400;\">Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder in which the body&#8217;s immune system attacks its own hair follicles, typically causing sudden, well-defined round or oval patches of hair loss. It can affect anyone regardless of age or gender, ranges in severity from a single small patch to complete scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or total body hair loss (alopecia universalis), and often has an unpredictable course \u2014 patches can regrow on their own or recur without warning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Alopecia_Areata\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes Alopecia Areata?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alopecia areata is caused by the immune system mistakenly targeting healthy hair follicles, though what triggers this immune response in a given person isn&#8217;t always clear. Genetics, other autoimmune conditions, and significant physical or emotional stress are commonly associated with flare-ups, but alopecia areata is not caused by poor hygiene, diet, or anything the patient did.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alopecia_Areata_vs_Pattern_Hair_Loss\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alopecia Areata vs Pattern Hair Loss<\/span><span

weight, particularly given how sudden and unpredictable its onset often is. It&#8217;s worth knowing that having alopecia areata says nothing about your overall health, hygiene, or anything you did \u2014 it&#8217;s a misdirected immune response, not a reflection of self-care. Many patients find that combining medical treatment with practical coping tools, whether that&#8217;s scalp micropigmentation for patchy areas that aren&#8217;t regrowing, wigs during active flare-ups, or simply connecting with others who understand the condition, makes the day-to-day experience considerably easier while treatment takes effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Alopecia_Areata_Be_Treated_With_a_Hair_Transplant\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can Alopecia Areata Be Treated With a Hair Transplant?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hair transplant is generally not recommended for active alopecia areata, because the autoimmune process can attack newly transplanted follicles just as it attacked the original ones.
