Medical question?

They aren’t correlated.

Alopecia areata?

It affects scalp

Call your surgeon.

How Cold Do You Get, and is it Dangerous?

Within 15 minutes, you would become hypothermic and lose your ability to think clearly. This presupposes that you’re not dressed for the situation.

Is dermabrasion a surgical procedure?

Yes. Any procedure that involves invading the skin is a surgical procedure in my mind. Look up the CPT code.
