Alopecia areata: Impressive results using low-level laser therapy

View through CrossRef
Alopecia areata (AA) is a genetic and autoimmune-mediated disease which specifically targets anagen hair follicles. The disease affects children and adults, men, as well as women, and is characterized by round or oval patches of hair loss. We are presenting here a spectacular case, extremely rare, of AA localized at the level of the scalp, which was successfully treated by Sunetics Laser (Sunetics International, Las Vegas, NV, USA) therapy. Post laser therapy, hair regrowth in the areas that presented hair loss previously, as well as repigmentation, was noted.
