Given that the available therapeutic options generally do not induce and sustain remission of AA effectively and many adverse effects may occur, monochromatic light sources have been recently gaining attention from clinicians. Therefore, the present paper aimed to report the first case in which photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with a continuous wave red laser (660 nm) was used as monotherapy for AA. Case Presentation: An isolated round area of complete hair loss was subjected to daily PBMT sessions, resulting in significant regrowth (hair of normal coloration and thickness) within 7 days. On the 21st day, the patient\u2019s aesthetic concern was completely resolved. Conclusion: PBMT with a continuous wave red laser seems to be a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of AA; however, additional studies are necessary to obtain more robust evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/jlms.2023.21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T08:02:17Z","timestamp":1690790537000},"page":"e21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Photobiomodulation With a Continuous Wave Red Laser (660 nm) as Monotherapy for Adult Alopecia Areata: A Case Presentation"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4472-6941","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Luiz Felipe","family":"Palma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo.
