    GlossaryWounding

    deliberate or accidental damage to skin or tissues

    Wounding refers to the deliberate or accidental damage to the skin or underlying tissues. In the context of hair and alopecia, wounding can stimulate hair growth by triggering the body's natural healing processes, which can activate dormant hair follicles. This concept is utilized in treatments like microneedling, where tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries to promote hair regrowth.
