    TLDR Tofacitinib can help hair grow back in alopecia patients but hair loss might return if the dose is lowered.
    The document discusses a clinical case where a patient with ulcerative colitis, sacroiliitis, and alopecia was treated with the Janus kinase inhibitor, tofacitinib. This treatment led to disease remission, reduced activity of ulcerative colitis and sacroiliitis, and the resumption of hair growth. However, when the dose of tofacitinib was reduced to 10 mg/day, the patient experienced hair loss again, despite the remission of ulcerative colitis being maintained. The document concludes that tofacitinib therapy can effectively stimulate hair growth in alopecia patients, but hair loss may recur if the therapy is stopped or reduced.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
