    TLDR Hair transplants can temporarily help with eyebrow hair loss.
    The study described an experimental hair transplant procedure for a patient with chronic eyebrow alopecia areata that did not respond well to traditional medical treatments like intralesional triamcinolone. The procedure involved transplanting 85 mini and micrografts into the right eyebrow under tumescent anesthesia. The patient experienced 8 months without eyebrow alopecia areata post-transplant. Although the condition eventually relapsed, it became manageable with intralesional cortisone injections administered six times per year. The patient was satisfied with the outcome, as it provided a significant period of relief and improved management of the condition.

      A user did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss after four years of treatment and is considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Other users suggest the hair loss pattern may indicate alopecia areata and recommend seeing a dermatologist.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
