No Hair Transplants for Alopecia Universalis Sufferers
Dear Sir,
Does alopecia universalis (genetic) have no cure? I’ve been losing scalp hair for the past year. Now i’m losing eyebrows too and the hair which i thought was POTENTIAL DONOR hair is also becoming thin (not losing though). I guess now the importance of miniaturization is understood….In such a case, what can i do?? My doctor says to just learn to deal with it because medications are not effective in alopecia universalis. Can you please comment on it.
If you have been diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis, there is really nothing much you can do in terms of regrowing or transplanting hair.
I’m sure you know much about this disease, but for readers of this blog that may not be familiar with Alopecia, please see:
