No, hair transplants are usually not recommended for alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles unpredictably. Since transplanted hair may also be affected by the condition, results are uncertain. Instead, medical treatments such as corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, or oral medication are considered more effective. In some stable cases, transplants might be performed cautiously, but success cannot be guaranteed. A thorough medical evaluation is required to determine suitability. Patients with alopecia areata are typically better candidates for non-surgical hair restoration approaches rather than permanent transplantation.
