Successful Hair Transplantation for Treatment of Acquired Temporal Triangular Alopecia

In the documented case, a 22-year-old woman with a 3-year history of hair loss on her left temporal scalp underwent successful hair transplantation to treat acquired Temporal Triangular Alopecia (TTA). Despite using topical minoxidil for over 6 months with no effect, the transplantation of 987 follicular units from the occipital area to the affected region resulted in significant cosmetic improvement without complications, except for mild scalp erythema that subsided. The patient was satisfied with the outcome after 18 months of follow-up. The study suggests that hair transplantation can be an effective treatment option for TTA with a large alopecic patch, similar to its use in androgenetic alopecia, especially when complete surgical excision is not feasible due to the size of the lesion or potential scarring.
