Eyebrow Case Study II
Trichotillomania is hair loss caused by compulsive pulling or twisting of the hair until it breaks off.
Alternative Names
Compulsive hair pulling
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Trichotillomania is a type of compulsive behavior. Its causes are not clearly understood.
It may affect as much as 4% of the population. Women are four times more likely to be affected than men.
People with this disorder often will first seek the help of a doctor who treats skin problems (dermatologist).
Symptoms
Symptoms usually begin before the age of 17. The hair may come out in round patches or across the scalp. The effect is an uneven appearance. The person may pluck other hairy areas, such as the eyebrows, eyelashes, or body hair
Nina's Graduation Present

Before Procedure with brow sketched in
Nina was very frustrated. She had her brows tattooed several times by an other technician and they didn't last. She was told this was due to her condition. After taking a medical history, I reassured her that she would be a good candidate for the procedure. These new brows were a Graduation present from her "cool" mom.

This work is so gratifying for me. No matter what the reason you are "browless", there is always hope! Don't hesitate to visit for a consultation
