    Glossary Anagen Alopecia

    hair loss during the active growth phase

    Anagen Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs during the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, which is the active growth phase. This type of alopecia is often caused by factors that disrupt the hair follicle's ability to produce hair, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, leading to rapid and widespread hair loss.
