- Involutional alopecia is a natural condition in which the hair gradually thins with age. More hair follicles go into the resting phase, and the remaining hairs become shorter and fewer in number. Patients notice significantly less hair loss within four weeks. Two more months of treatment encourage normal hair growth.
- Alopecia areata often starts suddenly and causes patchy hair loss in children and young adults. In this case, Chinese herbs may need to be taken for three to six months before noting significant hair regrowth.

I began to lose my hair. I was devastated, but Dr. Lee came to my rescue once again. He put me on medication [Chinese herbs] and after only approximately six weeks I began to see a remarkable improvement and are definitely back on track with dealing with my daily concerns and stress.
