learn Tofacitinib

What types of hair loss conditions are most commonly associated with tofacitinib use in clinical settings? Published studies link tofacitinib mainly to alopecia areata and its severe variants — as an off-label drug being studied for them, not as a cause of hair loss. The evidence is mostly small, open-label or retrospective, and relapse after stopping is commonly reported.

learn Hair Transplant

What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Reported risks include swelling, redness, folliculitis, numbness, infection, scarring and temporary shock loss; less often skin necrosis, poor graft growth or over-harvesting of the donor area.
What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.
What are the complications after a hair transplant? Pain and swelling are common. Infection (about 1-2% in the few studies that reported a rate), folliculitis, shock loss, cysts, scarring, poor growth and, rarely, skin necrosis can occur.
