    GlossaryFollicular Dropout

    gradual loss of hair follicles leading to thinning hair

    Follicular dropout refers to the gradual loss of hair follicles, often seen in conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). This process leads to thinning hair and eventual baldness as the affected follicles shrink and stop producing hair over time.
