Notas do Editor
Stable is potentially a surgical option but we have to clarify this.
With African-Americans, back involvement may mean frontal involvement. Biopsy both front and back.
Whether stable or unstable, medicine can help BUT TAILORED to the problem
Defer to Dr. Rogers. Spironolactone for pre-menopausal and finateride for post-menopausal
minoxidil 3%/Betamethasone 0.05% with tretinoin 0.01%. after 8 months he switches them to flucinolone 0.01%
Sometimes going entirely backwards
•Over plucking, fake lasers, Bad trend.
•Now performing a lot more corrections of eyebrows for these two reasons.
•Leveraging the tattoo is powerful.
•I have heard that eyebrows don’t grow as well after tattoo and we have not found that because of the use of regenerative medicine
•two hair grafts in center, 1 hair outside
