Alopecia areata Hominis Placenta Pharmacopunture subcutaneous injections terminal hair

TLDR Hominis Placenta Pharmacopunture helped regrow hair in a patient with stress-induced hair loss.

This case study reports the successful treatment of a patient with stress-induced Alopecia areata using Hominis Placenta Pharmacopunture. The patient, diagnosed 1 year ago, received 8 subcutaneous injections of Hominis Placenta into the scalp lesion. Photographic evidence showed the lesion was replaced with new terminal hair and its size decreased, suggesting that Hominis Placenta Pharmacopunture could be an effective treatment for stress-induced Alopecia areata.
