Effect of Microneedling with Growth Factors and Low-Level Light Therapy on Trichotillomania Treatment

This study explores the use of a novel combination therapy involving microneedling with growth factors and low-level light therapy (LLLT) for treating trichotillomania (TTM), a disorder characterized by compulsive hair pulling leading to hair loss. A 26-year-old female patient underwent this treatment twice weekly for four months, resulting in visible hair regrowth and improved scalp condition without any side effects. The findings suggest that this combined therapy is both effective and safe for TTM-related hair loss, highlighting its potential as an adjunctive treatment. However, further research with larger cohorts is recommended to validate these results.
