    permanent destruction or degeneration of hair-producing skin structures

    Hair Follicle Loss refers to the permanent destruction or degeneration of hair follicles, which are the small structures in the skin responsible for hair growth. This condition can result from various factors, including genetic predisposition, autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata, or physical damage to the scalp. Once hair follicles are lost, they typically cannot regenerate, leading to permanent hair loss in the affected areas.
