Fraxel Laser for Alopecia
A Pilot Study on 1550 nm Fractional Erbium-glass Laser for Alopecia Treatment
This is a pilot study to evaluate the effect of the 1550 nm fractional erbium-glass laser in patients with nonscarring alopecias. Participants currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment. Participants will receive 5 sessions of laser, 30 days apart, to the area of alopecia on the scalp. Follow-up is at 150 days.
This study was a pilot study designed to determine feasibility of this procedure.
