TLDR Hair transplant for eyebrow alopecia areata provided significant relief and improved treatment response.
The study reported on a hair transplant procedure for a patient with chronic eyebrow alopecia areata that had not responded well to intralesional triamcinolone. The transplant involved 85 mini and micrografts placed in the right eyebrow under tumescent anesthesia. The patient experienced 8 months without eyebrow alopecia areata post-transplant. Although the condition eventually relapsed, it became manageable with intralesional cortisone injections administered six times per year. The patient was pleased with the outcome, as it provided a significant period of relief and improved response to subsequent treatments.
