Resumo

Introdução: A alopecia frontal fibrosante é forma de alopecia cicatricial linfocítica primária, com perda de pelos na linha de implantação frontal do couro cabeludo e outras áreas corporais. Consiste em doença sistêmica e multifatorial, com influência genética, hormonal, ambiental, racial e, por vezes, de gênero. A técnica de microinfusão de micropartículas através da pele (MMP®) é minimamente invasiva e pouco dolorosa ou indolor.


Objetivo: Revisar a eficácia dessa técnica com metotrexato na alopecia frontal fibrosante.


Método: A revisão da literatura foi feita colhendo informações publicadas em plataformas virtuais buscada por descritores relacionados ao tema, identificados por meio do DeCS, como: “alopecia frontal fibrosante, líquen plano pilar, calvície, couro cabeludo, e metotrexato” com busca AND ou OR, considerando o título e/ou resumo. Após, considerando-se somente os que tinham maior relação ao tema, foi realizada a leitura da íntegra dos textos.


Resultados: Foram incluídos XX artigos.


Conclusão: A aplicação de MTX por MMP® mostrou redução significativa dos sintomas associados à alopecia frontal fibrosante, e melhora nas medidas frontoglabelares e frontotemporais. A técnica mostrou-se segura e foi bem tolerada.
