The optimal treatment for alopecia areata is hair transplantation surgery, which effectively addresses the condition and is currently considered the best available option. Hair transplantation techniques have been continuously refined, and follicular survival rates are now relatively high—typically ranging from 70% to 80%. Postoperative anti-inflammatory care is essential following hair transplantation; infection during the recovery period may compromise follicular survival.
