Alopecia areata in small children should be treated by Nagoya K Clinic.

Alopecia areata is among auto-immune diseases that are not able to be cured by the current medicine in the world. The only effective treatment for this disease is that increases IGF-1 production and is now available only in Nagoya K Clinic. Pictures below show the appearance of the head of 7 y.o. female patient suffering from alopecia totalis before and after the treatment. As you can see, alopecia is almost cured after the nine-months-treatment. However, severe hair loss is seen ten months after the treatment. The reason for the hair loss is the administration of olopatadine, an anti-histaminergic agent that induces hair loss by decreasing IGF-1 production. This drug is given by a dermatologist operating the clinic in the neighborhood of the patient. Treatment of alopecia areata in Japan is very bad due to the administration of such drugs as induce hair loss. Small children suffering from severe alopecia areata are recommended to visit Nagoya K Clinic, but are forbidden to visit the dermatology clinic. This summer vacation is a chance for these patients to visit Nagoya K Clinic with parents, even they live distant from Nagoya city.
