GlossaryHair Loss Regression (regression)

previously lost hair begins to grow back

Hair Loss Regression, also known as Hair Loss Reversal, refers to the process where previously lost hair begins to grow back, often due to treatments or changes in underlying conditions. This can occur through various methods such as medication (e.g., minoxidil or finasteride), lifestyle changes, or medical procedures like hair transplants. The term is significant in both clinical and cosmetic contexts, as it indicates a positive response to interventions aimed at combating alopecia.
