    TLDR Microneedling with betamethasone led to almost complete hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata.
    This case report details the treatment of a 3-year-old female with severe alopecia areata using microneedling combined with compound betamethasone. After 6 months of weekly sessions, the patient showed almost complete hair regrowth with no adverse reactions or recurrence. Dermoscopic examination confirmed significant improvement, indicating the potential of this combined treatment as an effective approach for severe alopecia areata. The study underscores the need for further research to validate long-term efficacy and safety.

      The user experienced positive hair growth results using microneedling with rosemary and mint oil, without Minoxidil, Finasteride, or RU58841. They switched from a dermaroller to a microneedling pen and targeted different scalp areas weekly.

      The user shared progress in hair regrowth using a Minoxidil/finasteride topical compound and Olly Biotin. A suggestion to add microneedling was made, but a dermatologist said it's beneficial but not necessary.
