Minoxidil Regroe joined the world in celebrating
the annual Alopecia Awareness Month with its Blue Party. It aimed at
heightening awareness as well as helping understand what alopecia is all about
and how to cope with this condition.
This noteworthy event happened last September 21,
2017 at Dillinger’s 1903 Steak & Brew Greenbelt 3 in Makati City, gathered
bloggers and media friends to help disseminate further information about
alopecia. The Blue Party event was Minoxidil Regroe’s way of supporting people
who suffer from this condition. In
addition, blue is the color of Alopecia Awareness which is celebrated every
September. Guests present on the said affair voluntarily cut their hair as a
symbolic gesture of showing support to people with alopecia.
During the event, an alopecia advocate and survivor
shared her journey about her experience in having this autoimmune condition and
how she surpassed her condition despite the stigma attached to it. “Alopecia
should not be ignored as it affects not only one’s outer appearance but also
one’s inner being. People do not understand that it is not as simple as shedding
of hair to one’s scalp or body but an autoimmune condition that resulted to
hair loss,” said Au De Leon.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease, causing
the body’s immune system to attack the hair follicles, resulting in partial or
complete hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. The most common
types of alopecia areata are alopecia
areata patchy or coin-like patches on the scalp or other areas of the body,
alopecia totalis or total hair loss
on the scalp, and alopecia universalis
or complete loss of hair on the scalp, face and body.
In the website of National Alopecia Areata
Foundation, (www.naaf.org), the foundation presented that 147 million people
worldwide are affected by alopecia areata with a lifetime risk of 2.1 percent.
Dr. Vinson B. Pineda, a renowned Filipino
dermatologist, who brought Minoxidil Regroe in the Philippines was present in
the said event. He shed light about alopecia and how Minoxidil Regroe can help
people with alopecia in managing their condition. According to Dr. Pineda, Minoxidil Regroe is
