I developed Alopecia Totalis (total baldness) about 40 years ago. Until recently there has been no effective treatment for it. But now NICE have approved a treatment for it on the NHS – see https://www.nice.org.uk/news/articles/thousands-could-benefit-from-treatment-for-severe-alopecia
My eyebrows grew back after taking immunosuppressive drugs for my kidney transplant which I would not recommend for others as they are nephrotoxic so the drug Ritlecitinib looks to be a positive improvement.
Whether it’s worth my while taking it after so many years of accepting being bald is debatable but it could be a great benefit to younger people who are likely to be more concerned with their appearance. However there are some side effects from taking the drug so some care needs to be taken.
