BACKGROUND: @entity1665 areata is considered to be an @entity792 . It consists of patchy hair @entity393 , making it a disfiguring condition. This 10-year study was designed to assess the usefulness of the treatment of the eyebrows with dermatography as a relatively quick and simple method to obtain a cosmetically satisfactory result. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The eyebrow areas were covered with a halftone pattern of tiny dots of color pigments, using a Van der Velden Derma-injector, without anesthesia. On average, two to three dermatography sessions of 1 h were required. The follow-up was 4 years. RESULTS: Thirty three @entity1 , most of whom had been previously treated with a sensitizer such as @entity3304 ( @entity3304 ), were treated with dermatography. Four @entity1 had also been treated by a beautician with a crude form of tattooing. The results in 30 @entity1 were excellent. In three @entity1 the results were good. CONCLUSIONS: Dermatography is a technique offering a good alternative for time-consuming, troublesome treatment modalities that often have considerable side-effects. With dermatography, no side-effects were found.
