GlossaryHair Follicle Migration

process where hair follicles relocate within skin layers

Hair Follicle Migration refers to the process by which hair follicles move from one location to another within the skin. This can occur during embryonic development, wound healing, or in response to certain treatments. For example, during skin grafting procedures, hair follicles may migrate to help restore hair growth in the affected area.
