Introduction: The eyebrows are an important facial feature that shape one's physical appearance and play a role in non-verbal communication. Partial or complete eyebrow loss is seen in most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). Despite the scarring nature of FFA, eyebrow hair regrowth has been previously reported. Nevertheless, treatment options and supporting evidence remain scarce.

Case Presentation: We report eyebrow regrowth in 7 patients with FFA treated with low-dose oral minoxidil (OM).

Conclusion: Low-dose OM could be a promising adjunctive therapy for treatment of the eyebrows in patients with FFA, particularly in early disease.
