Abstract
Ten patients with alopecia areata (plaque type and totalis type) were treated with oral photochemotherapy. Successful results were obtained in 7 cases. No side effects were noted. Hair growth was related to the energy delivered and was not dependent on the duration of the disease. No relapses occurred after discontinuation of the treatment. The hypothesis concerning the mechanisms of hair regrowth are discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
