TLDR Hyaluronic acid injections can cause hair loss due to blocked blood vessels.
The document reported a case of a 30-year-old female who developed alopecia following a hyaluronic acid injection, likely due to vascular compromise. It highlighted that while fillers are generally safe, complications such as vascular occlusion can lead to severe outcomes like tissue necrosis and alopecia. The report also provided a description of the trichoscopic findings associated with this type of alopecia, which had not been previously documented.
