Hypertrichosis is a well-recognized adverse effect of therapy with either oral 
or topical minoxidil. We report a case of fronto-temporal hypertrichosis 
occurring in an 8-year-old girl treated for patchy alopecia areata of the 
frontal area of the scalp with 2% minoxidil solution. After failure of 5-months 
minoxidil-discontinuation, hair removal with Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm line) 
(Smartepil II, Deka) was tested leading to complete resolution within 2 
sessions.
