    GlossaryHairline Recession

    gradual loss of hair at the front of the scalp

    Hairline Recession, also known as a Receding Hairline, refers to the gradual loss of hair at the front of the scalp, typically moving backward from the forehead. This condition is often a sign of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and can be influenced by genetic factors, hormonal changes, and aging.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
