Alopecia areata is a sudden, localized phenomenon of hair loss. Many patients have experienced hair falling out while growing long, which raises their doubts:Is this a sign of improvement? In order to answer this question, we need to first understand the causes of alopecia areata and the process of hair regrowth.
Alopecia areata is usually caused by an abnormal response of the immune system, ieImmune cells attack the hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out suddenly。During this process, the hair follicles themselves are not damaged, so it is possible for hair to regrow. But the process is not all smooth sailing, and the immune system's attack may persist, resulting in stunted hair growth.
When the hair starts to grow back, the patient may notice some new hair growth, but at the same time, they may also notice that some hair is still falling out. This situation may be due to:During the recovery process, the hair follicles are still slightly attacked by the immune system, resulting in the hair not growing steadily。In addition, the growth cycle of the hair can also affect this phenomenon. The growth cycle of hair includes anagen, catagen, and telogen phases, and the length of each cycle varies from person to person. So, even if new hair starts to grow, old hair may still be falling out because they are in a different stage of the growth cycle.
So, is alopecia areata hair falling out while growing a sign of improvement? In a way, yes. The growth of new hair means that the hair follicles are recovering and the immune system's attack on the hair follicles has weakened. However, this does not mean that alopecia areata is complete。Patients still need to continue** to consolidate the results and prevent hair from falling out again.
To promote hair regrowth and firmness, there are a few things that patients can do. First of all,Maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and proper exercise, can help boost the function of the immune system and reduce the attack on hair follicles. Second, avoid excessive anxiety and stress, as these factors may worsen the symptoms of alopecia areata. Finally,Follow your doctor's advice and use appropriate medicationstherapy, such as hormonal drugs, immunomodulators, etc., to speed up the hair regrowth process.
In addition to the above-mentioned measures, there are a number of other ways to help patients relieve the symptoms of alopecia areata. For example,Physical** methods such as phototherapy can stimulate the activity of hair follicles and promote hair growth。Patients can effectively control the symptoms of alopecia areata and promote hair regrowth and firmness.
