Alopecia Universalis
Alopecia universalis is an extensive form of hair loss in which the hair falls out from the entire scalp and also from the rest of the body, including eyebrows and eyelashes. It is considered an advanced variant of alopecia areata.
Common causes: it is related to an immune system response that affects the hair follicles; genetic factors and, at times, other associated conditions play a role.
When to seek care? In the event of rapid or very extensive hair loss, an assessment is advisable to confirm which type of alopecia it is and rule out other causes.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who studies diseases of the hair and skin and guides follow-up; in some cases, support from aesthetic medicine is added. Seeing a professional helps understand the process and assess the options available for each person.
