    GlossarySenescent Alopecia (Age-Related Hair Loss)

    gradual hair thinning due to aging of hair follicles

    Senescent Alopecia, also known as Age-Related Hair Loss, refers to the gradual thinning and loss of hair that occurs as a natural part of the aging process. Unlike androgenetic alopecia, which is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, senescent alopecia is primarily due to the aging of hair follicles, leading to a reduction in hair density and diameter over time.
