November 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” 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.
The document concludes that hair loss in women can be treated with topical treatments or hormone therapy depending on the cause.
