TLDR Microinfusion of methotrexate can help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia.

The study reviews the efficacy of using microinfusion of methotrexate (MTX) for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring alopecia. This minimally invasive technique, known as MMP®, was found to significantly reduce symptoms and improve hairline measurements in affected areas. The procedure was deemed safe and well-tolerated, suggesting it could be a beneficial treatment option for this condition.
