ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Cicatricial alopecia (CA) poses a challenge for dermatologists due to irreversible hair follicle damage. While pharmacological treatments offer limited efficacy, surgical interventions aim to improve aesthetic outcomes. This article explores the serial excision technique (SET) as a viable option for stable cases of inflammatory CA. Case Report/Case Presentation Three adult females with different forms of CA underwent staged surgeries to correct CA patches. Procedures included different incision and closure methods based on individual characteristics such as age, type and extent of alopecia, location, and tissue mobility in the scarred area.

Discussion:

CA significantly impacts patients' quality of life, demanding comprehensive treatment approaches. SET emerges as an encouraging possibility for stable cases, providing notable cosmetic improvements and enhancing patients' well-being. This technique offers cost-effective benefits with potential standalone efficacy or in combination with hair transplantation, providing promising outcomes for individuals with CA.
