    Glossary Immune-Mediated Alopecia

    immune system attacks hair follicles, causing hair loss

    Immune-Mediated Alopecia (IMA) is a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. This autoimmune response can result in patchy hair loss or more widespread thinning, and it is often seen in conditions like alopecia areata.
