Aim: Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects the hair follicles. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) treatment in patients with AA. Material and methods: The data of the patients with AA who were treated in phototherapy unit of our clinic between January 2009 and December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical response was named as "good response”, "moderate response” or “no response” when the new hair output is 75% and higher, 51-74%, 50% and below, respectively. Results: Thirty two patients whose ages between 3 and 59 were included to the study. Fourteen (43.8%) were female, 18 (56.3%) male patients, 9 of them were under 18 years of age. Duration of disease of the patients ranged from 6 months to 20 years. Fourteen patients had good response (43.8%), 9 patients (28.1%) had moderate response but the response to treatment could not be obtained in 9 patients (28.1%). The mean total number of sessions was 70.1 ± 32.5 and the mean total cumulative dose was 450.1 ± 284.8 J/cm2. Acute side effects of phototherapy were observed in three patients. Conclusion: Topical psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) photochemotherapy is an effective and safe treatment modality in AA
