I Have Alopecia Areata — What Can I Do About My Eyebrows?

Hello baldingblog staff!

My question for you, I’m a guy , 35 years old, im suffering alopecia areata (patches). I really can do nothing, Im very affected by this disease and decide to completely shave my head and i deal with it. My real problem here to resolve is the eyebrows… I’m wondering what i should do for this particular case. Im not sure about tattooing my face. I’m sure the same way you just wrote it in your article, that it will look fake on a man… Anyway, I’m asking you what’s the best avenue for my needs here?

For men tattooing the eyebrow may look “fake”, but a stippled effect with some pencil on it may be helpful. There is no real great answer. Unfortunately for patients suffering with alopecia areata there is not much hope in terms of a hair transplant procedure as long as the disease stays active for then a hair transplant will not work. When the disease burns out (become inactive) then hair transplants can work and you can get your eyebrows back. There is always a risk that the disease may return.
