TLDR The combination therapy of microdermabrasion and steroid injections is more effective for treating scalp Alopecia Areata than steroid injections alone.
The study investigates a new combination therapy for treating scalp Alopecia Areata (AA) by using high negative pressure microdermabrasion (MD) along with intralesional steroid (ILST) injections. The results of this combination therapy were compared to the use of ILST alone. AA is an autoimmune condition affecting 0.1-0.2% of the population, leading to hair loss in otherwise healthy individuals. The study suggests that combining MD with ILST may offer a more effective treatment option compared to ILST alone, although the paper does not provide specific data on the number of participants or detailed outcomes.
