The signs of aging skin are the result of an assault on our skin from two main areas, extrinsic factors and intrinsic factors. Healthy, normal functioning skin has:

• an even skin tone with no uneven pigmentation areas.
• is smooth and firm with normal pore size.
• all cellular components functioning normally and efficiently.

Extrinsic factors include effects from the environment, sun damage, and lifestyle. There are several steps you can take to address these factors:

• Don’t smoke. It impairs the healing process, can damage connective tissue, and it interferes with oxygen flow to blood vessels.
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water.
• Get plenty of sleep and reduce your stress level.
• Maintain good dietary habits.

Alopecia Areata is treated by Doctor for patients in Manhattan, Brooklyn and throughout the New York City area. Alopecia Areata has three stages. First, there is sudden hair loss.
