It can be concerning if you notice more hair on your pillow when you wake up in the morning. It's normal to lose a few hairs every day when you brush or wash your hair, but if you're finding an unusually large amount of hair, you may have alopecia. The good news is that we can assist you if you notice thinning or bald spots. We diagnose and treat all types of hair loss at Asmed.

What is Alopecia Areata?

Alopecia Areata is a disorder in which the immune system assaults hair follicles by mistake, resulting in small, circular areas of hair loss. This may occur on the face, scalp, or other body areas. Some people have more severe and permanent hair loss, even though the hair may grow back on its own in some cases. Although the precise origin of alopecia areata is unknown, environmental and genetic factors are thought to play a role.

Alopecia areata is one of several different types of hair loss. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair thinning, loss, and even bald patches. When your immune system attacks your hair follicles, you will experience hair loss. When a hair follicle is damaged, the hair does not regrow, resulting in thinning hair.

Thinning hair, particularly bald patches, can have a negative impact on your confidence and self-esteem. Unfortunately, there is no miracle treatment for alopecia. But you don't have to live with thin hair for the rest of your life. There are numerous treatment options available to help restore your hair and, by extension, your confidence and self-esteem.

Can Hair Transplants Be Used to Treat Alopecia Areata?

Hair transplants are frequently used to treat various forms of hair loss. They entail transferring hair from one area of the body to another. It can be challenging to treat alopecia areata with hair transplants, though. Due to the autoimmune nature of alopecia areata, there is a chance that the immune system will target the transplanted hair as well. In comparison to other hair loss treatments, this makes it less simple. Some doctors might advise against seeking a transplant until the situation is stable.

Is FUE Hair Transplant Effective for Alopecia Areata?

Individual hair follicles are extracted and subsequently implanted in the balding area using a popular hair transplant technique called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). In some cases, FUE hair transplants may be beneficial for alopecia areata, especially if the condition has been stable for some time. However, each person's experience with FUE hair transplantation for alopecia areata is unique due to the unpredictable nature of hair loss caused by the condition. It's crucial to speak with an expert who knows about your specific situation.

What is the Success Rate of Hair Transplants for Alopecia Areata?

Compared to other forms of hair loss, alopecia areata has a lower success rate for hair transplants. This is because hair loss from alopecia areata may last even following a hair transplant. According to some studies, the success rate may range from 30 to 50 percent, however this might vary based on a number of criteria, including the degree of severity of the ailment and the length of time it has remained stable. Patients need to be aware that outcomes can differ and should set reasonable expectations.

Are There Any Risks of Hair Transplantation for Alopecia Areata?

Hair transplants for alopecia areata involve certain risks just like any medical operation. These include the possibility of infection, scarring, and abnormal growth of the transplanted hair. Furthermore, since alopecia areata can be unpredictable, it's possible for new areas of hair loss to develop even after the transplant. In order to make an informed choice, it's critical to go over these risks with your physician.
