In the News – Teen with Alopecia Universalis Raises Awareness By Becoming an Easter Egg

Snippet from the article:

We have treated this condition with Scalp MicroPigmentation. This is an easy cosmetic solution for men, as a man with alopecia universalis has no hair and looks like a person who shaved their head. This effect doesn’t work so much for women, as women will not usually go with the shaved head look.
