Mega Aid develops customized compounded formulations tailored to each patientโs hair loss pattern and scalp condition, which may include active ingredients such as minoxidil, finasteride, progesterone, spironolactone, retinoids, and corticosteroids. Each formulation is designed to provide targeted support with minimal systemic exposure.โ
๐ Understanding potential triggers and using individualized treatment strategies may help improve hair stability, reduce inflammation, and support regrowth over time.โ
