@kamii0428 Unfortunately our centre does not offer treatments for Alopecia Universalis. If your brows and lashes have come back then that is a good sign, but unfortunately it is difficult to say whether more hair will return as in many cases hair on the head does not. There are many children in the same position as you and a great website to join with many others just like you is alopecia world. It is a social network and you will find many people on there that can offer help and advice.
i have alopecia universalis. it has started to bring back my brows and lashes but not my head. i have given up on any treatments. i am 14. please help!
@automaticchic Please ask her to visit The Belgravia Centre website and complete our online diagnostic form using the ‘Belgravia Worldwide’ tab on the home page. Depending on the severity of her hair loss, our treatments might be able to help.
my mom’s hair have started to fall off and in several spots.she bought a wig recently to get ready in advance.they grow back super slowwww and they are becoming more difficult to conceal…
HELP please
@BelgraviaCentre
i send an email
and wait for replay
@armaghdown1 You would have to speak to a trichologist at the centre. What you can do is complete our online diagnostic form – this will give us a detailed idea of the severity of your condition and the likelihood of our treatments helping. You will be contacted by a member of the Belgravia team once you have submitted the form, which can be found on The Belgravia Centre website by clicking on the ‘Belgravia Worldwide’ icon on the home page.
My severity is rather much 50% of my scalp effected however I have no bald patches anymore , just my natural brown hair and white hair where I used to have patches. This white hair does not accept a colour from dyes etc so its very unsightly. Could 12.5% change the colour of the hair to natural brown and does it stop further hairloss?
@armaghdown1 how severe is your condition? It is very unlikely topical immunotherapy would be necessary – this is generally only advised for extreme cases of alopecia as it can cause serious side effects. Minoxidil 12.5% + Azelaic Acid cream has been very successful for patchy alopecia.
Hi. If topical immunatherapy is 25% sucessful for patients with universals or totalis, what is the percentage of sucess of treating the condition with DPCP immunatherapy for the patchy form of alopecia? Nowhere can I find this answer, maybe somebody knows.
@wahem1 @wahem1 Could you please visit The Belgravia Centre website (link provided underneath the video, or you can just search Google) and complete our online diagnostic form (click on the ‘home use service’ link in the menu). It would also help if you send photos to our email address, which can be found on the ‘contact us’ page. Once we have all of this we will be able to offer a prognosis and inform you how likely our treatments are to work. We look forward to hearing from you.
@BelgraviaCentre I see I watched it already, but I really Looking forward to have hair again. I will never lose hope. Thanks for the info. It was Nice being a bald.
@BelgraviaCentre
it’s random pitches
but alot and in my face also
@jeanmichael02 Unfortunately there is no cure for Alopecia Totalis (total hair loss on the scalp) or Universalis (total hair loss on the body and scalp). There are currently no licensed treatments for either of these conditions but it is possible for the hair to grow back on its own because the follicles are lying dormant but are not damaged in any way. For more details please watch the video above.
@jeanmichael02 Unfortunately we do not specialise in treatment for Alopecia Totalis or Universalis. There are currently no licensed treatments to treat either of these conditions but it is possible for the hair to grow back on its own because the follicles are lying dormant but are not damaged in any way.
@BelgraviaCentre my whole body lost hair, but some regrowing but slowly
@wahem1 The success of treatment depends on the severity of the condition. How much hair have you lost?
@Blanco150 With patchy alopecia it’s possible the bald patches will clear up on their own but the correct treatment can also be very effective to ensure best chances of regrowth. At Belgravia we use our own minoxidil cream formulation which patients find to be very effective in many cases. Alopecia is something that might recur throughout your life but it is unlikely that the condition will become more severe (totalis or universalis) if it has not already so I would say don’t worry too much!
i had the alopecia for 2 years
how i can get the cure I’am in saudi arabia
@BelgraviaCentre Sorry I just have red the comment, my alupecia is now universalis
Hello recently (2months ago) I noticed the patches of hair loss. I went to the doctor and i did not listen to what he was saying as i tought it was a fungus or something on me and i figured it would go away in a few days. now i did all the research and am now aware that this might affect me for the rest of my life is that true? As a child i did not have Alopecia Areata. until now in my early 30′s i also read that it might be passed on through my genes to my kids. Is that true?
@lardlizard This depends on the individual. Some men or women will not experience recurrence of patchy hair loss after the condition has been cleared up. We have treated hundreds, maybe thousands of cases of alopecia areata with minoxidil 12.5%, and there are many cases where patches have not returned.
@BelgraviaCentre the steroids, creams of whatever else do NOT permanently clear the condition. I have not seen or heard of a single case.
@lardlizard You are correct that none of the treatments are a ‘cure’. They can however clear up the condition temporarily or permanently in some cases, but there is always a chance the condition will recur.
I have AA. I tried minoxidil and later steroids both in the form of creme and injections. Nothing worked. Stopped steroids due to side effects. Even if these treatments may work for somebody else, they are only temporary and do not treat Alopecia areata’s underlying cause.
I believe that Alopecia Areata has something to do with skin sensitivity in relation to the envirionment. I have eczema too but only during winter season.
@jeanmichael02 Hi Jeanmichael. Thanks for your comment. How much hair have you lost?

Bridget J., if you’re somehow reading this comment and somehow know that this is you I’m talking about, thank you so much for introducing me to Why? by posting the first line of this song as your status on Facebook. We’ve never talked but I stalk your profile once in a while and copy and paste your statuses into Google to find new music to listen to, and discovering Why? through you was the absolute best. Thanks.
