A Solution to Alopecia: Scalp Micropigmentation

Alopecia: More Than Just Hair Loss

Alopecia is more than a physical condition – it’s an emotional journey too. Whether you're noticing patchy bald spots, complete hair loss, or gradual thinning, the experience can feel overwhelming. The impact on confidence is real – and you're not alone in feeling that way.

What Causes Alopecia?

Alopecia isn’t just one condition. It comes in several forms, each with different triggers:

Alopecia Areata – An autoimmune disorder where the body attacks its own hair follicles, causing sudden bald patches.

Androgenetic Alopecia – Commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, this genetic form appears gradually over time.

Alopecia Totalis & Universalis – Severe forms that involve complete hair loss: Totalis – Loss of all scalp hair. Universalis – Loss of all body hair, including brows and lashes.

Traction Alopecia – Caused by constant tension from tight hairstyles like braids, extensions, or buns.

Other contributing factors can include:

Stress – Emotional or physical stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle.

Hormonal imbalances – Conditions like thyroid issues or pregnancy can affect hair health.

Medical conditions – Autoimmune disorders and skin diseases can lead to hair loss.

Medications – Treatments like chemotherapy can cause temporary or permanent shedding.

How It Appears

Alopecia can look different for everyone: Sudden circular bald patches. Diffuse thinning across the scalp. Total loss of scalp and body hair.

The Emotional Side of Alopecia

Hair is a huge part of how we see ourselves. Losing it can affect more than your reflection – it can impact how you show up in the world. Many people: Feel less confident in social settings. Avoid photos or change how they dress. Experience anxiety or low mood due to their appearance
