What is Alopecia Areata ?

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disorder that leads to hair loss in patches, mainly on the scalp. This condition can start at any age. Both men and women are equally susceptible to Alopecia Areata. The typical pattern involves the appearance of one or more bald patches on the scalp. In some cases of Alopecia, complete baldness may occur. Fortunately, in most instances, the hair regrows within a few months. However, for some individuals, hair loss may be permanent.

Hair Transplant as a treatment

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that can be considered as a treatment option for individuals with the condition of Alopecia Areata (bald spots), particularly in cases of permanent hair loss. It involves removing hair follicles from one area of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is typically resistant to balding) and transplanting them into the affected areas.
