Young man presents with balding patches on his scalp
These patches reflect a disease called Alopecia Areata. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_areata
We have treated many of these men cosmetically with scalp micropigmentation. It hides the problem for them.
if the disease is limited, scalp micropigmentation works well keeping the hair lonhg to cover the bald spots, but when it gets advanced and the long hair can’t cover the balding spots, then a person can shave his head and hide the disease as the scalp micropigmentation fills in the bald patches with ‘dots’ that look like a shaved hair follicle. The disease can come and go, so having the scalp micropigmentation covering their entire scalp, gives them the opportunity to socially manage their hair loss when the disease is in its worst presentation. The decision to do Scalp Micropigmentation is a personal one, made when the patient feels that he can’t deal with the appearance of the disease. See: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/
