    Glossary Hair Follicle Atrophy

    gradual shrinking and weakening of hair-producing structures

    Hair follicle atrophy refers to the gradual shrinking and weakening of hair follicles, which are the tiny structures in the skin that produce hair. This process can lead to thinner hair or even hair loss, as the follicles become less capable of supporting healthy hair growth. It can be caused by factors such as aging, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions.
