    GlossaryJAK3 Inhibitor (Janus Kinase 3 Inhibitor)

    blocks an enzyme involved in immune response and inflammation

    A JAK3 Inhibitor, also known as a Janus Kinase 3 Inhibitor, is a type of medication that blocks the activity of the JAK3 enzyme. This enzyme is involved in the signaling pathways that regulate immune responses and inflammation. By inhibiting JAK3, these drugs can help treat autoimmune diseases and conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.

      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.

      User Tricky9555 tried various hair loss treatments for 8 months with no visible results. Others suggested considering a hair transplant, checking thyroid levels, and being patient for up to 24 months for potential results.
