Material and methods. The authors present the results of the study related to the focal alopecia (FA) incidence; 98 patients with FA were included. Clinical examination methods, a dermatological index of the symptom scale, a dermatological index of quality of life, a HAM questionnaire (health, activity, mood), dermatoscopy, indicators of the microelement composition of hair, and immunological tests of blood serum were used. Therapy included laser plasma therapy for lesions and percutaneous laser irradiation of blood (PLI).

Results. The treatment method that included laser plasma therapy and PLI was highly effective in all patients with mild to moderate FA.

Conclusion. The developed method is recommended for the treatment of patients with FA. Patients with clinical improvement or stabilization are advised to repeat the course after 3 months.
