research Dermal Filler-Induced Alopecia: A Case Report and Literature Review
This document presents a case report of a 21-year-old female who developed dermal filler-induced alopecia, a rare complication associated with vascular occlusion and tissue ischemia following aesthetic procedures. After receiving 7 mL of hyaluronic acid filler injections in the temples, tear trough, and eyebrow glabella regions, the patient experienced localized skin necrosis and hair loss. Diagnosis was confirmed through trichoscopy, revealing follicular dropout and white dots. Treatment involved hyaluronidase injections, intralesional corticosteroids, topical minoxidil, and CO2 laser therapy, leading to complete hair regrowth and resolution of scarring over a year. The report highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention, with only 16 cases documented, emphasizing the need for awareness and adherence to safe injection practices to prevent such adverse outcomes.
research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Series of 122 Patients
The study evaluated the effectiveness of low-dose oral minoxidil in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) in 122 patients across centers in Brazil and Spain. Results showed that 45.1% of patients experienced subjective improvement in the frontotemporal hairline, with varying degrees of mild (34.4%), moderate (9.0%), and excellent (1.6%) improvement. Additionally, 57.4% saw improved hair density in the interparietal area, while 25.4% and 3.3% experienced eyebrow and eyelash growth, respectively. Adverse effects were reported in 33.6% of patients, with hypertrichosis being the most common at 23.8%. The study concluded that oral minoxidil is an effective additional therapy for FFA, enhancing hair and eyebrow growth and frontotemporal hairline density.
