    GlossaryCollagen Deposition

    process of collagen buildup in tissues for structural support

    Collagen deposition refers to the process by which collagen, a structural protein, is produced and accumulated in tissues. This process is crucial for wound healing and maintaining the strength and elasticity of skin, tendons, and other connective tissues. In the context of hair and alopecia, excessive or insufficient collagen deposition can affect hair follicle health and potentially contribute to hair loss conditions.
