Alopecia: A Problem Gaining Int'l Attention, Say Experts at Millenium Clinic


(MENAFNEditorial) (EMAILWIRE.COM, September 29, 2012 ) Sydney, NSW -- Although hair loss, and particularly alopecia, have gained a great deal of attention worldwide in recent years, Olympian Joanna Roswell brought the condition to the forefront of international media headlines last month, when the 23 year old cyclist collected her gold medal without her helmet, and without hair. Roswell is nearly completely bald, because of alopecia, which is a condition she has suffered from since the age of 13. It is reported that Alopecia Areata, the most common form of the condition, Millennium clinic affects 1 in 100 people, and Roswell became a symbol of inspiration for sufferers of this condition, particularly for women who suffer from the condition that leads to hair loss. Although the condition isn't life-threatening, it often has a very difficult impact on the life of the affected person, particularly when it comes to self-confidence and self-esteem. According to the experts at Millenium Clinic Alopecia Areata is baldness that typically begins with patchy hair loss on the scalp. This condition sometimes progresses to complete baldness and even loss of body hair. The hair loss tends to be rather rapid and asymmetrical and is different than male pattern baldness. Alopecia Areata affects both males and females. It tends to occur most often in children and young adults but older individuals can also be affected. The most common pattern of Alopecia Areata is one or more spots of hair loss on the scalp. There is also a form of more generalized thinning. When all of the scalp hair is lost, it is referred to as Alopecia totalis. Millenium Clinic offers alopecia treatment as well as other hair loss treatments and hair rejuvenation in Sydney CBD , While male pattern baldness, and even gradual female hair thinning are fairly well-known problems, that offer a number of solutions, Alopecia Areata is something that is only now becoming a commonly known condition, said the owner of the Millennium Clinic. It's something that a number of people, including a high number of young women, deal with, all over the world, but they often feel like they are struggling alone, which is why it's great when a role model like Joanna Roswell comes out and shares her struggle with Alopecia. Since the condition commonly affects young people, during their already difficult teenage years, it can be an even more painful experience, said the clinic owner. It's a time in their lives when they are already struggling with self-esteem and their identity, and to lose their hair in such a profound way, can impact them for the rest of their life. Millennium Clinic is committed to safe, effective, responsible and ethical approaches to treating hair loss problems and to providing the best hair loss treatments in Sydney CBD .
