This patient is 43 years old. She began to lose her hair, Five years ago.
Since then, the situation stabilized. The biopsy did not show anything especial. Finally, the diagnostic was an Alopecia Areata, but without absolute certainty.
The patient agreed to make a test : consisting in two procedures of 20 grafts FUE.
The grafted hair grew normally without any loss. Also, in agreement with the patient, the surgery was performed this way : 230 grafts on the right side and 242 grafts on the left one. It was a mix between FUT1 and FUT2.
The regrowth was perfect. On the second picture, it is interesting to compare the situation 0+ and the one at 1 year : it clearly shows that there is no big difference between both.
Of course, there is a small risk of recurrence and the patient knew it. Nevertheless, she decided to go ahead.
