Intralesional treatment of alopecia areata with triamcinolone acetonide by jet injector

E. ABELL, D.D. MUNRO

Abstract

Eighty‐four patients with alopecia areata of varying degree have been treated by intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide, using a needleless injector (Porto‐Jet). Results indicate that, in limited alopecia, a high proportion will produce a rapid regrowth of hair. In established alopecia totalis, lasting hair growth is exceptional.
