    accidental cutting of hair follicles during transplant surgery

This can occur when the surgical instruments used to extract or implant hair grafts inadvertently sever the follicles, potentially reducing the success rate of the transplant and affecting hair growth outcomes.

They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
