Alopecia Totalis Changed More Than Her Hair The Story That Inspired Dr. U to Help Mia Return to Disneyland Mia loves Disneyland. Like so many children, she dreamed of being part of the magic. But during a family trip, something unexpected happened. Mia was unable to participate in a princess experience because she did not have enough hair. For her parents, it was heartbreaking. Not because of the event itself. But because they were forced to explain to their daughter why she was being treated differently. Mia’s story involves Alopecia Totalis, a condition that causes complete scalp hair loss. For many families, the challenges of Alopecia Totalis go far beyond appearance. They can affect confidence, identity, inclusion, and the simple moments that childhood memories are built around.
