Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to stimulate and/or restore hair growth in areas of hair loss. Methods and compositions relating to PDT treatment for alopecia are disclosed. In light of PDT use to remove unwanted hair by inactivating or destroying hair follicles or destroying the tissue feeding the hair follicles, such methods and compositions relate to a surprising and unexpected discovery. PDT permits a means to treat conditions relating to hair loss such as androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata and drug-induced alopecia.

Selon la présente invention, on fait appel à une thérapie photodynamique (PDT) pour stimuler et/ou restaurer la croissance capillaire dans des zones de chute de cheveux. L'invention concerne des procédés et des compositions de traitement par thérapie photodynamique destinés à traiter l'alopécie. L'utilisation de la thérapie photodynamique pour éliminer les poils indésirables en inactivant ou en détruisant les follicules pileux ou en détruisant les tissus alimentant ces derniers a entraîné une découverte inattendue et surprenante, sur laquelle reposent les procédés et compositions précités. La photothérapie dynamique permet de traiter des états liés à la chute des cheveux, tels que l'alopécie androgène, la pelade et l'alopécie médicamenteuse.
