Random bald spots on the scalp are known as alopecia areata. This is an auto-immune disorder where the immune systems attacks the hair follicle interrupting the growth cycle. Usually the skin in these patches looks normal but there may be a tingling sensation. This is most common amongst younger people and is believed to effect around 2% of those under 30.

The cause is not really known but about one in five of those affected have a family history of auto-immune conditions.

The most common treatment is steroids which can be applied in a number of ways. These are effective in about 70% of cases but for the remaining 30% there are a limited number of options. Treatments can make a difference but at Hair Technology International we believe that noone should be left without hair so our non-surgical procedures can offer great results.
