Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution (FAPD) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia characterized by the combination of clinical and histopathological features of lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia. Recently, the use of stem cells for the treatment of alopecia has received a lot of attention, being identified as a potential treatment for the reactivation of hair follicle stem cells, thus providing the regeneration and development of follicles. The objective of this study was to report the case of a patient with FAPD who underwent a single application session of autologous stem cell micrografts in combination with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). To disintegrate the autologous tissue obtained by biopsy, the 600 μm Microlyzer^® device was used. Two months after the injection, analysis of digital images performed by Hairmetrix^® revealed improvement in hair density, average hair width and increase in hair follicles. The results of this study showed that the application of micrografts with autologous stem cells in patients with FAPD could be considered a safe therapeutic method, responding favorably to a single treatment session with improvement in hair density and thickness. and with minimal side effects.
