New to Hair Transplant? There is a guide in the encyclopedia. Read the guide → Studysummary This case report describes a patient with chronic eyebrow alopecia areata who experienced 8 months of symptom relief after an experimental hair transplant, improving response to cortisone injections afterward. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
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.
