    GlossaryTopical Tofacitinib

    medication applied to skin to treat hair loss

    Topical Tofacitinib is a medication applied directly to the skin to treat conditions like alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. It works by inhibiting Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which play a role in the immune response, thereby reducing inflammation and potentially promoting hair regrowth.
