A Case Study of Male Pattern Alopecia in Man Improved by V and HA Yakchim and Korean Medicine Treatments

Objectives : The aim of this study is to report the effect of Yakchim and Korean medicine treatment on male pattern alopecia. Methods : Twenty-seven years old male patient who has recently aggravated hair loss in his frontal and parietal scalp lesion was managed by V and HA Yakchim at his frontal area (about 2 times per week), herbal medicine decoction (Hyeongbangjihwang-tang, 2 times per day) and acupuncture treatment (about 2 times per week) for about 5 weeks. Results and Conclusions : After 11 times of Yakchim and Korean medicine treatments, his hair loss was markedly reduced and the hair density of left frontal scalp lesion significantly increased by new hair growth. However, the clinical effect and significance of Yakchim treatment on alopecia should be elucidated by robust randomized controlled clinical trials with relevant comparisons.
