Alopecia areata affects approximately 6.8 million people in the United States and 147 million people worldwide. Both men and women can suffer from alopecia. African Americans under the age of 30 suffer most often from this disease, while Asians are less commonly affected. It is estimated that 40% of women suffer from hair loss.
There is still hope for those suffering from alopecia, as Olumiant, a new prescribed medicine, was approved recently by the FDA. In our previous blog, we discussed this topic here.
"I am so happy that adults with severe alopecia areata can now take OLUMIANT, a once-daily pill. The results of clinical trials are remarkable, as one in five adults taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day and one in three taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day achieved significant hair regrowth resulting in 80% or more scalp coverage, and eyebrow and eyelash improvements were also achieved for patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day with substantial eyebrow or eyelash hair loss." - Brett King, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.A.D
How long has it been tested?
Olumiant was approved in 2018 but was used as a treatment for certain adult patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis.
If still have doubts on trying Olumiant, we offer alternative solutions such as lace wigs to help you feel confident once again. You can check out our website for more lace wig options.
