Vancouver Alopecia Areata Support Group

Hello Vancouverites! Connecting is one of the best ways to feel happier and become more informed! Come as you are, whether you are shy or outgoing. This is a genuine and fun group where all of us - new to alopecia or experienced, hair-wearer or au natural, seeking treatment or not - all come together and be supportive, informative, and positive for one another. After 4+ years of running this group, I can say for sure that you'll feel better after a meetup! :)

Come to our monthly meetups, or, start by joining this group and be in the loop of upcoming meetups! Sometimes I include alopecia news / remedy / stories too.

If your kid / teen has alopecia, please contact us and we'll put you in touch with other parents! It'll be, I believe, quite awesome for your child :)

Hi Tanya.

My name is Manhhuy Ly.

 I  live in Vancouver. I am an Esthetician and Hair restoration.

Last year, in early April 2015, my sister had the Telogen effluvium

problem, her hair had shedding  on the floor  everywhere she gone.

She asked me for help. I did the research.What is there, why is there, how to treat it.

I started treating her hair early in April, by the end of the month the vellus had arrived, after 3 months of treatment, her hair grew so rapidly and gone back normal stage. She always has short hair cut.

Then my friend Mr Shaw who saw the whole procedure, and asked me  for help. I started treating him in August, He had Telogen effluivum and Frontal fibrosing .In September, his hair grew so rapidly and said to me (why do not do this as business).

In that time, i did not realize that hair loss Which has no cure the moment.There is big population in the world who suffer from Alopecia areate. 

I have been treating hair loss as volunteer for over a a year. At first, whenever i told people that i could treat hair loss. Everyone who are my good friend laughed at me, they said how could you do it while the hair loss researches could not do it. In January, 2016 . I hired the Wardell International business adviser and Oyen Wiggs green & Mutala llp Intellectual property Lawyers. my lawyer name is Stephanie A. Melnychuk. B.sc.(Biochemistry).M.Sc (Chemistry)J.D. My clients suggeted me. to join in (VAASG).I have been treating Alopecia totalis. Frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Scarring alopecia. Telogen effluvium. Traction alopecia.Trichotillomaina. But I do not treat for Alopecia unversalis and hair loss due to medical reasons

Lovely to see everyone, as usual.  Oh no Lea. We drove off without your phone?  It was great to meet Carla and to connect in a way we all understand. Please know we are here to support you on the days that are more challenging. I hope to see you again soon.  The coffee and conversation was great, and I look forward to our next meet up. Thank you for all your kind words about the book. It was hard work that was motivated by all of you, and it's nice to hear all the nice things people are saying about it. It means I hit on the things that matter.
