TLDR Microneedling is an effective treatment for hair regrowth in Alopecia Areata.
The study, conducted by Wael H. A, Mohamed A. K, Ahmed F. R, and Marwa A. Mohammed, evaluated the effectiveness of microneedling as a treatment for Alopecia Areata (AA), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting hair follicles. The study involved 20 patients aged between 10 and 40 years. The results showed clinical improvement in most cases, with increased hair growth and density within affected areas starting at about one month and completing about three months after treatment. The study concluded that microneedling is a good alternative for treating Alopecia Areata.
