Permanently Beautiful

It’s surprising what a difference in our appearance our eyebrows make. That arch of hair over each eye frames and defines our face. Perhaps our most expressive facial feature, we use our eyebrows to express delight, anger, surprise and thoughtfulness. Our eyebrows make us look human. Without eyebrows we look vaguely robotic and incomplete. 

Believed to be an autoimmune disorder, Alopecia Areata Universalis causes rapid loss of all facial and body hair. It can strike at any age, including early childhood, leaving alopecia sufferers feeling self-conscious and extremely uncomfortable about their appearance. Some sufferers of the disorder say the stares and rude comments of strangers can make them feel freakish about their appearance and reluctant to participate in social activities.

Many alopecia sufferers have found relief from their condition in paramedical tattooing. Using precision paramedical tattoo techniques, expert permanent makeup artists like Melany Whitney are able to create natural-looking permanent eyebrows where none existed. To help alopecia sufferers reclaim their natural beauty, Melany combines expert technical skill with her talent as a professional artist to tattoo individual eyebrow “hairs” above the eye sockets, creating perfectly-shaped eyebrows that look three-dimensional and completely natural.

My friend is distraught. She isn’t even 30 and she’s starting to lose her hair. We expect men to have thinning hair and bald spots, but women? Sure you see the occasional older woman with wispy hair. I had an aunt with hair so thin you could see her pink scalp through her wispy bouffant, but she was in her 80s. Thinning hair just isn’t something most women think about. Unfortunately, Alopecia Areata Universalis (AAU) is more common than you’d expect.

The second most common hair loss disease, AAU more often affects women, although it can affect men and children. AAU occurs in apparently healthy people like my friend and generally develops in the late teens or young adulthood. Sometimes called “spot baldness,” in its early stages the disease creates small thinning patches that can become bald. The disease can spread over the entire scalp and even affect other body hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes and pubic hair.

Researchers suspect a genetic factor as the non-communicable disease appears to be hereditary. Research also indicates that AAU may be an autoimmune disease exacerbated by stress. Whatever its cause, my friend finds it highly embarrassing. Fortunately, permanent makeup can help restore to eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp the natural appearance of hair lost from Alopecia Areata Universalis. Combining expert cosmetic tattooing with practiced artistry, Melany Whitney can restore a woman’s confidence by recreating naturally sensuous eyebrows and eyelashes and using permanent paramedical repigmentation to help hide scalp hair loss.
