    GlossaryHair Follicle Length

    measurement from follicle base to skin surface

    Hair Follicle Length refers to the measurement from the base of the hair follicle, which is located in the dermis layer of the skin, to the point where the hair shaft emerges from the skin's surface. This length can vary depending on the type of hair (e.g., scalp hair, body hair) and individual genetic factors. Understanding hair follicle length is important for professionals in dermatology and trichology when diagnosing and treating hair growth disorders.
