Alopecia

Alopecia is a common autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing hair to fall out.

The amount of hair loss varies in severity.

Conventional treatments such as corticosteroids aim to suppress the immune system.

However, these options often come with serious side effects and provide only temporary hair growth.

Healthy hair growth requires a complex range of nutrients, making nutritional deficiencies a significant factor in hair loss.

For example, iron-deficiency anemia is a leading cause of hair loss in women.

At HMC, the goal of our treatment is to provide nutritional support for the proper functioning of the immune system as well as to stimulate hair growth by correcting any nutritional deficiencies. 

By delivering vital nutrients, we aim to reset the misguided immune system and promote sustainable, healthy hair regrowth.
